Baylan: Your family died on Mandalore because your Master didn’t trust you.

Rebels Fans: I’m sorry WHAT

Filoni:

EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF THIS WAS SUCH A FUCKING BANGER. Baylan Skoll is reading exactly what Ahsoka fears and sets up this vision for her, that he says her legacy is one of death and destruction--which hurls her into a vision-slash-flashback of the clone wars, where she felt like this is all she learned as a Jedi, because this is what the galaxy was when she was growing up in it. That this is Anakin--or Ahsoka's own mind using Anakin as a proxy, because she STILL emotionally and mentally sees him as the one who teaches her, even if it's not really him, she imagines it to be him, because he's her Master, the one who taught her what she needs to know--but also this is the center of everything she can't let go of, all the hurt and fear and loss, it's all tangled up in Anakin and what he became. That she loves him and fears him in the same breath, that she remembers the good, the charming young man who was teaching her how to survive, who gave everything he had to her, while also remembering what he became, that he was so powerful that he became the worst nightmare the galaxy had ever seen, that neither of these is the whole of who he is, that he is all of this and more. He isn't just Anakin Skywalker, he's also Darth Vader. He isn't just Darth Vader, he's also Anakin Skywalker. He isn't just Anakin and Vader, he's also everything of Obi-Wan, of Qui-Gon, of Dooku, of Yoda--and she has to learn to accept that the same is true of her, too. The potential for tremendous darkness lurks in all their hearts, that's what the Jedi teach. No one is above the dark side. No one is above fear and clinging on and holding too tight. It's a lifelong journey not to give in to those things and you are so much more than just any one moment or even any one aspect. Yes, if she's everything he is, then she does have the potential to become the same kind of nightmare of death and destruction that he did, just as she fears. It's why she's held herself back from the galaxy, from the Ghost crew, from Sabine especially, because she's afraid, and only agreed to train Sabine in the first place because whatever abilities she has, they're so low Sabine can't become another Vader. Grogu does have the potential to become another Vader. Ahsoka does have the potential to become another Vader. She has killed many and destroyed so much. But that's not all she is. She's also saved so many lives. She also gently tucked Roo Roo Page back into her mother's arms. She also taught Petro and Katooni and Gungi and Zatt and Byph about how to get their crystals. She also saved Kaeden's life. She also protected Ezra from Vader. She's all those things, plus more, just as Anakin was all the things he was and more, too. Baylan was right that part of her legacy is death and destruction, but he's a dark sider, he lies and twists the truth, and the truth is--Ahsoka Tano, like every Jedi before her, is more than just one part of her legacy.

Presumably Baylan has absolutely zero clue that Ahsoka is very familiar with the Mortis Gods. Like, can you imagine him mentioning he’s searching for them or at least something associated with them, and Ahsoka is all “oh yeahhh I remember meeting them. Bad trip. Pretty weird people, lots of issues. The Son literally killed me and now I possess the life force of the Daughter. Her owl pops in from time to time.” And Baylan is like “. . . you what.”

We see one final shot of Baylan, staring at a light in the distance and standing amidst giant, crumbling statues. The statues themselves are in disrepair, but they seem to be depicting the Mortis gods, a.k.a. the Ones — three ancient beings with deep connections to the Force. On the right, we can see a statue of the Son, who has aligned himself with the Dark Side. On the left, an almost destroyed statue of the Daughter, who represented the Light Side. And Baylan is seen standing on the outstretched hand of the Father, who found balance between the two sides of the Force.

whoever docked the chimera deserves a fucking award

It's ironic how Ahsoka was intent on following the no-attachment-rule like,"that shit messed up Anakin, I'm not gonna let that happen to me" kinda thing; and be all "it's better to be alone, nobody can hurt you/you can't hurt anybody" and established the Ahsoka the White/hermit-in-the-woods vibe.

But when Ahsoka and Sabine were in Seatos, they dueled Baylan and Shin respectively. And when Shin returned to the stonehenge like thingy alone, Ahsoka assumed the worst and totally went all Anakin mode on them. She shoved Shin to a monolith hard enough to make her pass out and kicked Baylan in the balls.

Like, You bitches killed my padawan, prepare to die!

I mean if that's not peak disaster lineage energy, I don't know what is. Anakin would be so proud.
