Edited by Harriet Lengel-Enright, Randolf Nombrado, Brianna McLarty, and Ethan Lavinsky

#Ahsoka #Anakin #EasterEggs


I cannot wait to break this video down for you, explain the weird spirit realm Ahsoka was in, and talk about how all of this sets up the force awakens and ties together so many eras of star wars. But first, I am so excited to announce something to you guys. We have made these new designs for our merch store that I think you are going to love.

Check this out. ON screen crush merch dot com today we just launched the high ground shirt–in honor of Anakin. We also have this beautiful poster or tapestry called master and apprentice, showing the lineage of our favorite appendices. [you’re part of a legacy, anakin] And my personal favorite, they just say no to death sticks –go home and rethink your life.

We have so much fun designing these shirts for you guys, and if you’re able to support our channel by purchasing one, we appreciate it. The link is in the description, screencrush merch dot com. So let’s talk about this episode.

First of all, notice that the map to Peridia's core is composed of gears–making it feel like this is indeed a very ancient map, made from ancient technology. Now in the first episode, I outlined how the map and the chamber Ahsoka found resembled the zeffo temple in the game's fallen order. Now the zeffo are an ancient race of force wielders, whose civilization collapsed because of–basically the dark side.

In the game, you have to move these giant orbs and make the temple light up–similar to what ashiok do in the night sister temple. The temple is also filled with ancient movable parts, like its run on gears. Making me think of the ancient people who built this map, the people who followed the purgill routes to begin–they might just have been zeffo. And like we theorized in past videos, maybe when the zeffo civilization fell, they became the nightsisters of dathomir.

Doug: That's a good theory person.

Thanks man. Then Hera lands the ghost on the surface, and man, I am still buzzin gover getting to see these animated shows in live action. Seeing the ghost, or the wa chopper’s annoying little head bobbles around like in the show–it's just so cool. They even did this extra work on Hera’s lekku–her head tails–notice how the twitch involuntarily. Its little details, like this that really bring the galaxy to life.

Huyang is carting Sabine's helmet–which I’m sure will be returned to her dramatically at once point, as she re-embraces her mandalorian heritage. Butfor now, he is just sad robot [clip]

The title of the episode is shadow warrior, which has a few different meanings. One, obviously, it points to Anakin–who was consumed by a shadow of the dark side when he became darth vader. But it also refers to Ahsoka herself. The challenges she confronts in the spirit realm are as much about confronting her own demons.

Ahsoka has lived with trauma and survivir;s guilt for her entire life. She blames herself for Anakin’s fall, and the fall of the jedi order. [I walked away from him] Her spiritual experience was about purging that guilt from her soul. So at the end of the experience, we see her f=reflection–her shadow self, merge into her, and they become one.

Doug: Yeah, I did not get that whole thing. What the heck was going on there?

Well, first of all

Incogni ad

So back to Ahsoka.

Skip this

So, I know most of us are fans of the show Star Wars Rebels, but for those of you who haven;t watched the show yet, I want to give you a very brief TL;DR on this world between worlds. In the show Rebels, a few months before Luke entered the saga, a young jedi named Ezra discovers this portal to a place that’s [clip].

When he entered, he heard voices from the prequels [clip]. And from the original trilogy and sequel trilogy [clip]. So this is like the crossroads of the force, where all of time and space intersect==like we see in this episode.

Ezra meets a force owl named Morai.

Doug: Who's that?

Well, as Ezra says [clip]. Now the entrance to the world between worlds was a portal of three force beings called the father, brother, and sister. And these figures appear throughout jedi lore–because, as sbine explains them [clip]

[Knightfall]

Hats off to Hayden. Perfect Clone wars, knightfall, and RotS Anakin. Hasn’t lost a step and just gave a masterful overall performance. Hope we see more of him.

[brandongonzalez]

Hayden Christensen really did an amazing job. You can tell he adapted and combined his character in the movies to Matt’s in the clone wars and it shows. As a long childhood fan, I’m super happy he’s been able to get another chance to play this character and show how perfect he was for it. Also no other actor wields a lightsaber as good as him!

[oUNDAD]

Just a small correction: Anakin gifted Ashoka with blue blades the last time they met and she abandoned them with the cruiser where the removed Rex's inhibitor chip. The white blades were from a sith inquisitor that she killed and cleansed the blades since all red blades are crystals that have been bled with sith hatred.

[jpordorica]

Small correction: They did design 2 helmets for Rex. In the Ryloth scene he is clearly wearing his phase 1 helmet with the longer crest, the sharp "mouth" vent, and no air filters.
And in the Siege of Mandalore scene he is wearing his iconic phase2/phase1 hybrid helmet.

[Derpfriar]

Young snips was majestic, the actress even got her gait and animated walking style correct. Amazing

[MrSpc]

The wounded clone taking Ahsoka’s hand really did make me tear up

[brendanwalsh]

Hayden has ALWAYS been smooth with the lightsaber!! Of course while dueling, but what really stands out to me is when he is in the flashback of the clone wars, and he is standing casually speaking to Ahsoka while blocking blaster bolts. The way he reacts to them and the way he moves. It truly seems like he senses them well before they are fired..His light saber movement is so smooth and second nature. It doesn’t look at all forced like Balin in the hallway … stiff. He looks so natural and effortless. Powerful. Perfect.

[SouPNaZi]

hearing Hera say to Ahsoka 'May the force be with you' was so great!

[dartsy]

15:54 He definitely also has the phase one helmet, if you zoom in you can see the pointy fin on top that was only on the phase 1

[alecyoung]

I haven’t seen anyone include this Easter Egg yet across the main Star Wars channels on YouTube, but when Ashoka uses the force power “Psychometry” to find out what happened to Sabine after she fell, we get the same sound effects and experience as displayed in Star Wars: Fallen Order and Star Wars: Survivor. This is a neat reference to the gameplay of Cal Kestis using that ability as a necessity throughout the games, and I love that it’s displayed consistently even in Live Action.

[stevenjohnson]

The whole time watching Jacen touching the force in that scene really made me want to see ezra be the one who will train him. That way he can pass on what he learned from his master to his masters son.

[adrianr]

I love the way Anakin fights in this episode. After seeing the lightsaber fights in this show so far, you can a see a MAJOR difference. He's from a different era for sure.

[BnBwithMe]

Dave Filoni has recreated the genius of the audience coming to love Ahsoka, this time in live-action. Most people hated her for the first bit of the Clone Wars (which was an intentional part of Filoni’s plan), and then she grew into everyone’s favorite. He did that again here, with everyone having issues with her stoicism/distanced personality the first half of the season. Now, by the end of this episode, she’s grown into the true Ahsoka we all love.

[jtc]

I thought that her final
lesson was to learn to not run, face her fear and make her choice. This was signified with her facing anakin - taking the saber and tossing it aside. Not running away but facing her fears and enemies and standing her ground

[nastagoryaeva]

Watching this episode I for the first time had a feeling that I am watching a show about Ahsoka. Before it seemed like everyone else was in the spotlight except for her. And I‘m very glad she‘s got this impromptu therapy session. All 4 first episodes I‘ve felt very connected to her, to how tense and focused on one thing she was because of her unprocessed trauma. And now this moments with Anakin. I cried through the whole segment and am so glad Rosario got to play it

[adrianr]

That first flash when Anakin turns into Vader for a second is so badass!!!!

[justintryba]

Anakin and Vader all in one episode was just what we needed

[slimbim]

To finally get to see a live action version of Ashoka and Anakin during the Clone Wars, with his Clone Wars armor was unbelievable and all I ever wished to see.And since everything else has been commented here so far there is nothing left to say than: What an incredibly awesome episode!

[JonLeejw]

Hats off to Hayden C's performance! After Ahsoka throws away the lightsaber, Hayden's face goes from fear, to shock, to discernment, and finally to shame before becoming happy-shiny Mannekin Skywalker. Seriously wish he had a chance to show this kind of range in the prequels...

[tefoca]

The symbolism of falling through water, like Gandalf, was meant to represent a baptism. She is now one with the Force and became a Jedi knight.

I think Anakin showed Ahsoka his dark side to prove that you should be in balance between the light and the dark, unlike the Jedi order used to.
