'He made plenty of mistakes, but his Ahsoka wasn't one of them": Ahsoka's survival explained through Anakin's unconventional training methods

In the stunning Star Wars universe, one relationship that has captured hearts and minds is that of Jedi padawan Ahsoka Tano and her master Anakin Skywalker. The bond between this mentor and apprentice has given fans endless moments to cheer, ponder, and sometimes, even shed a tear. As reported by Collider, "Tales of the Jedi Episode 5: Practice Makes Perfect" sheds light on this fascinating connection, illuminating facets that fans may not have previously seen.

Ahsoka, a Jedi of great skill, impresses everyone in the room with her perfect test completion. Everyone, that is, except her master Anakin. "Despite her excitement to see Anakin there, he doesn't congratulate her on her work." His discontent stems not from her performance but from a broader disillusionment with the Jedi training system. This dissatisfaction foreshadows his own turn against the Jedi, a somber reminder of events yet to come.

Anakin's alternative training, involving the clones of the 501st Legion shooting stun blasters at Ahsoka, is harsh and demanding. This brutality, however, is his twisted expression of love and protection. "The best way he can protect her is by teaching her to protect herself," he argues. This "barbaric" method forges Ahsoka into a resilient and adaptive warrior, one who can hold off anything on the battlefield.

During Order 66, it's Anakin's unconventional training that gives Ahsoka the edge to survive against impossible odds. "Ahsoka lives to fight another day because she is prepared for anything on the battlefield, including her friends." This tale of triumph against adversity underpins the narrative of Ahsoka's namesake series soon to come on Disney+.

Without Anakin's arduous training methods, Ahsoka may never have survived Order 66 and the events beyond. His dedication, combined with Ahsoka's determination and competitive spirit, shaped her into the enduring character we love today.

As for Anakin, "he made plenty of mistakes, but his Ahsoka wasn't one of them." His training not only made her a better fighter but prepared her for the impossible, a legacy that resonates deeply with fans and contributes to the rich tapestry of the Star Wars saga.
