Feels like a reach. There's nothing in the series to indicate that Ahsoka has feelings for Anakin. She even canonically calls him a brother later.

** With ''Series/TheMandalorian'' revealing Jango to be a Mandalorian Foundling, was Almec simply unaware of Jango's status? Or did he know and lied about it either out of political convenience or out of snooty elitism towards Foundlings? The latter interpretation would be befitting the canon's depiction of [[NoTrueScotsman some Mandalorians feeling more deserving of the label over others]] given their infighting over their cultural identity.

* Did Savage Opress become evil of his own free will? Or are his evil actions the product of the Nightsisters' brainwashing? Or some combination of the two? [[spoiler:Savage's death scene in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E16TheLawless The Lawless]]" only serves to further muddy the issue since it has him reverting back into his pre-DarkSide self]].

** In a similar vein, [[spoiler:her mourning for one of the Jedi who were killed in the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar. Was she merely acting? Or was she showing some [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone genuine remorse for carrying out the bombing?]] Likewise, was her conversation with Ahsoka after the memorial service [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation?]] Or was she having doubts about her choices? The look of sorrow and guilt on her face as Ahsoka walks away suggests the latter, but her later actions imply the former. In the end, it's most likely both as Barriss was actively manipulating Ahsoka, but she still felt remorseful about having to do it, which is reinforced by the sad look she gives Ahsoka after being exposed and arrested towards the end of the story arc]].

* Crosshair saying Echo was "another reg" in the finished version of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E2ADistantEcho A Distant Echo]]". Was he really displaying a lack of sympathy towards Echo and treating him as an inconsequential ExpendableClone, or was he being coldly facetious towards Rex given TheReasonYouSuckSpeech he gave for leaving Echo behind in the first place and needlessly leading everyone else into a potential trap to absolve Rex of his own SurvivorGuilt? Further muddying the waters is that in the original animatic (where Crosshair and Hunter brought up the idea that Echo might have betrayed them), the statement that gets Crosshair punched is that he wouldn't remain loyal if he was left for dead like Echo was either, which hints at a bit of sympathy towards Echo's potential mistreatment by the Republic. Additionally, in both the animatic and finished version of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E3OnTheWingsOfKeeradaks On the Wings of Keeradaks]]", Echo is shown to have earned some respect from Crosshair while defending the Poletec village.

** It could also be that pulling a Chuundar and allowing himself to be cloned for a slave army using Mandalorian training methods, thus perverting his culture's traditions for profit and making slaves of most of his sons, would have at least a few of his brethren disgusted enough to land Jango in dar'manda territory.

** It could also be that pulling a Chuundar and allowing himself to be cloned for a slave army using Mandalorian training methods, thus perverting his culture's traditions for profit and making slaves of most of his sons, would have at least a few of his brethren disgusted enough to land Jango in dar'manda territory.
** It doesn't hurt that Almec proves himself in later appearances to be a deceptive SmugSnake with no qualms about lying to suit his agenda, making his claim (which flies in the face of Jango still canonically being from the Mandalorian world of Concord Dawn) even more suspect.
* Did Savage Opress become evil of his own free will? Or are his evil actions the product of the Nightsisters' brainwashing? Or some combination of the two? [[spoiler:Savage's death scene in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E16TheLawless The Lawless]]" only serves to further muddy the issue since it has him reverting back into his pre-DarkSide self]].
* Is Darth Maul a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds who acts the way he does because of all of the hardships that he has endured throughout his life and, for all of his evil, genuinely cares about his brother Savage Opress? Or is he an utterly unsympathetic villain whose obsession with Obi-Wan has turned him into a revenge-fueled psychopath that treats Savage (who he began referring to solely as "apprentice") as a minion and an investment? There are arguments that can be made for both interpretations. Maul's reaction to [[spoiler:Savage's death]] shows that [[spoiler:he did truly care about his brother, albeit in a cold and detached JerkWithAHeartOfGold sort of way]].
* Was [[spoiler:99's SenselessSacrifice a genuine moment of him being out of his depth and desperate to help, [[DeathSeeker an attempt to die a soldier since he knew he'd likely never get another chance]], or an attempt to [[TogetherInDeath be reunited with his friend Hevy?]]]]
* When Darth Maul begs Sidious to have mercy, was he begging for his life or a quick death (since Sidious is the sadistic type)?
* [[spoiler:Barriss Offee]] has been subjected to multiple character interpretations by fans as a result of the events that occurred during the Fugitive arc in season five:
** [[spoiler:Is Barriss a misguided but genuinely WellIntentionedExtremist who is [[TheExtremistWasRight ultimately proven right about her views on the Jedi and their role in the galaxy?]] Or is she a hypocritical, self-righteous KnightTemplar who is in denial of her own turn to the DarkSide? Again, arguments have been made for both interpretations]].
** In a similar vein, [[spoiler:her mourning for one of the Jedi who were killed in the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar. Was she merely acting? Or was she showing some [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone genuine remorse for carrying out the bombing?]] Likewise, was her conversation with Ahsoka after the memorial service [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation?]] Or was she having doubts about her choices?

In the end, it's most likely both as Barriss was actively manipulating Ahsoka, but she still felt remorseful about having to do it, which is reinforced by the sad look she gives Ahsoka after being exposed and arrested towards the end of the story arc]].
** [[spoiler:Her comment that she feels Ventress' lightsabers suit her muddies the waters even more. Only Sith use red lightsabers after all]].
* [[spoiler:Ahsoka's decision to leave the Jedi Order. Did Ahsoka leave the Jedi Order because she realized that Barriss had a point about the growing corruption of Order's values and morals? Or was she simply too hurt by the way she had been betrayed by Barriss and being mistrusted by the Council?]]
** [[spoiler:Also, when Anakin says he understands the desire to leave the Jedi Order and it's implied (and confirmed by WordOfGod) that she knows about him and Padmé. [[StudentTeacherRomance Did Ahsoka walk away at that moment because she has always had feelings for Anakin]] [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy and she didn't want to confront the subject]]?]]
* Is [[spoiler:Anakin letting Rush Clovis fall to his death in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E7CrisisAtTheHeart Crisis at the Heart]]" a simple case of ForgotAboutHisPowers? Or does he ''let'' Clovis fall?]]
* A comment made by [[spoiler:a Dark Side shadow of Yoda]] implies that [[spoiler:Yoda]] may have experimented with the Dark Side in the past.
--->'''[[spoiler:Dark Yoda:]]''' [[spoiler:Yoda plays not with me anymore. Yoda thinks me not worthy]].
* Crosshair saying Echo was "another reg" in the finished version of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E2ADistantEcho A Distant Echo]]". Was he really displaying a lack of sympathy towards Echo and treating him as an inconsequential ExpendableClone, or was he being coldly facetious towards Rex given TheReasonYouSuckSpeech he gave for leaving Echo behind in the first place and needlessly leading everyone else into a potential trap to absolve Rex of his own SurvivorGuilt?
