Ahsoka’s ‘he was a good master’ in the latest episode was heartbreaking.
To me, it sounded as if she was trying to convince herself of it.
Especially in the context of that earlier episode. Getting to see (in live-action) the reality of a child being trained by slightly older child.
(he was nineteen!! she was fourteen!!)
Ahsoka was not ready. Anakin was not ready.
He was trying his best. But it was war and he had to raise her on a fucking battlefield.
He was a good master, she tries to convince herself. But he was training me to be a weapon instead of a warrior.
(my part of that legacy is one of death and war)
Imagine how conflicted Ahsoka’s memory of Anakin must be as well by now.
Idolising him as a child, breaking with the jedi but still holding his memory&legacy in such high esteem for years (whilst also growing more and more disillusioned with your childhood) and then discovering he’s Darth Vader.
Living with that horror for years, trying to come to terms with it as you witness his destruction. Knowing that’s your Skyguy.
And finally seeing him once again, in the world between worlds. Yourself stuck between life and death; childhood and adulthood. Seeing him as you saw him, and again as everyone else had to.
Knowing that’s the boy that tried so hard for you, kept you alive, and yet also having to reconcile that knowledge with the truth.
He was a good master, she tries to convince herself. To convince others. But he was not, in the end, a good man.
(you are more, Anakin; but more powerful and dangerous than anyone realised.)

Unofficial Ray girlfriends are cute as hell so now fun redesigns! Instead of love interests, they’re other thingamagigs created by Betilla’s sisters, so they’re Ray cousins!
Simonhe is both the life of the party and terrified of big, uncontrollable crowds. She uses her bardic gifts to keep hordes far, far away from her and her friends
Raynette is chilly and sassy, and maybe a bit neurotic. While scary, she’s also precise and serious about safety, as precise as her barber tools

would i be me if i didn't lose my mind over name dynamics. because do you know what this older, post-vader anakin calling ahsoka snips did to me as a person.
he hasn't done that since she was expelled from the jedi order. since everything changed for them.
and here, three decades later, walking a line between life and death, he greets her with a face she'll know immediately and a name he gave her on the first day they met. nobody speak to me for at least three days.
