Timeframe: During The Clone Wars
Anakin teaches a frustrated Ahsoka to fight with two lightsabers. Yoda intervenes, deals with the young Jedi and teaches her a valuable lesson.
Tropes:
- Be Yourself: Ahsoka learns the key to mastering dual-wielding: she must fight like herself and not in any other way.
- Call-Back: After years of being a Noodle Incident, we're finally learning how Ahsoka got around to dual-wielding, albeit perhaps not how she got her shoto.
- Call-Forward:
- Yoda encourages Ahsoka to create new moves with her two lightsabers. Her new move is deflecting a blade from behind, just as she will in Rebels when Vader tries to strike her down from the back as she stalls so Kanan and Ezra can escape Malachor.
- Possibly a stretch, but a shot of Ahsoka and Anakin in a blade-lock seems framed similarly to a shot in Rebels where Vader presses down Ahsoka while blade-locking.
- Continuity Nod: The Jedi training dojo appears as it did in the Kanan comic and Rebels television series.
- Facepalm: Anakin does this when Ahsoka forgets to bow, and when she falls during her battle with Master Yoda.
- Reverse Grip: Ahsoka starts out holding her blades the normal way, but when Yoda tells her to fight like herself, she switches to this and does much better.
