When the lightsabers were returned to Tano prior to the Siege of Mandalo… The end of the season finale of Star Wars Rebels clearly showed us Ahsoka Tano walking back into the Sith Temple after her battle with Darth Vader. Ashoka Tano | Source: IMDb The last time fans saw Ahsoka was when she was in face-off against her former Master Anakin Skywalker — now Darth Vader. There might have been a flash of him remembering himself as Anakin and his love for her. Anakin had convinced himself that there was nobody left that still loved him. I just saw the s2 finale for the 20th time by now. Both sabers contained kyber crystals from the sacred planet of Ilum, with the primary lightsaber having a green blade and the shoto's blade being yellow-green. In his eyes, she was not only innocent of the crimes of the Jedi but an example he soon followed. To Vader, Ashoka was family. As we had seen in the Darth Vader comic, over the 20 years since Order 66, Vader had grown complacent in his position as Sith Lord. I don't think Vader ever had any intentions of killing Ahsoka otherwise he wouldn't have deactivated the lightsaber in the first place. But most importantly, she was powerful- largely because of Anakin- becoming the youngest Jedi Knight in history (that we know of). And then of course, what’s always resonated in my head when I think about that scene, is Vader’s line: “We need not be adversaries.”. Immense anger and hatred. Johnson's "Ahsoka" indicated a female character's one-sided crush on Ahsoka… I think it's possible Vader is still disillusioned by Palpatine then, so maybe the mercy line wasn't a blatant lie. She is so dead! Anger towards himself because he knows she's right. Would've Anakin killed ahsoka if she was present at the temple during revenge of the Sith? The Grand Inquisitor however was a fallen Jedi who had joined with the Vader to hunt his former comrades. If she joined him they could easily overthrow the emperor. Perhaps be able to resurrect his wife. She’s standing there, lightsaber hilts in both hands, and what’s the first thing he does? I also don't think he was trying to turn Ahsoka to the dark side either.. She was always very strong willed even though she did leave the Jedi Order. The Emperor would never let Ahsoka live. You're right about Luke on Bespin. He didn't yearn to overthrow his master as he knew he could never achieve the power to do so alone, and all the force sensitves known were either surviving Jedi, or comparatively weak like the Inquisitors. Some time later, Darth Vader — now more machine than man, dressed in the full black suit — steps across the snow-covered ground of the grave site. I prefer to think that it did still affect him on a deeply subconscious level, as a distant niggling feeling far, far in the back of his mind that might have stuck around -- and then magnified for Luke. Ahsoka Tano is gone. To me there’s definitely no subtext of any sort in that line. And at the same time perhaps anything but death would be considered mercy to both Palps and Vader; left to die, enslaved, etc. His anguish fuels him with the dark side. He toyed with Luke. Ahsoka held her ground, and just as Vader was about to deliver a killing blow, Ezra pulled Ahsoka through a portal. The shoto looked like a smaller, less-detailed version of the other lightsaber. He just wants to kill him. You can’t keep a persistent Sith down. Immediately after turning off his saber, he attempts to sway Ahsoka over to the Dark Side and to join him & the Emperor. Ashoka was not his usual Jedi prey. In Twilight of the Apprentice, Ahsoka's surprise attack slashed open Vader's mask. It is a bit contradictive to what he says in the blu ray. That actually happens during the Darth Vader comic. Would he really not have made the first move if he believed she could be reasoned with? No intention of killing him. I imagine the dark side being like a highly addictive drug and hard to pull away from. Did he really not want to confront Ahsoka until he was forced to? But then it was stamped down. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. If he were to turn away he’d had have to really look at his own actions with a critical eye. Vader's mind: this bitch just ruined my favorite helmet. He was in denial about the whole situation. He had his lightsaber drawn to kill Ezra. The Inquisitors were Vader's chosen jedi hunters. By comparison to those moments listed above, in his scene with Ahsoka when he turns his lightsaber off, it seems a lot less clear as to his intentions. One of the longest-running mysteries of Star Wars Rebels was of what happened to Ahsoka Tano in the Season 2 finale after she faced off against Darth Vader. Maul, by contrast, has no problem killing every Clone in sight like he's Vader at the end of Rogue One. Someone her could turn? But also, was she like Luke to him? But that doesn't matter. This. Thing is, I see some parallels between Vader's interactions with Luke and Ahsoka. He didn’t want to fight Ahsoka. Ultimately he knew what was going to happen and was willing to kill her. She saw their treachery before Vader. Needless to say, Ahsoka is a major character in Anakin Skywalker’s life because she was his former Padawan before he turned to the Dark Side. Sith-a-phus lives another day — we knew that he did, but seeing him do it through a storm of self-created chaos was a sight to behold. Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise, created by George Lucas and centered around a film series that began with the eponymous 1977 movie. Not that she was going to be released. He was no good to him dead. Only person who could get him out of it is obviously Luke. ...actually, i think this idea of mercy was exemplified in an earlier issue of Vader but i can’t cite it. Compare that to Vader’s other confrontations with Jedi and it’s crystal clear when he does or doesn’t want to kill them: Episode 4: Vader’s standing in the hallway of the Death Star with his lightsaber already on, before Obi-Wan has even fully come around the corner to see him. Both sabers were capable of being wielded underwater, as demonstrated during the Battle of Mon Cala. Something once again out of his control. But I feel like with those two lines being right next to each other, “We need not be adversaries” and “The Emperor will show you mercy...” it seems to me like they could be seen as polar opposites of what Vader’s intentions with Ahsoka truly could have been. On The Mandalorian season 2 … After her husband became Vader, Padmé w… He’s planning to kill him before being stopped by Ahsoka. Although they varied in whether the light or darkness in Anakin/Vader emerged in the end, I think the comparable results in Ahsoka's interactions with Vader that would later be seen by Luke's would say something about who Ahsoka was to Vader even as a Sith Lord. Recently, she was seen in her live-action debut on Season 2 of The Mandalorian as a mature and skilled master of the Force. I think that's what makes his redemption so impactful. Ahsoka Tano might be the most beloved Star Wars character in the series to never appear in live-action. Despite his love for his wife, Padmé's life and their children was one of the main reasons Anakin had become the ruthless Sith Lord Darth Vader in the first place. I think he wanted her to live but was still willing to kill. She held her own without any Darksiders power boost. From a subjective standpoint, it was a killer scene, just out of place based on what else we saw in that same era. At least, until now. Vader hated Ahsoka because to him, she was representative of the failures of Anakin Skywalker, and a crucial link towards him destroying any remnants of his Jedi past. Luke makes the first move. None of them had any mastery of the mystical aspects. Oh and one more question. Darth Vader was one of the most powerful Force-users in the galaxy's history, and it is only right that his apprentices were immensely strong too. Rosario Dawson was announced as the star of 'Ahsoka,' part of a 10-show 'Star Wars' expansion announced by Disney on Thursday. He felt like his fellow Jedi were betraying him, but Ahsoka wasn't a part of that. We know what happens when the former Jedi Master and Padawan meet again nearly 20 years in the future as Darth Vader, Sith Lord and Ahsoka Tano, Rebel agent. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Given time this relationship could have evolved into apprenticeship. But for a few seconds, there was Ahsoka. We need not be adversaries. It echoes the way he addresses her by name in Rebels ’ “Twilight of … Snips and Skyguy, is here. Press J to jump to the feed. The duo engage in a duel that ends inconclusively and Ahsoka… When Vader's voice modulator started malfunctioning and Anakin's voice came through calling out Ahsoka's name and Ahsoka told him "I won't leave you, not this time" Anakin's partial facial expression appeared as if he was feeling sadness and remorse, … He felt like his fellow Jedi were betraying him, but Ahsoka wasn't a part of that. The primary lightsaber was a single-bladed weapon with a cylindrical silver hilt with black ornamentation. An important factor of Vader's character is that at this point, the only person who should be able to bring him back from the dark side is Luke - not Ahsoka, not Obi-Wan. I think he was really conflicted about having to face Ahsoka and would've never fought her if he didn't have to. Would Anakin have killed Ahsoka in ROTS if he thought he needed to for Padme? A bird flies by. What do you believe? Someone to take on the emperor with? It seems more clear from that line that perhaps Vader was trying to deceive Ahsoka into trusting him with information about remaining Jedi, then he’d betray her and kill her. Until Luke reminded him he was still capable of redemption, his goal was to eventually usurp Palpatine. By entering in season 7, the fans knew Palpatine wins in the end, the birth of Darth Vader and the galactic empire overthrow the Senate of the Republic. Then, of course, like I said above, his first time seeing Ahsoka again since she left many years ago. After she cuts his mask, he says her name and she says she won't leave him, he looks pretty shaken up by it until he reverts back to being Vader. It's difficult to say. Initially he saw Luke as a chance to gain an apprentice of his own, but soon was overcome by a father's love. Hence his bargaining and trying to convince himself that Ahsoka could turn or even be able to walk away from the situation. In my head I imagine a small inner battle between Anakin and Vader at which Vader prevails. An 'Ahsoka' … He and Luke destroy the Emperor. There’s a split second where he doubts it. Even then, Vader could have killed him at any point of the fight. I honestly did not want that jarring disconnect where he loses a lot of essential skills practically overnight. Even as a Sith Lord, Vader still loved Padmé very much, but felt great guilt for his actions against her. Or was it always his personal intention to kill her regardless? At that point he would have hoped she would 'open her eyes' and join him. I feel as though Vader was truly looking to fulfill his role in the Rule of Two for most of the OT until Luke showed faith in him in ROTJ. Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise, created by George Lucas and centered around a film series that began with the eponymous 1977 movie. For a myriad of reasons. Ahsoka Tano made her debut in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film, and later reappeared in the animated series of the same name. Knowing things like that would soothe a … The appearance of Ahsoka may have created some cracks and uncertainty in his loyalty, but it was never going to break it or turn him from the dark, only his child could do that. But before that, she was a young Jedi betrayed by one of her closest friends in the Order —and it wasn't Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka Tano is a character in the Star Wars franchise. It's a good guess that this last Vader scene is maybe a year or two after Ahsoka dropped her saber, and Vader has come to the planet to specifically track down Ahsoka… Vader had been waiting for this day for a long time. So he keeps his lightsaber sheathed while he is talking. I was comfortable assuming that Ahsoka damaged him … Maybe because Ahsoka never personally betrayed or lied to Anakin? Was it sadness, confusion, why did he hesitate? I think he was really conflicted about having to face Ahsoka and would've never fought her if he didn't have to. I knew that she wasn't going to die in the series finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as she goes on to appear in Star Wars Rebels and is likely set for more Star Wars adventures.

Episode 5: Vader stands as a solemn silhouette before Luke the entire time he begins speaking to him on Bespin. So what could have been holding him back? I would like to think he would not have killed her. It’s worth mentioning that in the Star Wars Rebels Season 2 finale, an older Ahsoka battles Darth Vader in a Sith Temple. However, that wasn't the case. So while Vader might have wanted to get rid of anything that tied himself to his old, weak self -- including his old padawan and friend -- Anakin never grew to hate her. So while Vader might have wanted to get rid of anything that tied himself to his old, weak self -- including his old padawan and friend -- Anakin never grew to hate her. Ahsoka did reveal Grogu's history of being a Jedi foundling in … The end. It might've just been a ploy trying to get her to help him over throw the Emporer. Especially if she stood in his way like Obi-Wan did. Vader is the broken and twisted shell of Anakin, but he's still the same person. We also know Ahsoka Tano will see Anakin Skywalker for the first time in his new, more machine-like state. The character made her live-action debut in Season 2 of The Mandalorian and was a big help … The Emperor will show you mercy, if you tell me where the remaining Jedi can be found. And see the sides of Maul and Ahsoka really put into perspective the decision that the Dark Side had on the situation. She was the apprentice to Anakin Skywalker and held attachment to him. But the rank and file were only trained in the physical force arts. And yet upon seeing her he deactivates his weapon. Vader is merely interested in testing the abilities of Luke, seeing what he does or doesn’t know. Heavy spoilers ahead. When she says "I won't leave you not this time" they stare at each other for a few seconds and then he says "then you will die" you can see his eye make some type of expression before getting angry and saying that line. When they parted he wasn't angry at her like Obi-Wan or even Padme -- he still loved her. In all other cases he should be completely evil. Perhaps he never really blamed her the way he would end up blaming Obi-Wan or the rest of the Jedi? He wanted Luke alive. One being he may lose. Not everyone gets the "we need not be adversaries" treatment, especially when they've been aiding and abetting rogue Jedi and the Alliance. But the interesting thing is, from what I understand (I haven't finished TCW yet, but I totally cheated and watched the scene in Rebels -- so correct me if I'm wrong) Ahsoka never did anything that Anakin/Vader might construe as "wronging" him... besides leaving. I've always liked the idea that Vader is pretty much totally loyal to the emperor until he discovers the existence of his son, and as a side-effect the lies of Palpatine, and at that moment decides he's going to scheme to take power himself. She was not a Jedi. The point is: If Ahsoka had more time to consider Anakin’s darker tendencies, and maybe if she even remembered what happened on Mortis in The Clone Wars season 3 … I think he genuinely didn't want to fight.
