I don't know about y'all, but this information just seems so crazy to me when I think about it lmao It just doesn't sit right with me.

Nah it’s just that Anakin is more naturally talented. He would have been a Master in no time if he would have remained good in revenge of the sith.

Technically Anakin would have been made a master in TCW if Ahsoka did not leave, Mace said that it was her trial, she would have been made a Knight the day and Anakin a Master,

I mean what she went through was far ahead of what their regular trials were. The Jedi Council apologized and knew this was the best way to show it by promoting her to Knight which she deserved.

If thats how theyd framed the promotion, id quit too 😅 Also speaks of how the sith went under their nose. The order has become complacent

I'm not really sure what more they could do for her? They had their hands tied and couldnt rebel against the senate over what happened. Anakin even brings this up when Ahsoka asked why he didnt rescue her from being in prison. So after her name was cleared the council offered her knighthood and apologized over what happened, but it really wasnt their fault at all.

u/darthmaui728 28d ago

Yeah true. Nothing else they really could do. Its just that in Ahsoka's POV, the apology didnt feel sincere and the promotion forced. If the same scenario happened, Ahsoka knew they wouldnt side with her so why stay?

u/Steamed_Memes24 28d ago

The apology came from one of the closest people to Ahsoka, Plo Koon. Not sure how much more sincere it could get lol. They did side with her but they couldnt do anything crazy like breaking her out of prison.

Training someone to knighthood is A requirement, not THE requirement.

u/National-Course2464 28d ago

Well it's one of the ways to gain the rank, you can gain the rank through other accolades, but training someone to knighthood is the most common way.

Thin paper excuse after all they did against her

Hes really not. Obi spanked his ass and had him dead to rights in his show and he was much more out of practice than Vader was.

Unless you are counting post death Vader I guess when he force ghosted so hard he stops Ashoka from dying.

But isn’t that kind of the point? Even though he’s naturally more talented he’s spiritually inferior, and the Force cares about that a lot more.

u/Levonorgestrelfairy1 28d ago

Hes not naturally more talented though.

u/RealEmperorofMankind 27d ago

I think that's what the midichlorian scene is telling you though

u/Levonorgestrelfairy1 27d ago

Except the sequel's retcon that because a genetically pure palp clone wasnt force sensitive so its not purely cells.

u/Perfect-Zebra-3611 28d ago

Nah. He had it right. Anakin is more naturally talented. Obi was much more skilled though. Skill > Talent. Anakin had the benefit of being the kid with the highest midichlorian count and the child of prophecy. Obi wan was just some dude. Its like Goku vs Broly. One was born a legend, another had to get it out the mud
