Ahsoka Ahsoka Episode 1.05 - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I really can’t stop thinking about how amazing this was

 

Spoiler

- Well Jacen is clearly force sensitive
- Leia and Kanan name drop!
- What an opening - Endgame feels
- The way this linked everything together, helped Ahsoka confront her own internal conflict, this was emotional!
- Screw the talk of de-aged Anakin - he looks amazing!
- That Anakin - Vader transition - phenomenal
- Where did the third X wing come from?
- How good did the Ghost look in live action
- The internal conflict of all the characters in this one was excellent
- Huyang's reaction to Hera's question about what was Ahsoka's master like was so cool
- The pacing of this ep, freaking amazing!
- ANAKIN AND AHSOKA IN LIVE ACTION!
- Siege of Mandalore!
- FREAKING REX AND STUFF!
- Christensen absolutely nailed it, what a performance!

What an emotional journey. What a deep dive into Ahsoka, truly, truly phenomenal. The use of colour - brilliant.

That may well be the best episode of Star Wars ever, up there with the very, very best - time to watch again!

 

Again I cannot stress how much better this episode was seeing it in theaters one of the best Star Wars experiences

 

Best Live Action episode of SW ever made.

 

I have to agree.

definitely top tier show.

 

Dave Filoni, you magnificent bastard.

 

Marsterpiece, every episode is better than the last one, incredible.

`10/10

 

Like come on. Literally nothing wrong with that episode. Casting of young Ahsoka was ducking amazing

Rex ****ing talked!

I repeat Rex said 3 words! I repeat best Star Wars moment ever.

 

The purrgil stuff was my favorite. Absolutely beautiful. And Hayden looked flawless this episode. ILM, you magnificent bastards.

 

WOW

 

Hayden was much improved.

 

I expected this episode to knock things out of the park, it didn’t do it for me. While it was really nice to see live action TCW, I found the exchanges between Anakin and Ahsoka to miss the mark on what I felt like an exchange between them at this point would be like, and I found the lesson that she basically had to become Luke Skywalker at the end of RotJ to be reborn as Ahsoka the white extremely pretentious.

I’m increasingly not a fan of Dave’s take on the Force at all.

This seemed like extremely well dressed filler.

6/10 for me

Someone please explain to me the narrative point of the entire WBW sequence. Just more member berries to me, I do not understand what Ahsoka is meant to have learned. That she wants to live? Did she not want to live before? She never directly confronts Anakin about his fall to the dark side, he never asks her to forgive him or any of the conversations I would've liked to see them have. She never confronts her (presumed) guilt over not being there in his moment of crisis, what was the point of Hayden Christenson in this!

I'm sorry but this was just so incredibly dissapointing. Just an excuse to have some clone wars flashbacks, that looked like absolute trash by the way, exactly like the finale of Kenobi, just shrouded in smoke and fog.

I need someone to explain to me what I was meant to take away from this, because I just do not get it.

 

So much to like about this episode and so many doors it flings wide open.

 

Outstanding. 10/10

That was some of the best PT era live action I've seen. Hayden gave a brilliant performance as Anakin here. Probably his best ever. It was moving. Powerful. Touching. And very unlike some of the more wooden and stifled stuff from the movies. I loved how he jumped between light and dark to prove his lessons. A post death character where he knows his mistakes, why he made them, and has moved beyond it, ready to teach Ahsoka what he learned. She was trained to be a warrior, which is all young Anakin knew of. But that was wrong. She's much more than that. Anyway...His fighting and saber moves were incredible. Swift and dominating. Very Vader like at times. And it was great seeing actual clonetroopers on screen. Loved the battle itself as well.

And ... there be whales, Captain! Can't wait to see what comes next.

 

Perfect Star Wars episode. Perfect. Thrilling, Fun, and Majestic. Everything that Star Wars could be and is.

Hayden. God I love that man. He still has that proper physicality from the prequels. Most of all though, he captured ROTS Anakin but also the mature playfulness, mentor and joy of the Clone Wars iteration of the character. That balance is exactly how I imagined good Anakin to be when I was a child growing up on the OT. I hope it's not the last of him we see in the season but I'm also satisfied if that's the only time.

Space whales was kind of beautiful.

 

I knew that Filoni wouldn't create an inconsistency between the end of Rebels and this show. Ahsoka the White was a given for me, and boy am I glad she's here. She looks incredible. And I'm loving her enlightened self. Healed, restored. The deep sadness gone. She forgives Anakin ala Luke (refusing to strike him down, etc), and knows that Anakin atoned, and that's lifted a heavy weight from her. She's still like a calm sea, but now there's a fountain of joy beneath. Sublime stuff.

 

This episode had all the feels; Anakin & Vader v. Ahsoka

Things that were clarified:
- Jacen is definitely force sensitive
- Leia is in-charge
- The path is definitely with the Purgils

Now has a Huge Clone Wars fan. MY GAWD that you Dave Filoni; we had Master and Aprentice duel, and Vader and Ahsoka duel. I can’t believe I saw LIVE ACTION Captain Rex, a young Ahsoka and Anakin during different time periods that they were together, then after he turned (which we got the Anakin-Vader transition as Ahsoka was walking behind on Mandalore)

As with the answer to Huyang’s question to Ahsoka this was intense. At the end I heard hints of Leia theme and Ahsoka reply to to Hera is a callback to Luke and Chewbacca in the Falcon at the end of Empire Strikes Back. May the Force be with you (too by Hera)


Episode Rating: 100/10

My goodness this Ahsoka fan girl is in Star Wars heaven

 

This series is now right up there with Andor, RO, ANH and TESB as absolute peak Star Wars for me. Nothing else comes close, except the Siege of Mandalore, which I didn't mention because I was talking live action.

Stunning. Stuff.

I don't like the prequels, mainly because of HC's portrayal of Anakin, but he has COMPLETELY redeemed himself. Filoni directing him, better script, he was FANTASTIC. The visuals. Music. The chemistry between him and Dawson. Im reeling. And absolute emotional powerhouse of Star Wars TV.

 

This episode should have been titled "The Jedi Returns"

 

Ahsoka lives!
