I feel like it’s interesting how Ahsoka doesn’t say “the council didn’t trust me I hate them that’s why I’m leaving” she said “the council didn’t trust me so how can I trust myself”

Like… I don’t think the writers meant anything by it. This is clearly an anti-jedi arc, which is why I hate rewatching it bc there’s literally no reason for the jedi hate like ??

But I think it’s interesting. It could be interpreted differently than how most people view ahsoka’s leaving.

I’ve always kinda thought ahsoka left because she was struggling with the dark side and was too angry with the order (irrationally, in my humble opinion, but clearly angry) to think clearly. So she made the mature decision to remove herself from the equation to figure it out.

I think there’s a lot of canon evidence to support that. Like how she says at the end that she needs to figure things out on her own. She never says she hates the council or doesn’t believe in the war effort or whatever whatever.

But that line about not trusting herself, I completely forgot about it. She doesn’t even sound angry at the council here. She’s almost agreeing with them. She saw herself as invulnerable because she was a jedi. Of course she didn’t do these things she’s a Jedi they KNOW her. But then the guilty party turns out to be Barriss.

She sees herself in Barriss. If it’s Barriss, it could have just as easily been her. The council was right not to trust her with all the evidence against her. And seeing yourself as immune to the dark side probably isn’t healthy.

Idk, I’m sure this isn’t what the writers necessarily meant by that line. Like I’m sure they didn’t write that line with the underlying meaning of “ahsoka is agreeing with the council’s decision and realizing she is not invulnerable to the dark side” but I this it’s a cool way to interpret it.
