Dayum this episode was SO GOOD!

  • Great Huyang vs assassin droid fight scene.
  • Great duel between Ahsoka and the Inquisitor (and thank god he wasn't someone significant as the fan theories suggested). The way Ahsoka ended the dude was SATISFYING! I've always found the rotating inquisitor lightsabers quite annoying.
  • Great duel between Sabine and Shin! Loved how she used the mando anti force tricks from Rebels.
  • And ohmygod the duel between Ahsoka and Baylon was magnificent! The way they were sizing each other up in the beginning to the actual fight (which thankfully actually felt like a gritty swordfight) was all amazing.

About the last scene: This is so interesting and weird! Why did Anakin have Vader's Saber? Why did he say "Didn't expect to see you so soon" to Ahsoka? Why was he expecting her? Why did the Imperial March play at the same time? I don't think anyone pulled her in, simply because we don't see anyone near her. I rewatched this part, and confirmed that Anakin appeared later (he wasn't there when she was looking around). I believe that she "became one with the force". Maybe this is what happened to Yoda, Obiwan and Luke when they died? Maybe this is why Anakin showed up with his Vader lightsaber to show how he was "post-Vader Anakin"? Maybe the Imperial March played to signify the villains' victory over Ahsoka? I dunno....

I think the WBW is about to test Ahsoka and so that’s why Anakin is there but there’s a few things wrong. He has the wrong hilt (a clue for Ahsoka) and Vaders theme played (a hint for viewers)

I think she’s going to have to come to terms with the fact that this was Anakins destiny all along and even her staying in the order wouldn’t have saved him.

When she accepts that and accepts that she is not responsible for what he became and what happened she’ll be able to leave the WBW and it’ll likely make her a less apprehensive master to Sabine.
