That scenes are unbelievable.

Hayden Christensen you are a super good actor! Thank you for an amazing Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader!

Ahsoka 1x05

[xuberfanx]

Thinking about how 1x04 ended with the [Vader Theme] playing after Ahsoka sees Ankain.

And how in 1x05 we didn't hear the [Vader Theme] play once.

[charity-angel]

So, this is mostly because I need to vent about something, but...

This time on Ahsoka:

- never thought Huyang would end up as my favourite. I love his bitching about them not doing as they were told. Ahsoka is getting it in the montrals ALL THE WAY to Ezra. She'll never hear the last of it. And neither will Sabine, when they rescue her. And him with Jacen - that is going to be an epic relationship when the kid starts training. (Huyang as the new Yoda - grandmaster to all, all the sass, less of the outright lunacy.)

- ANAKIN! okay, yeah, so technically he appeared last week, but that was so much fun. Hayden looked like he was having an absolute BALL. And we got to see him playing Clone Wars Anakin, who is far superior to the angst ridden movie version. And, as bonuses -

* bb Ahsoka. Who, very interestingly, was wearing entirely the wrong outfit for it being "one of their first missions". I wonder why that might be? A touch inappropriate for a real-life child to wear? Hmm?

* REX! Rex in armour, and a single line, but I feel it bears saying again. REX!!! (I so wanted him to lift his bucket, and be Daniel Logan under there. Still time I suppose - I reckon Skyguy is going to appear again.)

* Did anyone else look out for familiar armour? Like, as soon as the first clone appeared?

And now, the point I forewarned you about. And anyone who actually pays attention to my rants about appropriate tagging will probably have guessed:

- why does it have to be BLOODY PURGILL??? That's rhetorical - I know why. I realised after the first 2 eps they were going to appear. That was, after months of telling my family I was really looking forward to Ahsoka, and then trying to tell them about her without their eyes glazing over, my brother asked me what I thought (no one else had watched yet), and I realised. Purgill. Blasted purgill in all their tentacley glory.

I just don't watch when they're on screen. I probably miss some things because of that but, just, nope. They were bad enough in Rebels, and I can usually cope with animated.

(Not always. Not a fan of Morgana in Little Mermaid 2, and I noped out of Finding Dory when I saw the poster. Apparently she's sweet, but no. Ursula, otoh, is almost entirely fine, despite the fact she's probably the cause. Octopus baddie, THAT scene, on a big screen at age 4? Yeah, it's probably her. I can never watch Blue Planet. Can't even deal with cuttlefish. Yeesh.)

And, just so I'm not leaving this on a negative, or my own personal weirdness, I'm pretty sure there are other people in the World Between the Worlds who might want to say hi to Ahsoka (and Ezra). Just sayin'...

[farfartothewestofeverywhere]

i can't believe we saw Ahsoka without her headband. what's next, Hera without her aviator cap on?

[azurecanary]

On one hand, i want the "Anakin" in 1x05 to be a representation of Ahsoka's subconscious because then that's a feat solely for her to own and not owe to Anakin

On the other hand, i want it to have been Anakin so that she can canonically have whooped his ass in combat

Either way, that episode proved that she was always more than him

[isagrimorie]

oh man#that doesn't happen unless you REALLY think about it (via @sulettarembran)

#And it's not just that she is considering killing him there is also hate in this desire to kill him#It's important to note i think (@darfeld)

It's not just a killing intent, she's had that many, many times before but it's the fury and the hate. Twined together with all of her love for Anakin are hurt and betrayal, but also because moments before this, fear.

Ahsoka was afraid of Anakin as he loomed before her and he threatened to kill her. And not to mention all the other issues that Ahsoka's lived with for a decade after learning Anakin became Vader.

She had already lashed out in anger and fear when she thought Shin killed Sabine. The darkness was already in her but this was the closest she's touched it.

To the point that Anakin himself looked concerned for her.

And then...

She let it go.

Ahsoka's eyes changing to Sith yellow for the split second she considers killing Anakin, tho

[fangeek-girl]

Rewatching Ahsoka practice fighting the clones with Anakin is even more emotional after watching Ahsoka episode 5.

He trained her so hard to survive anything. And yes he was hard on her and she grew up in the middle of a war, but the most important reason she stayed alive all those years was that Anakin trained her to think differently and predict the unpredictable. Even against himself (although he could never have imagined that at the time).

And when she finally meets him again, after all the pain and heartache and death, it’s that little tidbit of hope she needs to accept her past trauma and keep going.

AHSOKA - Recensione 1x04 "Part Four: Fallen Jedi" e 1x05 "Part Five: Shadow Warrior"

Fra piacevoli richiami al passato e uno sguardo verso il futuro, Ahsoka si conferma essere come uno dei migliori prodotti dell'universo di Star Wars, una cosa non da poco...

RECENSIONE 1x04/05

[isagrimorie]

Seeing Liveaction Ahsoka as a kid during the Clone Wars just drove home that Ahsoka WAS A CHILD.

We all knew it but seeing an IRL actor play Clone Wars Ahsoka:

AHSOKA WAS A TINY CHILD.

She was in the middle of War, even in Siege of Mandalore she was STILL a kid. Sure a teenager but she was still so young!

No wonder Ahsoka doesn't want any Padawan who is young. She's never gonna take on a child as a Padawan. She doesn't care how talented they are.

But also, she's so afraid that all she has to teach her padawan is to be a soldier because it was all she knew.

[iminsomanyfandomsitscrazy]

After training Padawans for thousands of years and witnessing the slaughter of the Order, here he is mourning the last master-apprentice duo. And lamenting that they didn’t stick together, even though he told them to because they’re stronger together. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭

can we talk about Huyang for a second?

The Order of which he had been a part for centuries was destroyed. The people he had trained for generations were killed. And at this moment he may be mourning the last master-padawan duo in galaxy.
