Ahsoka and Anakin’s reunion deserved to be an entire episode, not just the better half of one.
Ahsoka seems to finally be finding its stride with Episode 5 — perhaps a little late, but fitting given that this is the first real look we’ve gotten into Ahsoka’s past in live-action. Having Anakin Skywalker here to shepherd us through this stroll down memory lane is both narratively fulfilling and just plain fun.
We jump forward again in time to a slightly older Ahsoka, this time wearing her gear from the end of The Clone Wars series. This battle has no Anakin; they’ve already separated by this time. But we see a much more confident and aggressive Ahsoka taking out numerous enemies with ease.
'Ahsoka' Episode 5 Had Some Missed Opportunities The lackluster fight wasn’t the only problem. Cordoning the Anakin reunion off to only half the episode meant we only got two distinct flashbacks from Ahsoka: One from super early on in her Jedi career and another from after she’d left. That’s a huge chunk of time, time specifically relevant to her relationship with Anakin, that we’re leaving completely untouched.
