But imagine this: Ahsoka Tano, retired veteran of two (2) galactic wars, wanting to sleep for the rest of her life bc she had had enough of everyone’s bullshit, spending her days in her remote cottage sipping wine and having snarky conversation with Anakin and Obi-Wan. She uses every single occasion to talk and laugh with them (or at them, in Anakin’s case), because that’s the thing she missed the most in their time apart, and she wants to try and have the kind of life her younger self always dreamed of at the temple. That also means throwing shade at Anakin at any given opportunity

That’s how Din finds her: he knocks at her door and honestly has no idea what to expect from a ✨JEDI✨… but this is not what he had in mind. 

She comes to him in furry slippers and a fluffy astromechs-print robe, squaring him down from the steaming tea cup in her hand.

Din: 

Ahsoka: *sighs*…can I help you?

Din: Are you, uh…Ahsoka Tano? The jedi?

Ahsoka, restraining herself from saying she’s no jedi: Depends on who’s asking

Din: Bo-Katan sent me to you, I hav-

Ahsoka, smirking, not missing a single beat: oh right, obi-wan’s sister-in-law *turns to anakin and obi force ghosts and fingerguns*

Anakin: *wheezes*

Obi-Wan: I hate you both very much

Din: *what the FuCk is going on*

The Child: *giggles and does grabby hands to the ghosts*

-all four sets of eyes go on the child-

The three jedi: maSTer YODA??!!

And then, Ahsoka knows her life is fucked for the third time.

BO-KATAN KRYZE in THE MANDALORIAN | Chapter 11: The Heiress

“We’ll be fine, as long as we stay together.” Obi-Wan to Anakin and Ahsoka. How I wish that had been true. I had wanted to post these on Monday, both for the Clone Wars finale and May the Fourth but this ended up being too big of an endeavor for a week and half to get done. Hope you guys like them.

this, right here, is an entire summary of the clone wars. it was an unforgiving war fought by millions upon millions of clones—clones who were on the front lines, who created the name of the clone wars and were the face of it. they were the shields—the helmets. and yet, in the shadows, no one knows what is behind that face of the war, that helmet. what is going on inside that mind. what it’s planning. but as the clones start to crack, as the helmet is cracked here, it is all revealed, and it all makes sense. behind the mask, in the shadow of all of it, grew darth vader. a new empire. and so, as the clone wars draw to an end, as only one clone helmet is left in the piling snow, darth vader and the empire arises.

Old Friends Not Forgotten // Victory and Death

Ahsoka and Anakin Vader

What truly decimated me for the Clone Wars finale was the final scene,those last shots of Anakin,of Darth Vader standing before the wreckage of what was once his ship.The startling difference between what we see as viewers here and literally every other film depiction of Darth Vader is something very simple,but it struck me nerve deep.Look at the way he moves,because he doesn’t move like David Prowse,Sebastian Shaw, and Spencer Wilding, or like other animated versions of him where he is powerful and dominant and strong,he moves like Anakin.

You can see,in those last shots,how thin and young he still is,that even with his severed limbs,he still holds himself and moves like the Anakin Skywalker we know.What we are shown is Anakin,still young in that suit, even when some time has passed, standing before the ruins of what was once his entire life,that he is personally responsible for burning to the ground.We see a shot of the destroyer,of the Open Circle Emblem and what represents the shattered bond he and Obi-Wan had,we are shown the buried graves and the helmet of a soldier who once served him with unending loyalty.We are shown a helmet painted with the face of his former padawan,and we are shown her lightsaber,and it is all encased in snow and ice,immortalized and frozen,the shell of a murdered past. 

And that moment before he sheathes Ahsoka’s lightsaber,we see something that shattered my heart.We see Anakin’s eye,through the red tinted ocular lenses in his helmet,unclearly,but enough that you can see the human face trapped behind the mask.And what is he looking at up in the sky?A bird,universal symbol of freedom.What does it mean?The death of the Republic,the death of freedom?Anakin’s entrapment in his own cage,his imprisonment in the suit and the destiny he has forged while his soul longs for the freedom of before,or a new kind of freedom?Or is it Ahsoka and Rex’s freedom,a symbol to show that while her lightsaber lay with graves,her past left to die like everything else,that they are out in the galaxy on their own terms,to fight for freedom in later years?I can’t quite decide if its an omen of Anakin’s self-made torture and imprisonment in the dark side as Darth Vader until Luke,or if it is a symbol of hope,but either way,it ends in the death of the Republic.

I was mostly ok during the episode.

And then Vader Anakin picked up Ahsoka's lightsaber—a lightsaber he modified to look more like his—and I started crying.

vader didn’t have to fly to a small, remote moon to look for the remains of one, insignificant jedi in the old wreck of a republic cruiser, but anakin—oh, but anakin needed to.

Loyalty means everything to the clones.

Hearing Hayden Christensen had me in the straight up ugly crying. I'm literally feeding myself with crumbs of Hayden in the entire series and the entirety of Star Wars. And it's not fair.

Ahsoka sensing whats happening on Coruscant

Do you know what I love about this? We already KNOW what's gonna happen, we KNOW the plot, we KNOW who survived, but they're managing to show these episodes in a way that it still makes our hearts race and has us screaming and crying and with all these feelings. It's just... so beautifully done. TCW is truly the best Star Wars ever
