Return of Anakin Skywalker Ahsoka In season one, he gives his former apprentice a final lesson, but honestly, I didn’t fully understand or appreciate it until now. Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebelsseeing Anakin and Ahsoka together in the live-action Star Wars This project is incredible, especially when you first watch it. Even so, when the initial excitement wore off and I started thinking about the episode, I was a little confused about what Anakin was trying to achieve in The World Between Worlds.
While I got the general idea of what Anakin was saying, the execution felt a bit confusing, so the meaning seemed to be open to further interpretation. His words didn’t quite line up with his actions, and given the amount of things Anakin and Ahsoka could talk about, I couldn’t help but think that he missed so many opportunities. Ironically, however, I started to understand the significance of his lesson while I was writing another article about how strange Anakin’s behavior was. It probably took me longer than it should have, but now that I understand it, I enjoy the story even more.
Anakin’s lesson to Ahsoka seems meaningless at first glance
It seems like he just wants to make her stronger
Anakin’s lesson to Ahsoka is simple: “It’s either life or death.” They spend most of “The World Between Worlds” taking this literally, with Anakin attacking Ahsoka and cornering her so she doesn’t fail again, as she did with Byran Skorr. By the end of the episode, Ahsoka chooses to do what Anakin wants, and he’s glad she realized it. However, on the surface, this lesson doesn’t entirely make sense to me.
First, is this a problem for Ahsoka throughout the series? Not really, as she has been protecting herself from the very beginning of the first episode and won’t hesitate to kill if necessary. Maybe Anakin didn’t think she was strong enough, but as a Force Ghost, why would he even reveal his dark traits and force her to succumb to the dark side? It seems like he should have spent his time teaching Ahsoka a lesson on not being like him, rather than encouraging her to do so.
Anakin’s point is that she’s not living life to the fullest and is too ready to die, but the way he makes her realize this is weird. Even if that’s the point, is Anakin really the most worthy person to listen to in this regard? He has an emotional attachment, tries to teach Ahsoka to break the rules like him, and eventually he becomes a Dark Lord of the Sith. However, as I keep revisiting these scenes, it suddenly dawned on me that Anakin did this on purpose, but for different reasons.
I finally understand what Anakin wants to do.
She need not be afraid to become like her master.
While there seemed to be a conflict between Anakin’s stated goals and his methods in The World Between Worlds, I began to understand as I paid closer attention to the outcome of their duel. Ahsoka eventually gained the upper hand, ready to “kill” him with Anakin’s own red sword while her eyes glowed yellow. If Anakin’s goal was to make Ahsoka strong enough to survive, he succeeded. Of course, Anakin didn’t tell Ahsoka to survive, but to stay alive.
Instead of killing him, she threw away the weapon and said “I choose to live.” Ahsoka stood up to her attacker, defeated him, and faced the temptation to kill the man who deserved it, but she chose to spare him. I see now that Anakin brought out his worst character and forced Ahsoka into the fight so that she would realize what he was trying to teach her…she didn’t need to hold back.
Anakin shows Ahsoka that even after becoming like her master, she can still fight and win because she is not Anakin.
As the apprentice of the man who became Darth Vader, Ahsoka feared she would become like him, or lead her own student to a dark fate. That’s why she thought it was best for Grogu not to undergo Jedi training, and why she pushed Sabine away before Star Wars began. Ahsoka Season 1. Anakin shows Ahsoka that even if she becomes like her master, she can still fight and win because she is not Anakin. Fight for justice and fully embrace life Star Wars It doesn’t necessarily mean becoming like Anakin Skywalker, but it can mean living like Ahsoka Tano.
