(Image credit: Disney)īefore we move past the Clone Wars flashbacks, we must say it was a bit disappointing that Captain Rex's role in them was limited to a background and small voice cameo. Revenge of the Sith made this very clear, with the Jedi Order's judgement being clouded by the ongoing war, but no one embracing darkness just because they had become warriors instead of the guardians of peace and justice they were supposed to be.Īhsoka fights Vader again. Her master didn't fail as a Jedi even if his son, Luke Skywalker, had to bring him back from decades of evildoing – Anakin's fall to the dark side of the Force had nothing to do with his actions as a loyal warrior during the war. The galaxy needs her, and she's part of a larger legacy. The main lesson here appears to be that, much like Anakin, Ahsoka has to keep fighting in order to survive, even when she doesn't want to. Instead, she's reflecting on how she felt during the long-lasting conflict and what she learned from her unorthodox master. Lady Tano isn't experiencing the real events, and these flashbacks aren't about the battles at all. We could say the Volume's limitations (the LED screens tech they use for backgrounds in these shows) can be felt in this scene, but the following jumps to other major battles of the Clone Wars (the Ryloth campaign and the infamous Siege of Mandalore) are presented in a similar fashion: most of the action is happening in the background around Ahsoka and Anakin, with dust surrounding and clouding the entire battlefield. After several rumors over the past few months, the role of young Ahsoka was ultimately played by Disney veteran Ariana Greenblatt (child Gamora in 'Avengers: Infinity War,' one of the best Marvel movies), who's also enjoying tons of success this year with Barbie.

More specifically, during one of her very first missions alongside Anakin: the Battle of Teth, seen in the Clone Wars movie that preceded the show. The actual trip down memory lane begins when Ahsoka is knocked off a pathway by Anakin and lands as a younger version of herself right in the middle of the Clone Wars. You can be born gifted and trained to fully harness it if you're an apt pupil, but the Force connects all living things. Again, like in Ahsoka episode 3, this show is making a big point about democratizing the Force and reminding us of Lucas' more religious and less mechanical views about a mystical energy that everyone can tap into. We already saw in the previous episode that the kid was strong with the Force, and here he's able to both notice the lightsaber fight happening somewhere in the mystical plane and guide his mother to open her mind and feel it too.

Thankfully, little Jacen senses there's something odd about the waves below them.

There's also the problem of the New Republic command coming after them, as the mission is unsanctioned despite Hera's rank. (Image credit: Disney)Įlsewhere, Hera and her team are getting frustrated in their search for Ahsoka and Sabine, finding no life signs whatsoever near the location where they disappeared. They also strike a nice balance between raw and visceral (like in the sequels) and dance-like (what George Lucas constantly gunned for in the prequels). It's easy to spot some classic moves from Anakin, and Ahsoka also has a distinct style when using a single saber or dual wielding. This is the Chosen One as we saw him in Revenge of the Sith, and we must underline how much better Hayden Christensen as pre-Sith Anakin looks here (thanks to some smooth de-aging) than in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, where he seemed much older and wrinkled even though that flashback was supposed to happen before Attack of the Clones.Īnother big positive of this episode – and the show as a whole so far – is that the lightsaber fights are once again easy to follow and well-choreographed. Still, no red lightsaber nor Vader for now. The reunion with Anakin quickly turns into another fight when he claims she still hasn't finished her training. Inside the World Between Worlds (or Ahsoka's mind), things are more complicated.
