Ahsoka - Season 1 Eps 5 Reaction 

The lines they say right before they clash “I won’t fight you” “I’ve heard that before” direct call back to his confrontation w Luke ; so much symmetry and in the end both are reborn as true Jedi

Another cool thing about this episode - having an actual teenager play teenage Ahsoka really drives home just how young she was during the Clone Wars. She really was a child soldier.

The actress that plays young Ahsoka was also young Gamora and played the daughter in Barbie! She's making a name for herself.

"I won't fight you" "I've heard that before" From his own son Luke 😭

im sorry, i love the fact that Jay COMPLETELY missed that Jacen is Kanan's son. That is hilarious!

How the F did Jay managed to NOT spoil himself about Jacen, omg I'm laughing so hard XD

I’m so glad Hayden Christensen is finally getting the recognition he deserves as Anakin🥲

This episode really showed just how young ahsoka was, like that baby beat Maul!

You're right Jay, it is SOOOO good to see Hayden get to act out some good dialogue and writing, and with actual good directing! This is maybe my favorite episode of any Star Wars show.

It’s crazy when you realize just how young she was when she fought Maul.

“What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality for those who may oppose us.”

Not sure which was funnier, Jay missing it (or pretending to miss it) or Adam mouthing to us "He missed it!" But your reactions overall were stellar, gentlemen. Perfect mix of emotion and hilarity, as always. Bravo. ❤️

Sam Riegel (Critical Role), his wife Quyen Tran was the cinematographer. She deserves an award for sure!

I love how it is Brendan Wayne, one of the Mando's, who is the one who pulled Ahsoka out of the water

Watching this show with not finishing Rebels is riskyyyyyy

The episode reaction we've all been waiting for. Preparing for the feels.

"Ive heard that before" was a direct reference to Luke's "I will not fight you, father". It was Filoni's way of letting the audience know that this was indeed the spirit of a post Return of the Jedi, post Vader redeemed Anakin.

Adam and Jay turning into Beavis and Butthead laughing maniacally is peak Preview’d. I laughed soooo hard.

I love that fans realize that Hayden was just doing what he was directed to do by George Lucas in the prequels and that he’s not to blame for the clunky dialogue and wooden demeanor. And I’m so happy that fans are finally embracing him and are genuinely so excited to see him in both Obi Wan and Ahsoka, he deserves all the accolades for these appearances.

The fact that Jay “missed it” and Adam was just waiting 😂….less singing and more paying attention Jay!

This whole second half of the season is just absolutely amazing, still get so giddy watching this episode

4:10 It seems a lot of people didn’t pick up on the meaning behind this line. One of the many little things that helps mentally connect Anakin to Darth Vader, and shows like this to the original trilogy

“I choose to live,” has me in tears every time.

AHHHHH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION TO THIS!!!!!!! The scenes with Anakin were absolutely PERFECT! When he ignited that red lightsaber I literally said “oh shit.” Some of those lightsaber hits just reminded you have how powerful he was. Those flashes between him and Vader gave me chills. With that armor he looked EXACTLY like Clone Wars Anakin. Hayden was on a whole other level of epicness and I loved every single second of it. Something else that I want to make sure is highlighted is the music. It was perfect and fit those scenes very, very well. I love how Ashoka seemed more hopeful when she woke up. Like she FELT like the Ashoka that we have always known. That scene with the Purrgil was glorious. The ending of this episode felt like the end of Empire Strikes Back. “Don’t worry, we’ll find them.” I can see why they showed this in theaters. Some of those shots were so cinematically epic. For real, Dave Filoni needs to be in charge of everything Star Wars. This was probably some of my favorite Star Wars ever!

"I've heard that before" hits so different, with Luke saying the same thing to his dad in ROTJ.

This episode was fantastic and did a great job of showing how scary Vader would have been without the hindrance and restriction of the suit. Just the way Anakin tilts his head and says "Incorrect." Just sooo menacing with just a single word. So good!

It is criminal how good the cinematography was in this episode.

I love the point you made Jay, about Hayden being the right choice for Anakin but having no clue how to perform the part because GL was a terrible director. I wish he had worked with better directors early in his career because the few times he collaborated with talented people, he gave great performances. He plays three different versions of the same character in this episode and they're all distinctly different. That's a great job done by him.

I can’t believe Jay missed that big detail 😂 I was really looking forward to his reaction ngl

I love how Anakin is teaching Ahsoka two lessons here. #1, he's teaching her that she is more than isn't him and that she doesn't have to be afraid of the Dark Side taking her OR her apprentice. #2, most importantly, he's helping her see that she's been in a depression, likely since she learned Ezra was lost. She felt guilty for what Anakin became and it was eating her up. It wasn't as overt as Obi-Wan or Luke, but you can tell just how much her outlook has brightened when she wakes up and is just much more positive than before. She's not just going through the motions any more. She chose to LIVE.

This episode made me cry and just made me so happy. I'm such an Anakin person. And Jay is right. Obi-Wan and this show ❤ really did alot for him

Young Ashoka was portrayed brilliantly by Ariana Greenblatt. She was young Gamora in the MCU, Sasha in the Barbie movie & Koa in 65.

The thruth and honesty in your reactions, combined with the absolutely A-game humor! Is why this has become one of my favorite channels! Makes one validated as to why, one is a Star Wars fan.. Or a fan of anything really

The line from Ahsoka, "I won't fight you" and Anakin's response of "I've heard that before", is so important. It shows this isn't something taking place in Ahsoka's head but really is Anakin reaching back through the World Between Worlds from the end of his life. The "I've heard that before" is a reference to Luke saying "I will not fight you" to Vader, twice in the throne room at the end of Return of the Jedi. There's no way of Ahsoka knowing that so Anakin's response can only be his. Coupled with his ability to switch between his Anakin persona and his Vader persona, i.e. the light and dark, demonstrates that he really was the chosen one as he has found the balance in the force between the light and the dark. We know the World Between Words allows for dipping in and out of time.

Goddamnit Jay, CONTAIN YOUR RIFFS WHEN THERES EXPOSITION!!😂 sheesh even Adam caught that Canan name drop and you--GYAAH I love ya brotha, but sometimes you gotta hit the brakes

The core message from Anakin is that Ahsoka is everything that has come before her. This is true for her character and her show. As much as people like to bash certain parts of the franchise, it all forms a legacy that has brought us here today.

Using a lightsaber must be muscle memory for Hayden Christensen at this point he's still got the moves all these years later.

This episode had so many feels... and I have been waiting since it came out to see your reactions. Was not disappointed. I rate that episode 100/10.

THIS EPISODE WAS 1000/1000 FOR ME AND I CAN'T STOP WATCHING and its SO good to see Hayden back in Star Wars and getting the recongitition he deserves!!!! its what I wanted for him and clone wars flashbacks!!!! this episode was perfection!!!!

I loved that they didn't straight up turned him into Vader, they showed a redeemed Anakin with his darkness still inside. It's part of him, Just as Cade will learn centuries later.

If you guys missed it there was a live action Kanan picture by the steering wheel

Hayden killed it in this. He was early clone wars Anakin, force ghost light side Anakin, and Vader if he never landed in the suit. All with different saber styles as well. Just the highest form of fan service (as a positive thing).

8:00 The actress who plays young Ahsoka also played young Gamora in Infinity War.

6:05 Anakin has the high ground now! He learned!😂

You two giggling when Ahsoka and Anakin start dueling sounded like bevis and butthead laughing at music videos. Lol😂

Amazing episode,it was so cool to see Hayden being the Anakin from the Clone Wars and a master to Ashoka,even if just for one episode.Purgils are really cool too ;)

Thank you for pumping these out. I have been waiting for you two to react to this episode since it released, so good!!! The shedding of a tear on the shirt after the Anakin scene was epic, that same spot had me all in the feels.

Seeing Hayden with a lightsaber again was like seeing Michael Jordan show up to a local basketball court

Anakin being able to use both the Light and Dark side of the force at will is beyond cool. If it was any other character that could do that, I would be rolling my eyes saying that it doesn't work that way, but for Anakin it makes perfect sense given his role as the chosen one who brings balance to the force.

It's amazing that this episode did so amazingly well that it basically green lit love action clone wars. Filoni does it again making absolutely perfect Star Wars content

The music of this episode is so powerful

"He missed it." - I'm surprised you don't miss more stuff with all the adlib and banter.

I will never get over how badass Hayden looked marching towards Ahsoka and shrugging his shoulders. Then the flash of Vader with the thunder. Beautiful.

The young Ashoka actress is playing Tiny Tina in the Borderlands movie. Can’t wait!

Thanks, Jay! Thanks, Adam! 💥 Wasn't the casting of *Ariana* *Greenblatt* as 'young Ahsoka' absolutely inspired?! She's been in some notable projects in recent years... BARBIE (2023), IN THE HEIGHTS (2021), AVENGERS INFINITY WAR (2018).

Oh man then the edits of Hayden walking then the little snippets of Darth Vader oh it was done so well🔥

This, to me, was the most special thing Star Wars has ever done. Moved to tears all over again.

Im so glad y’all are back!

This episode was both Filoni and Star Wars at their best! I think it is my favorite Star Wars ANYTHING in the last several years. Just wow.

"Space Pinocchio!" Did you know there's actually an animated film called "Pinocchio in Outer Space" (1964)? 😉

"Live or Death" Ahhhh Such a Powerful episode 💙❤️🎇🧡💙👏

4:26 Adam and Jay become Beavis and Butthead giggling away for like 15 seconds! 😁

Been looking forward to the reaction to this one

Did yall see Ahsoka's eyes go Sith for a moment when she was holding the saber to Anakin's neck?? Such an awesome episode!

It's here! Finally! I could cry! Yey! I probably will cry during the episode...again. Update: I did. Also... Spoiler . . . . . . I can't believe he missed it!!!!

y’all have an uncanny timing to post when i am cooking and i am so freaking here for it !!!

I missed ya boys! Shameless confession: I watched the series 6 times through. So much to unpack. Can’t wait to see your reaction for the rest. 😅

Just when I thought the Ahsoka hype was over, you guys are taking over the RU-vid reaction section 😂 🔥

I love that Anakin referenced Luke when he told Ashoka that “He had heard that before” when she refused to fight him.

All the Anakin/Ahsoka reactions were 👌. I love this show even more now😁

This is the review I’ve been waiting for, for weeks. Really enjoyed it. Thanks guys.

Realizing that Ashoka had to overcome her guilt over what happened with Anikin... oof

young ahsoka is played by Ariana Greenblatt she was also young gamora in infinity war

Of any episode to watch the uncut, from any of my favorite Star Wars focused reactors, it is this one. 👏🏻

So. for those who dont know......the last person to say "i wont fight you" to Anakin, was luke on the death star in return of the jedi.

IVE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR THIS.

Just absolute peak Star Wars. Loved the ever lovin' shit outta this ep. It's funny you mention Sabine meeting The Armorer... a lot of deep lore people and Star Wars theory crafters are putting their money on The Armorer being Ursa Wren, Sabine's mom. If that is the case, their meeting would be CRAZY on a whole bunch of levels. Does a mall baby chili fries?

The young actress was also the young Gamora in Infinity War.

I loved that this episode was not a retcon of the PT. It just like Clown Wars, filled in missing details. And then also allowed Ahsoka to know she wasn't responsible for Anakin's downfall. A question Rebels set up, but never answered. Now resulting in the berth of Ahsoka the White.

I was waiting for this one. Such an incredibly powerful episode

I have been WAITING for you all to do this reaction!! Did not disappoint 😂

The Anakin that kept palpy up at night...

The internet at the time renamed Ahsoka...aka Ahsoka The White. Yesterday (11.13.23) there was a poster release for the next Disney Plus Star Wars show.... "VADER." It just said 2024 release.

Amazing episode, incredible cinematography, I think this is some of my favourite ever Star Wars and I'm so glad to get to watch it along with you guys

I wish we could tell them one of those X-Wing pilots is Brendan Wayne, aka Mando himself.

"I won't fight you/I've heard that before." Luke in Return of the Jedi, proving this was in fact Anakin (as Anakin the Father, per Mortis arc) not some weird subconscious projection like some people thought. Ahsoka can also do the psychometry stuff because in Legends the Togruta had a heightened sense of perception through their physiology, which is why so many were Jedi.

Still. Everytime. So glad to see your reactions matched most of mine. Can’t wait for the rest of it. Lezzzgo

The Chosen One can do whatever the funk he wants to.

This episode was peak Star Wars

Woohooo! Keep the Firehose coming!!!

I’ve been so keen to see you guys watch episode 5! Didn’t disappoint! 🫡

4:04 small detail easily missed - Luke said this to Darth Vader in the final showdown of RotJ, hence Anakin's response

Aww it's so good to see you back again, I've missed you

0:51 I see you a force ghost and raise you a world between worlds physical presence! 1:56 try EVERYTHING! 2:54 Heartbreaking. just Heartbreaking. 5:45 WHAT?!!!? AW, precious Jay! 6:10 I've been looking forward to see your minds blown in real time! 7:41 indeed Jay, Shit Rocks! 15:35 YES exactly! 18:57 I don't know if that was intentional or not, but well done!

This episode was in theaters one time only

I’ve said under too many videos at this point but I will say it again. This episode proves that a Vader horror film would be so good

The actor who plays young Ashoka is the same who played young gamora in Infintiy War. Well versed young actor!

The is the episode reaction I was waiting for and it did not disappoint... Lol straight FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

15:52 THANK YOU ADAM!!!! Finally someone did the "I speak whale" thing!!!!

I liked the video based on the Turk and JD reference at the beginning, the rest was just icing on the cake.
