Does this show explain her absence from the prequel movies?
shareseason 7 leads into what ahsoka is doing during the film. she returns to work with the jedi. there are fanedits over 4 hours long of rots out there that incorporate the footage.
shareThis is one of several reasons I just can't get into this show. Anakin CLEARLY never had an apprentice. It just doesn't work.
shareActually, I can totally believe he had an apprentice, and that the experience of mentoring didn't have real any effect on his emotional maturity. Or lack of it.
Come to think of it, one of the flaws in the show is that there are too many moments of Anakin being a good mentor. There should have been more of him being a bad mentor, which would have been a great leadup to Asokha getting into serious trouble and getting no support from the Jedi Masters.
From what I have seen of the show, he doesn't even come off as the same character. He seems older and much more stable. Certainly not a bratty psychopath.
Anakin was not granted the rank of master. It pissed him off. But despite not being a master he had an apprentice who left the order and it didn't bother him (that we can see in the movies)? No, sorry. Don't buy it.
We don't know if a Jedi has to hold the rank of "master" to have an apprentice, in fact, in "Phantom Menace" it's implied that it's not a requirement. If young Obi-Wan gets an apprentice right after graduating from padawan to knight, then it's highly unlikely he's a master already, but there he is with his own little sidekick.
But yeah, for the run of the show, Anakin seems wiser and more stable than he should. I mean, it's logical to assume that he matured a little and we aren't seeing him at the kind of peak emotional stress that eventually broke him, but there should have been more of his dark side on display. And we really should have seen it affect Asokha and her relationship with the other Jedi.
I meant that they didn't trust him or have enough faith in his abilities to promote him, but they trusted him with molding someone's life and career? Then she leaves the order and no one so much as mentions her in Revenge of the Sith? That's a no from me.
shareI can believe that they wouldn't mention her in "Revenge of the Sith", everyone in that movie was very much concerned with what was happening in the present and what would happen in the future, and at no time did they ever sit down and go over all the reasons that Anakin wasn't being promoted. If they had, they might have mentioned that he hadn't succeeded in training a Jedi. But there was very little talk about the past, beyond Obi-Wan saying he'd loved Anakin like a brother.
But again, the show should have had more moments of Anakin being a poor Jedi mentor, telling her to give into feelings or to do what was expedient rather than what was right, whatever. Although having her leave the Jedi because the Jedi Order sucked wasn't all bad, I have my own issues with the Jedi as they were shown in the prequels.
Oh, Anakin never had an apprentice, Never fought Dooku between Episodes II and III either. They just say this show is canon to appease its fans.
