Ahsoka Episode 5 heavily explores the titular Jedi’s past star wars With the return of her master, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), everything in the galaxy changes. Ahsoka Tano, played by Rosario Dawson, was seemingly killed by Baylan Skoll. Ahsoka Episode 4 only to find herself in a Force nexus known as the “World Between Worlds” and was welcomed by her old master. However, the return of Anakin Skywalker appears to involve more than just the return of the Chosen One as a Force ghost.
exist Ahsoka In Episode 5, Anakin revealed that he was there to complete Ahsoka’s Jedi training and receive new lessons. However, their journey through Ahsoka’s past together seems to mean that Anakin isn’t coming to his old apprentice like the traditional Force ghost seen in the past. star wars media.Here’s all the evidence for why the world between Anakin’s return and Ahsoka’s visit might not have much to do with Anakin’s actual Force ghost in the universe star wars The Milky Way (though still more than just an illusion).
Ahsoka appears to have been transported to the world between worlds
On the surface, Ahsoka appears to be dead at the beginning of the story. Ahsoka Episode 5 After her duel with the Dark Jedi Beran Skor (Ray Stevenson). Likewise, her soul appears to have been transported to the world between worlds, though it soon becomes apparent in this new episode that there’s more to Ahsoka’s experience with her master than meets the eye.Rather than the world between real worlds that Ahsoka once entered with Ezra Bridger, as shown star wars rebelsmay be different in this new version star wars exhibit.
This version of the world between worlds may be more of a backdrop provided by the Force itself, rather than an actual Force connection and its multiple points across time and space. After all, there’s some compelling evidence that this is all happening inside Ahsoka’s mind. That being said, a connection to the Force makes sense considering that key flashbacks to Ahsoka’s past appear to have been introduced by Anakin himself as part of the course.
Jason and Hera heard the battle – does that mean it was real?
Interestingly, Jason Syndulla seemed to be able to hear the lightsaber duel between Anakin and Ahsoka. Hera trusted her son’s feelings and listened, continuing her search for Ahsoka across the oceans of Sitos.This may be due to the Force abilities provided by Jason’s father, Kanan Jarrus, a Jedi survivor who along with Hera helped launch the Rebellion, as in star wars rebels.
Using his connection in the Force, Jason could likely sense Ahsoka’s body and what she was going through on a spiritual level. This supports the idea that Ahsoka did experience visions of the Force between life and death. Since Jason could no doubt feel what was happening with the clash of lightsabers, whatever Ahsoka was experiencing was much bigger than a simple hallucination.
How Hayden Christensen returned as Anakin Skywalker with anti-aging CGI
with him Obi-Wan KnobbI, Lucasfilm uses minimal digital effects to downplay Hayden Christensen’s age. this means Ahsoka Able to show young Anakin Skywalker before the events revenge of the sith As he appears in the anime clone wars series, adapted into live-action for the first time in this new series star wars exhibit. Likewise, the difference in age and use of effects during the flashbacks compared to World Between Worlds supports the idea that this version of Anakin is more than just a Force ghost.
Although it still looks like this is Anakin’s soul reaching out through the Force Ahsoka In Episode 5, he appears alongside Obi-Wan and Yoda, seemingly not in the traditional sense, appearing in the physical world as a blue transparent form. Return of the Jedi. Instead, Anakin appears more realistic in both this version of The World Between Worlds and in the Clone Wars flashbacks. To that end, perhaps Anakin’s Force ghost will be saved for a future episode.
Why Anakin has a red lightsaber and flashes into Darth Vader
It’s also important to note that as Ahsoka’s lessons continue, this version of Anakin will flash into Darth Vader. Eventually, as their duel continues, he also wields a red lightsaber and has yellow eyes. Therefore, these accounts of the dark side and references to Anakin’s corruption certainly mean that he is not a Force ghost, but instead encapsulates everything Ahsoka remembers about him going through as the Chosen One.
These dark elements in Anakin’s Return support Ahsoka’s inner conflict and lack of conviction when it comes to her past and future as a Jedi. Ahsoka doesn’t want to be a soldier during the Clone Wars, but she also fears she’ll become like her master, especially when he falls to the dark side of Darth Vader. So this all points to Ahsoka learning Anakin’s lessons, choosing to live there, and changing her desires to embrace the Force with greater drive and purpose (despite her own past as well as her master’s past) .
The Flood of Worlds Between Worlds Means This Could Be a Force Vision
It’s also important that the world between worlds is eventually submerged when Ahsoka transitions back to the physical world of Sitos. This is another key clue that Tano is indeed experiencing something in his own mind, rather than being in the world between reality itself.The visually stunning transition back to the physical world certainly hints that this isn’t the actual plane of the universe first seen in the anime star wars rebels exhibit.
Is this reality, an illusion or something else?
Overall, Ahsoka likely experienced a pivotal vision through the Force.It’s not unlike Luke Skywalker’s vision The Empire Strikes Back as he entered the caves of Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda. However, just because it happened in her mind doesn’t make Ahsoka’s experience or her reunion with Anakin Skywalker any less real. When it comes to the Force, its importance remains the same. A master-student reunion would make just as much sense (if not more) if Anakin’s Force ghost showed up to Ahsoka. Likewise, Anakin’s more traditional Force ghost will likely appear in upcoming episodes.
