Ahsoka might need simply proved Palpatine proper, and we’re shocked

We’re a bit on the fence about Ahsoka at this level. A few of it’s Star Wars at its finest however, as with so lots of the Star Wars sequence we’ve seen on Disney Plus up to now, it’s frustratingly inconsistent. This week, for instance, was spent reminding folks about Anakin Skywalker. There are spoilers for the newest installment forward.

However there’s one factor Palpatine completely bought fallacious: it’s the sunshine aspect of the Pressure that offers Anakin this skill, not the darkish energy of Darth Vader.
