Yeah, it was the best fight thus far, but I do think it made me suspend disbelief a little - she still looked noticeably overmatched when you just look at the respective abilities and it just took her being defensive the entire time to make it look even semi even.
Not sure how they made Anakin look that dynamic but I still think they do Ahsoka a disservice in how they're mapping out her fights.

I need to rewatch the fight, but I think, especially early on it was purposeful. Remember she said "I won't fight you." So it makes sense she was defensive. It wasn't until after the flashback, after he disarmed her, that she got mad. And I will say when she yoinked his lightsaber and held it at his neck, I was like GODDAMN.
So I think there is an argument to be made that she was just blocking his attacks and it wasn't until she lost her weapons and he was going to kill her that she entered the fight in earnest.
And I probably wasn't clear, I really appreciate the story arc. Her needing to accept her place in life rather than trying to compartmentalize Anakin away, as well as the relationship to and responsibility for the padawans. I won't lie, I was pretty eye-rolly with her scenes with Sabine, but I appreciate it much more now, and I'm excited to get them back together. It needed patience, but as of today, I'm happy. |
