#since ahsoka doesn't know anakin is vader and all....this will be Fun

[mayhaps-a-blog]

I am a big fan of Making It Work when I watch shows/read books, etc., so here's some thoughts on the latest episode of Ahsoka:

Why did Thrawn send Baylan and Shin after Sabine, when it doesn't matter whether she dies or gets stranded?

Maybe he wanted to get rid of Baylan and Shin as well. He's pretty disdainful of the Jedi, even more than in Rebels; probably, his experiences at the hands of Bridger have been... poor. They're former Jedi, they're mercenaries (loyal only to money), he doesn't trust them to follow his plans... so he clears them off the map, and gets rid of Sabine and Ezra while he's at it. Either they fight and someone dies, and he takes out the survivors, or they all get stranded, and he flies off with no problems. Win-win.

2. How did Thrawn not remember Ahsoka?

The boring answer: it's been 30 years since his encounter with Anakin, and he's forgotten the details like that one-time mention of Anakin's apprentice from Padme. (Maybe there'll be a Marg Sabl moment and Ahsoka will be like THAT'S MINE and Thrawn will be like oh?? it's you??)

The fun answer: Thrawn knows exactly who Ahsoka's master was. What he actually wants to know with that question is how much the others know about Ahsoka, and Anakin... and Vader. And what they're willing to tell him.

For the weird Star Wars ask, questions 1,4,7,8,10,11,14,17,18 and 20 😌😘 Have fun

Oooo good ones. Also hard ones 🤣

1. Qui Gon Jinn. Love or hate? Discuss.

I love Qui Gon Jinn. I love how calm he is and how contemplative he is. This doesn't mean I can't see his flaws though. Regardless he is a one of the coolest Jedi the prequels have introduced, I just wish fans wouldn't put him on a pedestal. Let characters be flawed and wrong sometimes, it's ok I swear y'all.

4. Do you prefer the prequel, original, or sequel trilogy, and why?

God this is a hard one. Original is more nostalgic for me, like I watch them for comfort since I watched them when I was a kid all cozy with hot cocoa and blankets and just adoring the characters and twists. But the prequels are just so meaty and entertaining with the flashy visuals and meme humor.

It hurts to choose but I guess I'll go with prequels cuz I do engage with them more in fandom given how juicy they are. That's not to say the OG isnt juicy but the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is kinda hard to beat there.

7. Dumbest Star Wars moment

God so many to choose from 🤣 but yeah Jar Jar stepping on shit then immediately getting electrocuted. I may have the order wrong on those sequence of events but either way... dumb.

Honorable mention: Jabba's CGI band with Roach and Miss Lips Close up. Just thinking abt it makes me laugh. Like George what were you on? 🤣

8. If you could ask George Lucas one question, what would it be?

I would ask him how he would continue Leia's story after the OG trilogy. I just always felt she deserved more in depth character exploration and I'd want to know his POV on that.

10. If you could pull a George Lucas and sneak into Disney Plus to edit any Star Wars scene, what changes would you make?

I'd take a away the "No... NOOO" from the Vader scene in Return of the Jedi. Just takes away from the suspence of if he will save Luke and ruins it for me. That's really it. Not much of an edit since it wasn't there to begin with. So an un-edit?

Next, I would edit some squeaking noises for C3PO during the Luke and Leia kiss, maybe an "oh my" even though he wouldnt be sure why he didn't like it 🤣 maybe some background dialogue for him and and R2 abt it.

11. Who would you want as your Jedi Master? (Why)

Luke Skywalker. I feel like he would really help with my confidence issues with his tendency for positive reinforcement. And he's nice and calm so he wouldn't trigger my anxiety. But still enough discipline so that I stay sharp and on it which I also need as a scatterbrain. I feel like because he started as a scatterbrain himself, he'd know where I was coming from.

14. BESIDES THE ROTS NOVELIZATION, what is your favorite Star Wars book?

The Approaching Storm is just a chock full of Jedi fun. It gives you an idea of what Jedi are meant to do and you get to see familiar characters in a more relaxed (for Jedi that is) setting.

17. Pick one Star Wars line to describe your life, what would it be?

"All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. What he was doing."

This Yoda line about Luke very much described me for a very long time. I've always felt and sometimes still do. I tend to live in my head and struggle with being present. I guess Qui Gon's line about being in the present applies too.

18. What is your favorite piece of Star Wars merchandise that you own?

Oof I can't narrow that down to one. So it's gonna be the Ahsoka doll you gave me 😘 also the Savi's lightsaber I made. My Lego collection is huge but I have a soft spot for the Tie Fighter and Luke's Landspeeder cuz they were what got me back into Lego since my childhood.

Literally any Lego clone minifigure.

20. Please describe in as much detail as possible the signature scent of Ewan McGregor and/or Obi-Wan. (Are they different? Probably)

Omg, really making me think like a straight woman eh? 🤣 Idk or care what Ewan smells like even though cool dude. Obi Wan... hmmm....

Tea leaves and really faint raspberry. Why? Cuz the nerd eats them off the Jedi Temple gardens. Just seems like a raspberry guy to me. His robes are always clean so probably fresh laundry. His hair smells like puppy breath idk.

[warsamongthestars]

You might be wondering why I have such a fit about TBB (and still do!--its a raging coal fire that hasn't stopped since S2 finale, and just kinda, reignites. Alot. )

[ And if you're not wondering, well I'm talking to myself anyway. I'm typing into the magic box with the funny pictures made of light and there's nobody I'm actually on conversing with in my compooter room anyway. ]

[ so i might as well continue to talk to myself, like the mad media person in all the tv shows, and maybe, one of the incorporeal beings of the magic picture box gets either entertained or pissed off enough. either way, screaming into the void ]

Let's talk about story impact.

I'mma say that a story has a beginning, middle and end. It has talking things called characters, and a general story structure called plot. the fiction it exists in called a fictional world building. the beats it writes to called pacing, and its quickening or slowing often matches the scene it wants (like a heart beat).

THat's the sum story.

What the fuck am I on about again with TBB.

Well, imagine that you have the Story sum above, and there's multiple now. Like, hundreds to thousands, all running on a specific world build, sharing the character of the story, as well as the story of the characters. Created all over the course of decades.

Repetition with positive results is going to have favorable impact. Effort given into a creative work is going to be recognized, even if you don't really like the work.

That's the sum logic.

So what the fuck am I on about again with TBB.

Well, let's take an actual example so that I'm not off topic.

Darth Vader is a very significant character to Star Wars. Star Wars is the story and series of stories that have had decades of work. Its a Space Western Opera (because Sci-Fi generally requires actual thought based Sciences attached--thus the magic in space bits aren't Sci-Fi; you're free to add that thoughtfulness though ).

And Darth Vader was one of the characters repeatedly used, and given significance due to in-story reactions and in-story information, as well as unique costuming, and taking 3 actors to do.

Mixing that with consistent character writing that develops as we learn of the character, and whom we additionally watch develop as the story around him changes; with dashes of world-building used also consistently, mixed with high end emotional-cues by the Music performed...

Creates a character that is very important to the series. Enough so, that to see him, is to immediately think "Star Wars".

And Star Wars is culturally historical. More so than the things it was based off of (and potentially ripped from), such as Dune, Valerian, and Metropolis--the only thing that survived that ripping was the Fist Full of Dollars Trilogy.

And its had Decades. As in, your Grand'rents intimately know Star Wars too. Its painted unironically on things, instead of being made fun of for being a Dune Rip Off but with DnD Magic.

But gods damn it, what does this have to do with THE BAD BATCH?

Well have you ever heard of a Fanfic OC?

You know the ones. The super special awesome totally original donut steel characters that a fan writer of a series will make up, in order to either experience the world or save the day or something.

( I know its more complicated than that, I'll get there )

The point is, is that a character in a well known series that spans decades, requires build up so that even the most stubborn of the audience accepts it.

A series that's big enough and large enough and expansive enough, requires itself to turn its characters into mini stories themselves. Because a big world is complicated, and gets complicated as it grows.

Example-- Ahsoka Tano required 3 years before she became intimately accepted as Anakin Motherfucking Skywalker's apprentice.

Because that kind of position is the donut-steel OC position. She wasn't in the films thus she didn't have an impact on Vader.

( I would even make the argument that Prequel Anakin still doesn't make that huge of an impact on Star Wars Vader. )

( Much the prequels ran into the same "donut steel" argument. )

A different example-- Captain Rex.

Captain Rex did not run into the same issues. Why? Because he slotted with a known position that was needed to complete the Clone Wars parts of the Prequel Sagas. After all, there was Commander Cody for Obi-Wan, there was Commander Bly for Aayla, and so on.

Captain Rex had the backing of the concept of the Clone Wars behind him, which does include from the Original Trilogy, as that's where the concept came from first.

As a character, he had to be a little nuts in order to keep up with Anakin, and a little on the hard order side, in order to live up additionally to Vader.

There was years of build up, and he was expected.

[ Its almost as if you have to know your audience and the history behind a story, to make impact--and that if you're coming in out of the blue, you need more prep and build up, in order to have the same amount of impact ]

[ And once that impact is given, we can flow with the story, and even retroactively enjoy the parts it took to make impact. ]

[ Adopt a new story teller's telling, into a story told by someone else, to make a better story ]

BUT WHAT ABOUT--

Ah ah ah, Don't worry. Build up and Impact, remember?

So, what is exactly my issue with the TBB series.

Its that these mother fuckers had 4 episodes in less than 1 month before their series.

The Bad Batch series is a series of high impact with low reaction. Good music, good animation, set in a known world--but the characters themselves do not have the build up to have impact on anything.

The series itself should have been giving them that build up, and instead, it actually stripped them on impact they initially had.

On a character sheet, the Bad Batch as characters are good. I give them positive review as a "let's go hog wild on the clone concept" They are the limit you can push the star wars clone wars concept before you have to pull back and say "You just wanted you add your fanfic into Star Wars, didn't you?"

( Just as the Prequels made Anakin out to be the limit of the Jedi, rather than just OG Vader's "I turned evil fuck you". )

A long adventure to learn about these characters, just as we learned about Ahsoka and by extension, Rex, would've been required to allow the build up to have the impact that they were clearly introduced to have.

Cos they have a strong introduction... through the eyes of someone else.

We have a series that put them through strafes, when we really didn't know anything about the characters. Even in their TCWs Arc, there wasn't enough about them from their POV that we could summarize a character that would last a series like theirs.

You can't tell me there's a character arc or achetype that TBB didn't invent in order to impose upon characters that do little and aren't allowed to grow from it--or was taken as a side-character role in name any Star Trek episode.

The TBB's high impact story is the going from the Prequel Saga into THe Original Trilogy, from the point of view of the Clone Wars. Its a singificant connecting element of watching the Republic become the Empire. The "Dark Times" as Obiwan "Ben" Kenobi put it, in 1977's Star Wars.

The BBs themselves only had 4 episodes, and they were already pushing disbelief, as they were the limit of the Clone Wars "Clone" Concept, stretched to the last possible point (Cos anywhere beyond that, and we'd be getting into Super Hero territory), and introduced in the Final Season--so all impact they could've had, was already gone from the start because there was no time.

The only way that the current TBB series would've impacted as its era demands, after decades of Star Wars, would be to give it to either Commander Cody (Who was in the Films) or Captain Rex, who was the main Clone of the Clone Wars.

And the only way that the the Bad Batch as characters, could've possibly survived that high impact, is if they had those years behind them--and they don't, they had less than 1 month.

So the Bad Batch as Characters require their own series that lacks high plot impact, in order to survive as characters...

And the Bad Batch show, as a High IMpact Show, requires actual impactul characters to run.

... Do you see the issue now? Or at least one of them?

( I would have gladly accepted a slow paced Bad Batch show that allowed the Bad Batch characters growth, that's what I wanted out of them--I wanted to get to know them. )

( But the current TBB show does not allow that. Story writers can say all the shit they want, but let me remind, if it was important--it'd be in the story itself, it'd be apart of the build up and impact. )

( And there is no impact, and no build up. If I were to put Hunter right next to Vader, he would mean fuck all. )

( And that's one reason I'm so fucking mad about all this. )

@lethalwound

Hands grip at her saber, she's not letting this rebel scum take her. She refuses to be taken captive. She doesn't know this, but the Torgruta is not only her father's former apprentice, but she's also the former own of the crystal inside of her saber. Leia knows little of her father's past as Anakin. She only knows what he has told and that's the bare minimum. She doesn't know who Ahsoka is. She doesn't care. She only knows the other as member of the rebellion. She's lucky to have cornered Leia on her own.

"You're not going to take me in." She sneers through gritted teeth. Afraid of disappointment, she doesn't connect with her father through their bond. In fact, she prepares herself for a fight. She can handle this, she can handle a stray Jedi. It's what she's been trained for. Even if she is taken, there is nothing to stop Vader from tracking down his lost daughter.

[space-blue]

Kenobi thoughts.

It's okay. It's not bad, but it's not great. I'm not sure if it'll end up being good, but it errs dangerously close to being boring and forgettable, right now.

More thought bellow the cut for spoilers.

Why is SW so obsessed with everything being for 6 to 12 year olds?

Why are every bad guy cringe and incompetent? Run into branches and do lame parkour?

Why is the cameraman making Reva pov of grabbing a pipe, cutting in the middle of her assassin creeds backflip to go to a dog-like move? Why is there a minute long cut of Obi-Wan and Leia goofing around while she's doing the cringe parkouring, killing any sense of a chase or momentum?

Why is everyone dressed in sheets and cheap tasteless costumes? I'm not usually one to nitpick costuming, but I'm also not usually one to *notice* it. Grab a tan sheet!! It's trendy!

What about internal consistency?

"the jedi failed you!" Reva says to the people of Tatooine. I beg your pardon? The planet never left Hutt possession. The Jedi were a tool of the Republic. They only came around to scam you and slaughter the locals.

There is so much tell with no show. The grand inquisitor monologues about hunting Jedi to people terrified of him, because as per usual Tatooine is treated not like a remote planet, but the poor neighborhood in a small galactic city.

Why would these people know what inquisitors are? Why would they care about Jedi? And if they know, and care, then why do you feel the need to monologue at them?

Why won't you *show us* that Tatooine is a backwater shit show? Why not open with the inquisitors crashing a slave auction? Why wouldn't the people tell the arrogant goth newcomers to piss off their lawn, only to be cut down? SHOW US dammit. Monologuing to a crowd doesn't count!

Also, if Obi-Wan knows that Vader = Anakin just from hearing the name... erm... how come a stinky little Mos Eisley pub owner can know about inquisitors, but Obi-Wan somehow never heard about *Vader* before? It's been 10 years! Bail works in the Senate, and he came IN PERSON to see you, how is Vader not discussed???

As for Leia, the actress does a great job for being this young. She delivers her lines very well, and she has some really sick burns. Fun! But WHY was she written to go from 14/10 logic to 2/10 just for plot convenience?

She can shame an adult with her sharp words and flawless logic, but when thinking "they kidnapped me to bait you out", her conclusion isn't "he must really be a Jedi then" but "I should totally run under live fire and make this impossible jump there's no way I can land."

Why? And why does Obi-Wan, a grown ass man who raised Anakin and co-raised Ahsoka, somehow fail to catch a 10 yo waddling next to him? Why cut your show the way you did, if you want to make her trotting away realistic?

Why did using the Force look like shitting a brick? Since when does one get so rusty it hurts? Why couldn't they show an emotional/psychological toll, from being instantly outed to all the inquisitors, instead of making it look like he was pulling a tendon flexing a shriveled muscle?

Bail Organa, how easy is it to get into your backyard? Why are the villains all Looney Tunes levels?

It wasn't bad! But it was... Not great. Not riveting. Not breath taking.

Worse, it felt like a short story. Done. I got what the trailer advertised. A Kenobi adventure. I have NO idea what next episode will have, but not in a fun, speculative way. Not "what's next on this journey?" More "Whatever the fuck is this show about then?"

If I weren't a clown platinum member of this circus fandom, IDK if I'd be motivated to come back for more?

Severance had me more edge of my seat than this, two episodes in, and it's about dystopian office work. Like—

Sigh. I'll keep watching. Who knows, it might go towards *good*, but right now it's just watchable. Nothing as bad as BoBF was even 2 episodes in but...

WHO THE FUCK IS SO INTO LAME PARKOUR AT DISNEY??? Can we get them off of this cringe trend? The director of photography CLEARLY doesn't know how to handle it. Just stop!

On the positive side, it was nice to see Breha and Bail... Leia's actress is great... Ewan is handsome, so is Owen. That Clone trooper didn't get the time he deserved and I hope he/others will show up again. Everyone tried their best.... The jawa was cute. Obi calling Leia his daughter was cute.... That's it. Ah, and Order 66 was great again as usual.

Here's to hopping nobody steps on a rake or runs into a fake tunnel next week.

[thechaoticfanartist]

Youth by Daughter + Grim and Anakin parallels

Shadows settle on the place that you left

Our minds are troubled by the emptiness

The Jedi Temple was the place that they left. Once it was full of light and now because of Order 66 it has been tainted by the darkness. Anakin's mind may not be troubled by the emptiness of life within the place he once called home, but Grim's mind is. There used to be so much life within the Jedi Temple and now it is gone.

Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time

From the perfect start to the finish line

Grim and Anakin's relationship was great at the beginning. They were close friends and Grim couldn't help but see Anakin as a brother, and Anakin saw the padawan as his little sister. As the war went on their friendship began to grow weaker as Grim avoided Skywalker knowing who he would become. At the finish line of the war Grim saw Anakin as dead, for all that was left was for him to become Vader. 

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones

'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs

Setting fire to our insides for fun

On Mustafar all that is left is fire. In the end Anakin is destroyed by the flames.

Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong

The lovers that went wrong

Anakin was afraid to let go of Padmé and fell to the dark. Ahsoka had to leave the Jedi and Grim let her go.

We are the reckless, we are the wild youth

Grim and Anakin are both young and wild, and tend to be reckless and impulsive, never listening to their Master.

Chasing visions of our futures

Anakin has visions of the future that Grim knows of. Both of them wish to change this future for the better and to save lives. Chasing after the future in vain hope that maybe it can be changed. For the future isn't set in stone, yet tragedy seems to be destined for the two of them.

One day we'll reveal the truth

After the war  - if they hadn't failed. Both of them had planned to reveal the truth. Anakin would leave the Jedi to be with his wife, and Grim would tell the Council everything that would've happened and she would no longer hide the fact that she was from another universe.

That one will die before he gets there

On Mustafar Grim goes to kill Anakin. She is determined to kill him before Obi-Wan gets there. To end Vader before he can take any more lives. Anakin fights back against the padawan, also determined to kill her. Both thinking the other will die. Anakin doesn't know that Obi-Wan is coming but Grim does and she wants to make sure Vader is dead before he gets there. Or she might die before he gets there. In the end neither of them die, but Grim does lose an arm before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones

'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone

We're setting fire to our insides for fun

Seeing what happened at the Temple broke Grim. She wasn't in the light, even standing by Obi-Wan and Yoda's side. She slipped into the darkness and her grief was replaced with anger and hate. Anakin's fear had long since turned to anger. The anger in their hearts matched the flames of the world around them as they faced each other on Mustafar.

Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home

It was a flood that wrecked this

The "flood" here is Order 66, and their home is the Jedi Temple. Everything is gone and has been erased and the pictures of memories that existed for so long have been destroyed by the darkness.

And you caused it

And you caused it

And you caused it

Anakin caused the massacre at the Temple. Even if Grim wasn't there for it she saw the aftermath and she knows he caused it. Sidious may have given the order but Anakin chose to follow. He caused it.

Well, I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette

I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget

In the end both of them die on Mustafar. Anakin Skywalker died long ago. Grim was fighting a ghost and she knew that in her heart. He was just a lifeless face, and Grim was left as a silhouette who had lost it all after Order 66. She had lost her family from Earth and now she had lost her family from Star Wars and in that grief she turned to the darkness.

My eyes are damp from the words you left

Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest

Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest

After Mustafar all Grim can think about are Anakin's screams. They haunt her every moment, knowing she could have stopped it. Knowing also that it could have been her and that Anakin could have chosen differently, chosen the light still. 

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one

'Cause most of us are bitter over someone

Setting fire to our insides for fun

To distract our hearts from ever missing them

But I'm forever missing him

Grim mourns everyone. The Jedi. The Clones. The Light. All gone, as she tries so hard to distract her heart from missing them. However she will always miss her family, even the brother who betrayed her. She will miss Anakin Skywalker forever.

And you caused it

And you caused it

And you caused it

Anakin Skywalker made the choices he did in the end. Grim Kennet never spoke up. She lives with the guilt, and believes she caused it even if she never did the actions or spoke the words. The blood is shared on both of their hands. They caused it.

[phoenixyfriend]

So @atagotiak and I had some fun discussing Further Elements Of The Above on discord:

Tia:

Ok, so Ahsoka was considering going back and just didn’t think she was ready yet. And she doesn’t have the same self-identity that an Ahsoka that’s been with the rebellion for years would have So what I’m saying is would she say she’s not a Jedi? You could go either direction with that and all the characters would be pretty onboard with her decision, probably

I think she just says "I'm not a Jedi" once on reflex and the Mandalorians roll with it and she doesn't correct them until Obi-Wan comes back and offers her the option of returning and she bursts into tears in his arms because I need Ahsoka crying on people

There’s also something kinda funny about everyone in the time travel group insisting that this lightsaber wielding girl isn’t a Jedi. Which sounds like the most transparent flimsy lie, but then they’re pretty open about the bearded dude being a Jedi

Rando Mando: Oh, what's next, the Zabrak with the lightsabers and obvious Force use isn't a Jedi either? Maul: HOW DARE YOU Obi-Wan, exhausted: No, he's a Sith.

“Wait is she a Sith then?” Though they also might not believe Maul’s a Sith at first. It’s a pretty wild thing to say

"She's, uh... taking a gap year." "Is that a thing Jedi can do?" "Not usually but she was almost sentenced to death for a crime she didn't commit after we booted her for said crime so the door's open for her to come back but she's still pretty upset about it so we're not surprised she's staying away."

Ahsoka's probably not mentally well enough to actually date anyone for a while after arriving in the past, if we go by her novel, so unfortunately Obi-Wan can't come back for her and Anakin only to find her making out with Jango.

Well, the novel also had the crushing loneliness of how most of the people she knows being dead. And sure, they did still die here but would it have sunk in the same way as canon? Especially because I think you’re skipping the ship crash clone death?

She hasn’t lived under the empire at all, and she hasn’t had to deal with quite so much death. It happened and then unhappened and she didn’t actually see any of it

Jango having no idea how to treat Obi-Wan and then Rex leans in with a tiny but clearly shit-eating grin and tells him "he won't frame it like this himself, but he's basically 'Soka's father. So. You know. Play nice."

If he were to bring it up to Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, there'd be a long-winded discussion on the nature of Master-Padawan relationships, Ahsoka's particular situation having such a young Knight for a master, her prior, lengthier paternal relationship with Plo, and so on.

But since he's just talking to Jango, whom he is happy to fuck with and torture psychologically, just a little, he is happy to just say "that guy? yeah, he's your crush's dad."

Well, Obi-Wan might be a lot clingier than usual given everything that just happened Also more vocal about emotions and stuff than usual Ahsoka got to avoid the worst of the mess that’s the rise of the empire but Obi-Wan was right in the middle of it

I feel like he used up all his Family Words on Mustafar

"She is very dear to me" and "She is like a daughter to me" are intensely different difficulty levels after the whole "you were my brother" thing.

Oh, fun thought “Y’know, while of course it’s a deep and important relationship, this whole setup has very little resemblance to a nuclear family and would those terms really be applicable?” “Eh, it’s close enough. And Prime made some very funny faces when I mentioned it”

Obi-Wan can't be allowed to underestimate how many of Rex's 'coping with the deaths of all my brothers' mechanisms right now rest on getting retroactive revenge on young Fett.

Rex only has so many coping mechanisms that don't rely on people he cannot currently rely on. Ahsoka's broken and caring for the babies and Obi-Wan wasn't there and Anakin is. Vader.

And that's it. Everyone else is dead/unalived.

So being an asshole to Fett it is!

[slams back drink*] I have a new nonsense concept.

* I don’t drink alcohol so please imagine this is me taking a sip of my white mocha.

Ahsoka and Rex, due to Maul, get pointed at Mustafar in time to arrive for the Bullshit. Ahsoka definitely goes. Rex and Maul might. What’s important is that Ahsoka gets there juuuust in time to see the last moments, you know, where Anakin is clearly off his rocker and Obi-Wan chops off all his limbs and Padme is dying and Anakin’s on fire, etc.

The fun stuff.

So Obi-Wan is dead inside, Anakin is dead inside and out (mostly), Padme is dying, and Ahsoka just got here five seconds ago, possibly with a renegade Sith Lord (as opposed to the literally-on-fire Sith Lord a few feet away) and shell-shocked clone captain in tow.

Not a great day to be Ahsoka Tano! Decent day to be Maul, though, Kenobi is suffering and Skywalker-the-replacement is on fire and also has lost limbs like Maul did thirteen years ago, he’s having a blast.

Keep reading
