I love Ahsoka Tano, everyone loves Ahsoka Tano and it's because she's not perfect. Beauty is found in imperfections, and that's why Rey is hardly loved by the old fans.

I finished the Ahsoka show and despite the story wasn't the best, they showed her pain and struggles so good you barely felt the mid ranked story of the series. They showed that her trainings weren't complete, she struggled a lot with her emotions and letting go of the past. Hypocritical enough, she's the one always talking about moving on, yet she hadn't moved on from something that happened a long time ago. Literally remembering and being haunted by her master for more than she knew him, a Ronin who abandoned her cause and left her master behind, drowning in the guilt of what happened after she left him.

If you'd noticed, in every fight, she keeps herself calm but when the opponent says something or does something that gets on her nerves, she allows it to destroy her stance and lose the fight. The fight she had on Malachor with Darth Vader, she was okay fighting with him until the second she slashed his mask off and revealing his true identity to herself. She knew who he was, but her emotions weren't effecting her much as she was in great denial of his true identity. Although, after that she had her doubts and hopes crushed, she got way weaker. If it hadn't for Ezra she'd die to that last deadly blow Anakin/Vader casted which she could easily block like always.

When she was fighting Baylan Skoll, she was keeping up until, first she injured the palm of her hand and that was a huge weakening point for her, meaning she didn't learn to be much of a use after getting injured. HOWEVER! Worth mentioning Anakin never learned that before either! He couldn't keep up a fight without an arm, that was one of the main reasons Dooku despised him (lol). Back to Ahsoka, after burning her palm, she thought Sabine was dead for a brief moment and that also got into her that Baylan had her on a choke point, until she showed up and gave her some more strength.

It was clear that she lived alone for so long, cause she couldn't call the place that her master and her cause wasn't there "home". It wasn't her place anymore, her era ended when Darth Vader "killed" her, if her body didn't die her soul surely didn't make it out whole. She completely survives based on hopes of saving those few friends and family she has left, this is her new cause and it's very heart breaking for someone once filled with hope that now barely has any left. She loses her hope so quickly, and that's what weakens her the most, she blames herself for everything that happens and failing her master and padawan.

This all ended when Anakin showed up, and asked "do you want to survive and fight until your last breath? Or die." Which she realized she wanted to live, outside of his shadow, outside of the self blames and guilt she had for years and finally live in peace.

Here I am making myself cry for a fictional character early in the morning again 😭 she's literally my baby, cmon we've known her since she was born!

[what-even-is-thiss]

You know for the first 18-ish years of your life everyone your age is mostly doing the same things and then all of a sudden every year for the rest of your life somebody your age is getting divorced while somebody else just learned what a leaf is and you have no idea what’s going on or what you’re supposed to be doing

[armandology]

fuuuuck i just realized that the future idealized version of myself cant exist without current me being the catalyst for change and doing hard things. has anybody heard about this

[piningsiskin]

ezra's master being kanan and him receiving training from ahsoka all while sabine's master is ahsoka and she received training from kanan

just a thought: the disaster lineage and shatterpoint lineage are SO intertwined now

mace windu is literally rolling in his grave

[paxtonspell4]

The relationship between Sabine and Fenn Rau is so precious to me.

(3×6 Imperials supercommandos)

Fenn Raul and Sabine

"I made a deal with the Empire to survive.I made a deal with your Rebellion to survive. But joining You? My only true loyalty is to Mandalore"

"Well, I'll keep trying"

"I admire your persistence, Sabine Wren. You could have been a Protector, if not for your traitous past." ( He’s not talking about what happened at the academy—he’s talking about the Wrens and the Death Watch)

*****

"I really thought you left us."

"I considered it. Then I realized You were willing to die for your people, even though they are not Mandalorian. You haven't forgotten our ways. That has earned My respect."

(3×14 Trials of the darksaber)

Fenn Raul To Kanan

"I imagine Sabine was excited to recover it (...) She doesn't want the responsability. Kanan, if Sabine can wild this saber, She can reunite one of the most powerful houses in all Mandalore (...) With Sabine leading It". (Said with excitement)

*****

Fenn and Sabine

"(...) As what that blade represents."

"Right, right, You want me to lead my clan. I don't know if You realize this, but i'm not that popular with my family these days."

"That can change."

Fenn knows that Sabine can do it. It’s not about if—it’s about when. He has seen her in battle, in games and strategy, the good and the bad. To him, Sabine is truly Mandalorian. But Sabine doesn’t feel that she is the one, you know? Because everyone in her life has made her feel unworthy.

Because damn. This girl can catch a break.

Her Ex Best friend being a bitch that give her for dead. And badmouth her?

(2×8 Blood sisters)

Kektsu Onyo to Chopper.

"I had a feeling She wouldn't leave You. She was always soft."

In that same episode, Ezra points out that Sabine does everything alone and explicitly says, 'Leave me alone'

Or in 3x15 with her mother. It's clear Sabine never lived up to that woman's expectations. That didn't exactly help her self-esteem.

Ursa and Sabine

"Fenn Rau's people are dead and mine are not. And I intend to keep them that way. All of them."

"Except for me."

****

"If we stand together now..."

"Stand together? Sabine, it's everything I can do to keep the other Clans from destroying us because of what You did."

"(...) But You don't believe me, do You?"

"Even if I did, it woudn't change all the other ruling houses from seeing You as a traitor."

****

"Do you Even know how to wield that blade?"

"You'd be surprised."

"Always so inmature, so selfish (...) Now I see it in You."

"What do You see?"

"A Warrior. Not the one I'd hoped, but still..."

So, Fenn Rau 10/10 with the mandalorian parenting.

[paxtonspell4]

Sabine is two spots away from Obi-Wan (with Kallus there too 😒) while Obi-Wan is with the rest of the Disaster Lineage. What’s more, the Disaster Lineage is literally what separates Sabine from Kanan and Hera

[solor1]

They put my baby next to the disaster lineage 😭😭😭

"Your legacy, like your Master's, will be one of death and destruction."

This is what Ahsoka's dark side looks like.

Shin returned from the fight without Sabine and Ahsoka automatically assumed Shin had killed Sabine before Shin even had the chance to tell Baylan what happened. Ahsoka feared the worst because what Baylan said to her unnerved her to her core. And in this moment, she allowed her anger to control her actions, which only proved to Baylan that Ahsoka was, in fact, just like her master.

In this moment, Ahsoka is a master and Shin is an apprentice, and Ahsoka failed. Her rage is what ultimately caused her to lose her fight against Baylan. His move should have killed her too, but the Force intervened once more in the form of Anakin Skywalker to teach her one final lesson.

That she can choose her own path. And she did.

We saw the darkness inside of her briefly when her eyes flashed to yellow, but she didn't allow her anger to guide her actions, and that's why she passed. Her actions reflected her Jedi teachings. When Anakin disarmed Dooku, he struck him down anyway. When Ahsoka disarmed Anakin, she finally allowed herself to let go of the anger she felt and accepted that even though the Sith are part of her legacy, doesn't mean she will fall to the dark side too.

She almost fell. She came very close, but she chose to rise above instead of allowing the past to consume her. She freed herself from the fears that were holding her back from being the kind of master that Sabine needed.

And this is what it means to be a Jedi. Regardless of whether Ahsoka is a Jedi in name or not, she still follows their ways because they align with her values. Just because the Jedi lost their way doesn't mean they forgot who they were.

Many surviving Jedi still chose to help others even though the galaxy had turned against them. Many stayed on the path even though they lost everything.

And that is what Ahsoka chooses. The light. The compassion.

Her legacy will not be war. It will be love.

[martellspear]

sorry that you think my fictional ship is illegal. I actually consulted a fictional lawyer about it and he had a talk with a fictional cop about the fictional laws and then they both looked at me, and very seriously said "we'll allow it because it's hot."

[seza-and-her-exo-obsession]

I'm at the point where I can't decide if I'm more obsessed with Ahsoka or Sabine right now, so I've spent the week alternating between re-watching Clone Wars, Rebels and the Ahsoka series.

[solor1]

Literally me all year

[thecleverqueer]

Personally, I’m glad that Filoni opted to focus on the Master / Apprentice relationships in the Ahsoka series. I think it was fitting based on Ahsoka’s own trauma with her master that makes her reluctant to train or teach the next generation of Jedi, and while I still think Sabine was an odd choice, I do think that Sabine is a character that plays well off of Ahsoka based on their personalities.

I know there are chunks of fandom that are mad that other relationships weren’t explored. I think it’s also fair to say that, at this point, there are very few characters that Ahsoka doesn’t know in the time period, and making the show a cameo-soaked “Ahsoka and Friends” montage would have been tired, lame and pointless. I know some fans get rock hard on cameos, glup shittos and blurbos making nonsensical and inconsequential appearances, I prefer a good story that is focused and at least somewhat resembles something that makes sense. Throwing Rex and Barriss and force ghost Plo Koon and force ghost Yoda and force ghost Obi-Wan and Luke and Leia and Hera and Sabine and Zeb and Chewbacca and Han and R2D2 and C-3PO and Boba Fett and Mando and Grogu and Bo-Katan and Mon Mothma and ten other senators and force ghost Anakin and flashbacks of the Wrens and Rook Kast and Gar Saxon and Mace Windu and Baby Ben Solo and all the rest would have been so much that it would have completely taken away from Ahsoka herself… the titular character of the show.

So, I’m happy we just got Ahsoka, Sabine, Huyang, Hera, Ezra, Jacen, and the ghost/ spirit of Anakin Skywalker primarily because these are the people that matter most to Ahsoka at this point in her life. And, this allowed us to get a deeper understanding and appreciation for the character that mattered most in the story, Ahsoka.

[solor1]

I couldn't agree more. People also forget that Ahsoka's arc is about moving away from the past and look towards the future. If Ahsoka show had all these past character cameos it would have taken away from Ahsoka's character development arc.

Currently the small cast of the show are most important people to Ahsoka's character therefore her arc and story are revolving around them.

If she starts having to share screen with 546 different characters of her past, her character development would be less impactful.

[fellthemarvelous]

The Mystery of Chopper Base foreshadowed Ezra's exile.

Ezra's anxieties about Malachor brought him to Zeb. He was headed to a Sith temple with Kanan and Ahsoka, and it was with Zeb that Ezra was able to show his more vulnerable side.

He said it. "I don't know when we'll be back. Or if we'll be back."

And the thing is...the Ezra who came back from Malachor is not the same Ezra.

The new Ezra that came back was traumatized, angry, defeated, grieving, and he blamed himself for just how sideways their mission to Malachor went. This new Ezra started wielding a green lightsaber and came very close to falling to the dark side if Kanan had not been there to pull him back from the edge.

This Ezra came back jaded and vengeful and guilt-ridden after Maul blinded Kanan, and he and Kanan had been forced to leave Ahsoka behind with Vader while the Sith temple collapsed around them.

This Ezra came back with a Maul shaped shadow doing everything possible to make Ezra his new apprentice.

This Ezra survived against Darth Vader for a second time (because someone else was there to save him).

Ezra was already grieving the death of his parents when Malachor happened. Malachor hurt everyone in his family. He brought Kanan back to Hera physically injured and forever changed, and he wasn't able to bring Ahsoka back to Rex at all.

But despite the grief that everyone was experiencing, they persevered. Hera continued on with the mission and Rex spent just as much time pulling Ezra back towards the light as Kanan and Sabine did.

Hera and Kanan's final conversation before Malachor ended up becoming a reality. Kanan regained his vision and was able to look at Hera in his final seconds of life.

Ahsoka and Rex's final conversation was the very first scene in the Twilight of the Apprentice, and it was over Space Facetime. Rex was so nervous about Ahsoka going without him and she had to remind him that she was not alone. Rex is used to mourning his brothers. He's done it thousands of time. He's used to seeing his own face die over and over again. Losing Ahsoka would be different though. She wasn't a clone trooper, but she was still a soldier just like him. She was his best friend, his closest ally, someone he trusted with his life more times than he could care to count. They were each other's sword and shield.

Ezra understands these bonds. It's what his bond with Sabine was becoming.

And all of them (with the exception of Kanan because my boy sacrificed his life to save the people he loved, and Ahsoka because we don't even know when she is, let alone where she is at this point) followed Ezra into battle to take Lothal back from the Empire. They freed Lothal from the grip of Darth Sidious, but Ezra didn't get to see it happen. He was somehow surviving a long ass trip through hyperspace with space whales and a very pissed off Grand Admiral Thrawn.

He spends ten years in exile, alone, on another planet in a distant galaxy with a ship full of stranded Imperials nearby and always ready to kill him, but he still manages to find a new family, traveling with them and protecting them, grieving his loss and becoming more attuned to the Force.

The Ezra that Sabine finds is so much like the Ezra that she first met on Lothal. He doesn't seem to be carrying a heavy burden, but he knows he needs to get back home because Thrawn is a Big Problem, and he's had ten years learning how to outsmart the Imperials and the Nightmothers.

He's returning home with a lightsaber that matches Kanan's and he's about to meet Kanan's son Jacen for the first time.

The empire is toppled now but he and Zeb will have plenty of war stories to trade when they see each other again, especially as the threat of the Empire's return is rising again.

[thatonesongyouretryingtoremember]

AU idea where there is no Clone War or Empire or fall of Mandalore, and Sabine trains under Ahsoka from the start, there's two variants of this idea.

One: as an act of peace between Jedi and Mandalorians, Obi-Wan and Satine sponsor an exchange program where apprentices study for a few years under the other's practice. Sabine gets assigned to Ahsoka. Ahsoka was excited for the program, while Sabine was totally pessimistic i think, it's a good time. The two of them learn about eachother's lives and warrior codes, etc.

Two: Sabine is born on Mandalore but is given to the Jedi temple at a young age, she becomes Ahsoka's first padawan. Anakin kind of fond it funny that Ahsoka, the cocky child prodigy, gets assigned a padawan who can't lift a cup, but Sabine is very dedicated to the Jedi code and mindful and insightful, so the two of them balance eachother out, but it takes awhile given Ahsoka's more casual demeanor (yknow like before the whole betrayal thing that doesn't happen in this au) and Sabine's guarded nature. They both have a strong desire to prove themselves though, so they definitely honor their lineage's legacy of being chaotic as heck.

idk if literally thought of this in the middle of lunch and didn't write it until I'm home so apologies of this actually doesn't make sense lol

[stellanslashgeode]

I see you Star Wars Tumblr posting those Padmé “So this is how liberty dies” gifs. I get that. I hear you. But the prequel era is past now.

Time for Leia Organa and Jyn Erso gifs. Keno Loy. Saw Gerrera. Mon Mothma. That entire Luthen speech. That’s where we’re at today.

Do it.

Ahsoka: What did you do this time?

Sabine: I won't answer anything without my lawyer present!

Sabine picking up her comm: Hera, I need help!

[edenemy-art]

thinking about a good(?) future au where sabine is still ashoka's padawan & they struggle together to get this stubborn little mandalorian teenager through her jedi training

so basically sabine was orphaned as an infant during the war for mandalore & ahsoka takes her under her wing. but then the jedi order reaches out to ahsoka asking her if she would like to rejoin. ahsoka agrees but only if the jedi order agrees to take sabine in & allow ahsoka to train her as her padawan when she's of age.

obv the jedi are like "this girl is so insanely force null there's no fucking way you're gonna be able to train her to use the force"

& ahsoka just says "watch me"

yadda yadda yadda sabine doubts herself immensely during her training but then at fourteen she's finally able to use the force

(ezra is there too & he's being trained by caleb)

'Kanan and Ezra train Sabine to fight with the darksaber.'

This is so important as everyone keeps saying Sabine's force sensivity / Ahsoka taking her on as Master came out of nowhere. But if you watch the show the hints were always there.

Sabine training with Darksaber was needed for Ahsoka and her journey ahead and Ahsoka was needed for Sabine to further expand on her potential.
