Ahsoka didn’t reject the essence of the Jedi Order, its core principles, or the light side of the Force. Instead, she defied the dogma that bound them. While she may not bear the title of Jedi Knight, she tirelessly worked for the greater good in the galaxy. Many believe she became a “Grey Jedi,” Force-users who navigate in the light and dark. But true balance in the Force only comes when it is not corrupted by the dark side. Ahsoka grasped what it took Luke Skywalker longer to learn, that the Force does not belong to the Jedi, and the Order’s teachings are not the sole source of wisdom. By breaking away from the Jedi Order, Ahsoka was spared the path of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. She recognized that a rigid organization entangled with the politics of the galaxy was not the most effective way to serve the Force.

I don't remember being devasted actually, I found it very cool and powerful, and thought it was interesting that she didn't identify as a Jedi

[thedrunksaiyan]

Nobody was devastated when she said that, it was amazing. One of the best lines in all of Star Wars

[theyincorporated]

Above all else jedi, force user, student, or master, Ahsoka is simply a good person

[jeremyneinas]

Ahsoka is the ideal light side force user. I also believe that she’s the embodiment of the light side

[rellosapostolos]

I am no Jedi these beautiful words give me goosebumps, because she rejects t restrictions of the Jedi 😊and shows that the light side is as strong as ever

[CmmanderCdy]

I wasn't angry at ashoka I believe she us right the jedi became political and not just jedi so it's fine that she left

[metatronthoth]

there is so much wisdom in the light side of The Force when it tells us the story of Star Wars.

[workingpadawan]

Actually when I heard those words I got chills, part of me just knew that in that moment she was truly ready to face Vader, face her master, and that her training was most certainly complete she may not be a knight or a master but she certainly is going to be an amazing warrior and teacher if it comes to it.

[Ozmonster-ilec]

I was more shocked that she was gonna fight vader

[joshuacase]

I wasn't devastated, more just shocked. Then I became overjoyed that we had gray force users in Canon, and then the bendu came along.

[RaphBlade]

To me, for Anakin to actually achieve true balance in the force without becoming Vader meant he would have to chose to leave the Jedi Order like Ahsoka & truly live as a free man not torn between JEDI or SITH dogma!

I often joke that the FORCE IS KIND OF AN UNCARING DICK (Shimi's involuntary virgin birth & her subsequent death prove that as does those who aren't force sensitive or don't get the opportunity to come back as Force Ghosts)! But I think that is cause the FORCE has a DARK SIDE & a LIGHT SIDE, with Force users often misinterpreting its will to suit their own ends or belief systems which leads to conflict which can lead to fear, anger, & hatred but could also lead to courage, joy, & compassion! Ahsoka was the Padawan of the Jedi who became DARTH VADER but didn't fall to his blade or the Dark Side, just learned that the Jedi's fall was the will of the FORCE cause the JEDI created an imbalance & were UNCARING jerks who would turn their backs on her then when she was proven innocent would act like they did nothing wrong or at least give her the benefit of the doubt or that it was a SEPARATIST/SITH plot to frame her! They proved my own personal philosophy, that ARROGANCE IS THE BANE OF INTELLIGENCE, as despite being wise masters they couldn't see they were being played by Bariss who was just as much of a hypocrite as the council was as at least Anakin trusted her & proved her innocence!

[tammycreech]

Exactly why she's my favorite Jedi

[jamesrose]

Devastated? Hell no! That was the most awesome phrase ever uttered in Star Wars....she answered Darth Vader saying that "Revenge is not the Jedi way." That was the most awesome response ever!

[christopherthomson]

I loved it when you she responded to her old master that way. The fact that they had both come from the order and needed up in totally different places

[ImTrans-Former]

I was more devastated when they didn’t hire Ashley to be Ahsoka in the Mandalorian and the Ahsoka show

[ericmcdowell]

I loved it she's more than a jedi

[samkarklins]

I wasn't devastated I fully understood and supported

[Fulcrum]

I loved it and wasn't devastated at all

[kyleanderson]

The force is only ever in balance when you use both sides but let neither corrupt you. Even the emotions that use the dark side must be embraced. But they must be balanced by the emotions of the light. Hatred must be balanced with love. Anger with empathy. Arrogance with humility. Anxiety with peace. Desire with patience . You must not allow either side to overwhelm you.

[JoseTorres-ryqe]

Vader, the coldest man with the hardest comebacks quips in the galaxy, couldnt find anything to say. Deep down, it hurt him.
