Or you could take it as Jaycen reading her mind as Baylan did to Sabine the previous episode. Either interpretation works. In fact, if you want to say that it was Ahsoka really fighting an actual battle in another dimension instead of her just imagining it well it can *still* all be "just a vision" even if it was really her fighting. I say that because in ESB Luke had a "real" duel with a "fake" Darth Vader on Dagobah.
His best Star Wars score for me.
That interpretation works for Jacen but not so much when you consider that it seems his mom was eventually able to hear them as well. But then again she's had sex with a Jedi so she's obviously receptive and open to The Force. Maybe Ahsoka should be training her instead of Sabine?
The tactics and most fight scenes in almost every movie are pure garbage and it takes me out of it most of the time. I unfortunately have learned to just ignore it but wish they would just do better portraying those scenes.I agree. I try really hard to shut my brain off in those moments, but I've always disliked the lack of tactics employed on either side of the Clone Wars.
The Battle of Geonosis in AOTC set the precedent of just having both sides rush each other on the ground. Just got worse in animation.
You all have blasters. Don't just charge each other. Where's the combined arms tactics? Air support? Why aren't they using the armor and massive ships properly? It gets very frustrating the more you think about it.
I partly rationalize it internally by saying it's just a good example of Jedi not being cut out to be military commanders. And they aren't. But someone please pick up a Military Tactics 101 book.
I just imagine the highly trained Clone officers with galactic combat tactics indoctrinated into their Jango brains eye rolling every time a Jedi orders their battalion to charge a position head on.
Even that could go multiple ways. For one she never actually says she hears anything. She just smiles after closing her eyes and then gives the order to search the ocean. When Carson asks why, the droid doesn't say "Well the kid has really good hearing and if you go stand over there you too might hear lightsabers in another dimension." The droid instead says that Jacen has special abilities like his father which to me implies that he was "hearing" Ahsoka's thoughts as a Jedi would.
A desperate Mother under extreme pressure looking for any win at that moment in time is going to support her child in whatever means necessary and if that means a white lie “yeah you’re right I hear them too, keep it going kid!” works for me.
And if it was really Anakin then I guess it was really Rex and all those poor clones who had to die all over again just to teach Ahsoka a lesson!
Curious if they will tie it to the voices at the end of TROS.And if it was really Anakin then I guess it was really Rex and all those poor clones who had to die all over again just to teach Ahsoka a lesson!
In all seriousness if anyone wants to believe that it was the real Anakin then go ahead. You've got "I've been told that before" to lean on and the warm fuzzies that believing it was really him brings. You could also make the argument that Ahsoka's "Anakin..." when she's pulled out of the water suggests that she even believed it was him.
But for me personally it's much more logical to assume that this Anakin is just as real as the one Luke encountered on Dagobah, complete with parallels of the test ending when the decision to decapitate or not decapitate him is made.
I think the emotional impact of Ahsoka's journey remains whether it's him or not, and that you can even still have it somewhat both ways in assuming that since Anakin is now "one with the Force" that his consciousness could have had a hand in guiding the vision that Ahsoka was experiencing even to the point of adding those little flourishes like his specific mannerisms and reference to a duel that she never witnessed. Either way I suspect that Filoni will blab all the details and settle the matter just like when he finally shared the mind-blowing truth that if Qui-Gon hadn't died things...would have been different, lol.
Was she even really in the WBW though? That environment could have just been another part of the vision along with Mandalore and the other planet.
