So I’m not sure what the episode number was, but I’m watching Clone Wars and last night was watching the Onderon rebellion plot in s5. Ahsoka is clearly having some big feelings about Lux and Steela and the Jedi are about to leave the planet and wanna put her in charge of overseeing/protecting the rebels. And Ahsoka is looking very 😐 and Anakin just goes “do you wanna stay here or go back to Coruscant, Snips?” And like that was so sweet??? It almost made me 🥹? Cuz the order needed more masters concerned about their padawans like that? And when she’s having her feelings and he later tells her he understands, that’s so validating instead of just skipping straight to “bury your feelings” (lookin at you, Obi Wan)? Like that was so emotionally mature and pre-dark side anakin is such a good person in an order that can be very extremist even though they think they’re not and so isolating and lonely and fucked up and very bad about systemically using people and then discarding them, then hiding behind the “oh it’s the Jedi way/will of the force”??? Like he and Ahsoka didn’t deserve to get treated the way they were at all???

The writers of Star Wars The Clone Wars knew damned well what they were doing when they had Obi-Wan have a forbidden love with a woman named Satine only to have her die in his arms.

poor Savage, he was the only reasonable person in all of Star Wars, all he wanted was a healthy family, his life was robbed by people wanting to use him to take revenge on others, he paid for their mistakes with his life.
misfortune chases the men of Dathomir, and all other second class citizens of the galaxy, Star Wars' third world

Rand al'Thor and Anakin Skywalker Parallels
Okay, I said I was gonna do this so let's go. Warning: this is full series spoilers for Wheel of Time so if you do watch the show and don't want Rand's arc spoiled, look away!
First thing's first, they're both the Chosen Ones of their perspective stories. Anakin being called the Chosen One, Rand with the titles the Dragon Reborn, He Who Comes With the Dawn, Car'a'carn, and Coramoor (all Chosen One in all those cultures)
Prophecies foretell that Anakin will bring balance to the Force (though afaik they're pretty vague on how he's supposed to accomplish this). The prophecies regarding Rand are complicated and unending and too much for this one post but the gist of it is that he will both save and destroy the world.
Anakin was born of Shmi Skywalker but has no father (the Force made him possible). Rand was born to Tigraine Mantear former Daughter-Heir to Andor and Janduin, clan chief of the Taardad Aiel. Tigraine was a Maiden of the Spear sworn to take no husband so that's where the Maiden birth fits in here.
Trauma is an ongoing theme here as neither of them can seem to catch a break. Anakin was enslaved as a child, loses his mother, is tortured a numerous amount of times (I've lost count the amount of times he's electrocuted in Clone Wars), and loses many soldiers under his command as well as the enormous pressure of being the Chosen One. He is constantly being told to suppress his emotions as anger will only lead to the Dark Side however he is never given the space or even any idea how to process his trauma. He loses Ahsoka due to her being kicked out of the Jedi Order due to the Jedi's own mistakes. Even after she is exonerated and very rightly leaves the Order, he's expected to keep his emotions under control and pretend everything is fine with this entire situation. Sidious groomed him for the Dark Side from a young age and ultimately ended up weaponizing his trauma.
Rand had a relatively normal childhood until Winternight when everything went to hell. Trollocs attack his village and he finds out he's adopted leading to the first of many identity crises. He's forced to leave the only home he's ever known and leave his adopted father behind who means everything to him. He and his friends are pursued across the world by Shadowspawn and Darkfriends who mean to turn him over to the Dark One, he's repeatedly tortured in his dreams every night by Ba'alzamon, and by the end of EoTW he discovers he can channel, which in this world means he's doomed to go insane the more he uses this magic.
He finds out he's the Dragon Reborn and the pressure of that adds onto his ongoing trauma of being pursued by Forsaken, being used and abused over and over and over again by people who are supposed to help and protect him, having the voice of his previous life in his head, losing people under his command and he blames himself for every last one. Everyone around him gaslights him into believing his trauma isn't real and that his very real PTSD symptoms are a result of him using the corrupted side of the magic system.
Rand suppresses his emotions as a coping mechanism and outwardly presents a mask that he feels nothing. These emotions he is not allowing himself to feel otherwise he would not be able to function he is funneling over to the voice of his previous life as Lews Therin. We as the reader experience his true emotions via Lews Therin. And I can't end this without mentioning when a group of Aes Sedai kidnap him and force him in a box to take him to the Tower, only to take him out to beat him with the Power, an extended torture that takes place for two weeks.
Both have lost a hand. Anakin lost a hand when Count Dooku cut if off with his lightsaber in Attack of the Clones. Rand lost a hand when Semirhage burned it off by channeling a fireball at him in Knife of Dreams.
Both of their falls I think are incredibly similar. Anakin kneels to Sidious begging him that he'll do anything just help him save Padme. In the Gathering Storm, Rand kneels to Semirhage and begs her that he'll do anything, just stop hurting Min. These end differently as Anakin ends up swearing to Sidious and becoming Darth Vader. Semirhage refuses to stop hurting Min, so Rand breaks the one line he won't cross and kills her with Balefire, but not without briefly channeling the True Power to escape his bonds; a Power only those sworn to the Shadow can wield.
After his fall, Anakin kills the younglings. For Rand an equivalent would be Natrin's Barrow, where he balefires an entire city out of existence just to get at the Forsaken Graendal.
As far as their return to the light goes, both is accomplished by a family member. Anakin is brought back by his son Luke. In Rand's case, it's his father Tam.
The Jedi and the Aes Sedai both have significant roles in both their arcs which includes losing trust in them after a certain point. They're both orders of magic users that did good in the world at one point in time but at some point lost their way or became corrupted.
The Jedi become majorly involved in the Clone Wars despite their vow of being peace keepers. They're aware of the origin of their clone army by the end of season 6, yet they decide to do nothing. Ahsoka being kicked out of the Jedi Order is Anakin's last straw. She's invited back in, and yet the Jedi refuse to change despite recognizing that they did Ahsoka wrong.
The Aes Sedai get involved in things that further their own ends or "Control the world with puppet strings" as some put it rather than their purpose of being "Servants of All". They deny the existence of the Black Ajah and pretend they haven't infiltrated their ranks. A faction of Aes Sedai kidnapped and tortured Rand for two weeks and the rest of the Aes Sedai refused to hold them accountable.
Both Anakin and Rand are Chosen Ones who cracked under the pressure and experienced persistent trauma.
I'm gonna end with a quote by Rand that seems pertinent to both of them.
"My life isn't my own. I'm a puppet for the Pattern and the prophecies, made to dance for the world before having my strings cut." -Rand al'Thor, The Gathering Storm

I’m going to talk about the clone wars final for a bit cus it’s all I’ve been able to think about
The way you go into episode 11 with this intense tension. You feel how at any moment that order is going to go down and Ahsoka is going to be surrounded. How she just missed Anakin on the way to his down fall.
How when Rex’s chip activates, in those split seconds he’s putting it all together. He’s putting together what Fives uncovered and realizing what is happening to him and his brothers. Not only that but the reveal he put in a report about what Fives had discovered, even though he knew it was going to fall on deaf ears, showing that he truly listened to what Fives was trying to warn them about and that he cared about not letting his brother’s dead be in vain.
Rex having his most bleak and gut wrecking line about what difference does it make of they kill the clones or not, they’re already gone and there’s no getting them back.
Ahsoka being firm in not killing them because yes they’re going to die. The ship is going down and we can’t stop that. But I won’t be the one to kill them. They’re my friends and I won’t be the one to put them down. I owe them that.
Ahsoka lifted Rex’s helmet to show that he’s been crying.
The way Jesse talks near robotically about their orders and how Ashoka and Rex are traitors.
Ahsoka and Rex not only building a memorial for the clones, but burying their bodies as well. That shows just the strongest compassion from the two of them. They’re officially traitors of the empire, they just survived a starship crash, they’re on the run, but they took the time to bury who they could find. To display their helmets. They made a grave for their friends and brothers because they knew no one else would. And that they deserved to rest in peace and to have some respect in death with their corpses not being left in the wreckage
And Ahsoka leaving her lightsabers at the grave because a part of her is dying with them. The lightsabers that Anakin had returned to her, the lightsabers she used to fight this war, the lightsabers she had as a Jedi of the republic. All of that is gone, everything she stood for with those lightsabers was a sham. So they’re left to rest with the clones.
Bro what the fuck.

When Cody defects from the Empire, it's almost debilitating.
In his years as a clone, he never thought of abandoning his post, abandoning his brothers, but he couldn't take it anymore.
The Empire was a lie, and something that he himself had a hand in to make it a plague across the systems. He thought he had been doing what was right, but after Order 66 occurred, the nightmares never left. Flashes of Obi-Wan, his confident leadership and calming advice tortured Cody the more the Empire pressed into "enforcing" peace. Seeing Crosshair, who Cody could see was already questioning himself, gun down an innocent?
He pushed himself every day to keep going, to keep pressing himself to help those he could as he ran. Cody was no fool, most "dissidents" were murdered, and if he was going to try and help his brothers, he needed to live that one more day. Seeing the small people, the ones they helped only a short time ago, suffering from malnutrition and oppression crushed his spirit, but even if they pushed him away, Cody still gave what little he had.
It seems the universe finally showed him pity, as one night the small place on a random planet he called home was rattled by a landing ship.
They had come for him.
Cody wasn't afraid to die, no, war had taken any of his fears a long time ago. Yet, as he pressed to stay in the dark as flashlights pierced around him, Cody wished he wouldn't die on some desolate rock, alone.
"Hey there brother."
Cody smiles, for the first time in so long, and takes the hand outstretched for him.

Those episodes of clone wars where anakin Ahsoka and Obi-Wan are stuck on that weird ass spirit world type shit planet are cool and all but like- the whole premise of those episodes are that they’re trapped there because the old guy’s two children bring balance to the force together or whatever and can’t be split up but like one of them is a beautiful Galadriel type princess who’s power is beauty grace and being elegant in space and then there’s the motherfucking rat bastard son of a bitch who literally craves violence like yeah ok they’re supposed to be symbolic and parallels to anakin and ahsoka but like- just kill the fucking son

I'm rewatching through clone wars and the mortis episodes (s3e15-17) are still the strangest episodes and most memorable of the lot. It's a full 3 episodes of 3 godlike people pointing at Anakin, saying
Tumblr media
and then killing eachother off while fighting over control of Anakin's fate and brainwashing our heroes a few times. Clone wars got weird.

Bad Batch and TCW Spoilers
Okay, so. Tech.
Tech…
Yeah… Plan 99. Thinking about that. Plan 99. Named after 99. The clone that died for his brothers.
Normally, I think “Tech could have survived!” is a cope. I mean, it definitely is.
But, I mean… Maul survived getting cut in half and falling, then later survived getting cut up again, then force lightning’d, and ragdolled. Even later, he survived getting yeeted off a temple. Jedi regularly dive off of, say, giant Geonosian walls and whatnot. Palpatine’s survival isn’t canon. The entire sequel trilogy is just a fever dream Luke had after eating some bad tacos.
“But Azzy, they’re force users!”
Yes.
Which is why I’m also citing some Clones.
Gregor survived not one, not two, but THREE death sentences (initial battle that left him scarred, the explosion, and getting shot twice by Scorch). Katarn really does hold up. The shield doesn’t hurt.
youtube
Hunter survived his tumble off the prison mountain. Also shot by Cad Bane, but again, armor for a single shot. That’s the point of armor.
youtube
Crosshair got faceblasted by a giant spaceship, survived frostbite, and being tortured. Obligatory Nolan getting clapped video included.
youtube
youtube
Echo literally exploded, and without Katarn armor to help.
youtube
Wrecker just got shot a few times. Again, armor. No biggy there… except, well, for every Clone that got shot in TCW and died in a single shot. See- Fives (RIP)
Rex survived getting shot several times in TCW, and in Rebels (“phase one armor always holds up”). I’d direct you to the assassin droids hitting him on S… Sal… Cut’s planet. I can’t spell that lol. Also the Venator during Order 66. The last time I remember him being shot is against droids in Rebels. He also bopped his head in season 2, truly the most grievous of injuries which allowed him to resist Order 66.
So is Tech dead? Probably, yeah. It definitely made an impact (no pun intended). And if he isn’t, he’s probably not going to be the Tech knew if he’s being experimented on.
Side note-
Scorch, my boy. You’ve got some explaining to do. I hope it’s the inhibitor chip keeping you loyal, considering your dislike of the Empire in legends.
Side-side note-
Dang Scorch, you better at parkour than Spider-Man.
Side-side-side note-
Damn you, Saw Gererra!
