Finally a great episode.
First 3 episodes were like the next season of Rebels except with wooden dialogue and acting. But Episode 4 was great.
Excited to see the conversation between Ahsoka and
Spoiler:.
Light side/Jedi Anakin

Baylan is easily the best new character we've gotten in Disney canon. Nuff said.
Hes a very good Villain.

Also great ðŸ‘
Well, for all the hype, this episode was pretty disappointing.
Just pure fanservice and Filoniwank. Anakin flashing between himself and Vader was cool, but other then that it all felt every underused and irrelevant. His "lesson" was completely nonsensical. The Clone Wars stuff felt very tacked on for no real reason.
But I'm sure many of the fans will love it because it's a memberberry pie.
Oh, and Ahoksa without her headband looks awful.
Gobble up your memberberries.
As I said, the entire WBW shit was pure nonsense and nothing but fanservice. It mistakes obscurity with profoundness. The entire "lesson" seemed to be that Ahsoka should not let Anakin's legacy dictate her actions but to LIVE as her own person but this is all very poorly conveyed. This "conflict" that Ahsoka was apparently having was never alluded to other than Baylan throwing out one random line last episode and I guess because she was only using one lightsaber or something. Just incredibly sloppy and amateurish writing.
But who care about the most basic rules of writing like setup and payoff. We got Anakin and Clone Wars! And WOOOOWWWW! Is that a Death Watch member!? AT-RT! AT-RT!
Episode 5 was very emotional and beautiful, Anakin and Ahsoka interacting in the WbW was so moving. I hope we get to see more from Hayden in the show. Truly one of the most impactful episodes ever released in a Disney tv series. I’ll likely rewatched some scenes several times. Anakin turning into Vader was done so well

Anakin literally disarmed her lmao
Sounds like a bunch of copium. Lol. She won. Sure she got disarmed. Happens all the time in star wars, doesn't mean she lost. She got disarmed, recovered, and disarmed Anakin and had him at her mercy.
Argue all you want, but what they portrayed was Aksoka being on the same level or better than Anakin. It is what it is. Sure, maybe he wasn't trying, maybe he let her win, but it's all speculation. Are you really going to claim that they wouldn't go the whole "I had to go all out to pressure you into learning your lesson" trope? Especially with Filoni writing for his own creation? Sure, that trope is all speculation as well, but it's just as valid as saying Anakin let her win.
Face it, Disney has not been kind to live action Anakin/Vader.

I don't think it's a good example of evidence on who'd win a fight.
I don't disagree, but it's still another embarrassing showing for Anakin, just like getting stomped by Obi. It's starting to kinda detract from Vader's menace and aura of power. Hell, in Jedi survivor Vader almost lost to the Jedi from Mad TV made for that game specifically. Legit, it couldn't gave been more close.
Anakin/Vader needs to come off as more powerful than he has recently been portrayed, otherwise he starts to lose his mystique.
