ooOOOOooh all this maul apprentice talk is making me think abt how maul's biggest mistake with ahsoka was not realizing that she was ride or die for anakin

#ahsoka your massive blindspot for anakin is soooooooo #*snips and skyguy #star wars

i really like the soft confirmation that the reason why they joked around and had droid kill competitions in tcw was to cope with everything that was happening. it's something that's been headcanoned a lot but it's nice to get actual evidence for it

ahsoka was gonna help maul and then immediately called it off when she realized he was after anakin like—

STAR WARS TALES OF THE JEDI - Practice Makes Perfect (2022) STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS - Victory and Death (2020)

I've noticed newer media about tcw era anakin and ahsoka is generally more angsty and has touched more upon anakin's tough love teaching style (aka tales of the jedi ep), and this episode in particular portrays... idk, a degree of emotional unavailability on anakin's end? which is kind of fascinating because it's somewhat incongruent with their actual tcw portrayal which tended to put a lighthearted spin on things—i think it's partly because newer content is made knowing that the main fanbase has aged up, partly because the deep ins and outs of their dynamic was never the main focus, and partly because filoni's own opinions have developed over the years.

at the same time, this is also something that i've kind of suspected for a while?? anakin's whole deal is chronically bottling up his extremely strong internal emotions, so i don't think it's unrealistic that he seems distant/closed off and then sublimates those feelings into extremely overprotective actions and harsh training. which then also doubly explains why ahsoka was always so frustrated by that in earlier tcw arcs, because from her perspective, it's like he's wanting her to be super independent but then is also simultaneously overbearing.

i've always felt they've never had a "talking" kind of relationship (see: old friends not forgotten), and all of this fits with that idea. that being said, both the totj ep and the ryloth vision are set earlier in their relationship, which tracks with how i believe things improved with time as they got to know each other better, with ahsoka in particular getting a better grasp on the more unsaid things between them.

anyways, it's all very interesting and i'm glad their relationship is being shown as complex and messy, because it was!! they both cared SO deeply about each other, but their respective inability to properly communicate and open up when it mattered doomed them, especially in the setting of such a high stress/trauma situation.

#i told you all the meta was coming #*snips and skyguy #ahsoka tano #anakin skywalker #ahsoka spoilers #ahsoka show #tcw #star wars #sw meta #WOW i have not used my meta tag in a while

actually the part that scratched my brain the most in the episode was thrawn taunting ahsoka by wondering if she would become too similar to anakin!!!! like good shit!!! exactly the kind of trauma ahsoka could have!!! plus we love to see thrawn getting into other people's heads!!!!!!

except that line is completely misplaced in the narrative and has zero in-story impact bc ahsoka already went on her magical spiritual journey to resolve all her anakin issues lmao
