Ahsoka Episode 5 - Ending Scene - Darth Vader Vs Ahsoka - Full Fight (HD)

‘Ahsoka’ Episode 5 Recap: Chasing the Ghosts of Better Stories..“Shadow Warrior“ reunites Snips with SkyGuy, but to what end? Now that we have officially crossed the midway point for Ahsoka, Dave Filoni has returned to not only pen Episode 5, titled “Shadow Warrior,” but to direct it as well. With the episode simultaneously airing in theaters across the country, it appears that Filoni is trying to prepare himself for a silver-screen debut, though it seems that he still needs to hone his craft. Cinematic digital landscapes and dramatic Light Side vs. Dark Side duels can only go so far, and this week’s episode underscores that. It chases after the ghosts of better stories, clinging to their spectral tendrils in hopes of drawing from the emotions they once inspired in the hearts of fans. The episode opens where “Fallen Jedi” left off, with Hera (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) searching for answers about what happened to Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) before she and Carson (​​Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) were able to reach them. After a short while, she discovers Huyang (David Tennant) perched on the cliff face, mourning the apparent loss of Ahsoka and Sabine, in a way that he knows best — fretting over the fact that they didn’t listen to his warning about staying together. But we know Ahsoka isn’t gone, at least not yet. As last week’s episode revealed in its final moments, Ahsoka’s fall into the ocean sent her into the World Between Worlds, where she finds herself once again face-to-face with her former master, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). Anakin looks far less like his computer-generated and de-aged son this week, though the uncanny valley in their de-aging persists, made worse by the playful barbing between the characters about aging. Ahsoka questions what happened to her, and Anakin goads her with a blunt answer: “You lost a fight.” She does remember some of what happened to her in her final moments, which Anakin reveals is a good thing. If she still remembers what happened, then there’s still a chance for her to survive the whole ordeal. Rather than answering her questions, Anakin informs Ahsoka that he has come to her to finish her training — which doesn’t make much sense. Ahsoka famously left the Jedi Order and is no longer a Jedi and Anakin… well, we all know what Anakin did. Furthermore, Star Wars has been stuck in a rut with the idea that so many of its female characters need to train or to be shown training, while Luke Skywalker is left to build a new Jedi Order. We also know how that went. Worse yet, Ahsoka’s “training” stands in the place of actual storytelling. By driving Ahsoka and Anakin straight into a duel, we’re robbed of dialogue and character moments that could heighten the story that Filoni is attempting to tell. Filoni mistakenly believes that what audiences have been longing for is another poorly lit lightsaber duel — only this time between Anakin and Ahsoka — but that isn’t what anyone has been pining for. Especially not casual fans who know who Anakin is, but have no concept of why this duel with Ahsoka should matter to them. Even fans of The Clone Wars haven’t been looking forward to this, regardless of whether they’ve wanted Ahsoka and Anakin to reunite. We don’t want them to fight; we want them to talk, though, that’s a wish far too steep to be granted by Star Wars. Anakin cuts through the platform they’re standing on, sending Ahsoka careening downward like the opening credits of Kingdom Hearts, though it’s not quite simple or clean. She is thrown backward into a flashback of the Clone Wars, with Ahsoka once again inhabiting her younger self (Ariana Greenblatt) — though the foggy, poorly lit sequence offers a mere facsimile of the emotional tension and writing that the animated series once offered. Star Wars used to be vibrant and alive, but these flashbacks depict none of that by trading practical sets and unique locations for the murkiness of a fog-filled soundstage.
