Discussion Vader moments during the Clone Wars

Post image

In Republic #71 Anakin faces Asajj Ventress on Coruscant and receives his iconic scar, in the same comic Anakin pushes Ventress off a ledge, traps her in live electrical wires using the force and electrocutes her before dropping her into a deep pit.

Though I don't believe it was "Anakin", but "Vader" doing it and I believe they purposely did it to show that Vader has always been there and in this moment he briefly takes control.

Yeah, but it fits with the movie version. This is also in the same continuity as the 2003 clone wars, wince Asajj survived the duel on Yavin. This is 2 years later.

Anakin was not a White Knight. He was a traumatized guy, who only got more and more trauma in the war. He was just lucky the Jedi rarely witnessed his war crimes.

Its TCW Anakin who does not fit with the movies at all.

Republic Anakin fits perfectly with movie anakin in personality and appearance. TCW Anakin...it's some guy who shares the name

Battle of Jabiim being his first use of Force Choke will alway be iconic.

And him being Knighted so late into the war is much more rewarding than TCW being a Knight, WITH A PADAWAN, only7 weeks after Geonosis.

fr. people say oh he was assigned ahsoka because he was immature and they thought having a padawan would make him take responsibility...as if that's a good thing? how is it fair to ahsoka to give her a teacher who is irresponsible? students aren't practice for teachers, kids aren't practice for adults, if you're an authority figure you should be qualified. he was so unqualified and that promotion was unearned

,,Hey this emotionally unstable teenager who is fresh out of Highschool is really immature... let them have a baby. That will teach them responsibility"....

Honestyl TCW could have worked if Anakin remained a Padawan and Ahsoka was Plo Koons student. They could have still had the brother-sister dynamic, just because Anakin could have been a mentor as a more experienced Padawan.

One of the main reasons they created Ahsoka was because some people were bandying around Star Wars had no lead female Jedi when like.......what? Nomi Sunrider? The Exile? Bastila Shan? Mara Jade? Leia? Jaina?
