[image description: A series of screenshots from The Clone Wars cgi animated series. They are structured around a quote from Welcome To Nightvale, Episode 34: “Thank you for your interest in a life free of pain. We are not accepting applications at this time. Please try again. And again, and again and again, and again, and again, and again…” The quote is in Star Wars blue font against a black, starry background.
The screenshots positioned under “Thank you for your interest in a life free of pain” depict a series of images depicting happier times. The first shows a scene from Yoda’s vision in season 6, where the Jedi are alive and happy in the Temple: there is no war. The second depicts Anakin and Obi-Wan toasting each other, the second Anakin and Padme cuddling together as they smile, the third Anakin smiling at Ahsoka with pride, and the fourth Ahsoka and Padme embracing each other joyously.
When the quote advises that they “are not accepting applications at this time,” Ahsoka is depicted sitting on her fighter ship, grieving the loss of her squadron with her head bowed.
Beneath, “please try again,” Anakin is depicted in a red and black fog clutching his head in torment as the Son reveals his future as Darth Vader.
The rest of the shots alternate between each other and the blue text of “and again.”
Obi-Wan looks at the viewer in grief and pain as he and others are tortured by slavers.
Padme closes her eyes in grief as she realizes her attempts to make peace is undermined with the assassination of the Separatist Senator, Mina Bonteri. They were friends.
Ahsoka cradles the dead body of Padawan Kalifa as she and the others are hunted for sport.
Anakin bows his head, eyes squeezed shut, as he grieves Obi-Wan, whom he believes to be dead.
Obi-Wan cradles the dead body of Satine, murdered in front of him.
Padme bites her lip in distress as she tells Anakin she needs a break from their relationship, and that she doesn’t feel safe with him.
A screen shot of Ahsoka jumping into the lower depths of Coruscant as she flees from Anakin and his troopers, who are trying to bring her in because of her supposed crime against the Temple. Beside this still is another of Anakin, reaching out towards a prone Ahsoka after she has been finally caught. In the second, Anakin remains in shadow while Ahsoka is illuminated with a beam of golden light.
Ahsoka listens to her banishment from the Jedi Order with her eyes closed. Behind her, Anakin looks on, distraught.
After she is revealed innocent of her crimes, Ahsoka, barely holding back tears of grief and anguish, tells Anakin she is not coming back to the Order. Beside this image is one of Anakin, eyes wide and mouth partly open: he is stunned, he cannot believe she is leaving, this cannot be happening
The final still features Ahsoka walking away from the Temple into the sunset over the final segment of the quote: “and again…”]
