10 Most Underrated Scenes In Star Wars

4. Ahsoka’s Moment Of Tranquillity

Shadow Warrior, the fifth episode of Ahsoka’s first season, is one of the very best - if not the best - slices of Star Wars TV we’ve had so far, with this being the episode that finds the Togruta Jedi reconnecting with Anakin Skywalker as we get plenty of stunning flashbacks taking from the Clone Wars and beyond.

Somewhat lost in the shuffle, though, is a rare moment of tranquillity in an episode dominated by heavy action and heavy emotion.

Having made it out of the World Between Worlds and found peace with herself and her relationship with Anakin, Ahsoka has a hunch that might just lead to Ezra and Sabine - a hunch that essentially involves hitching a lift with a purrgil.

To set this up, there’s a beautiful sequence up in the clear blue skies as Ahsoka and Huyang find themselves amongst a fleet of purrgils. Compared to the dark, bleak colour palette of so much of the rest of the episode, this is an entirely different vibe as Tano stands on one of the wings of her T-6 1974 and prepares to communicate with a particularly giant purrgil and score herself a ride.
