While largely ignored in the live action sphere until the most recent Disney+ adventures, The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated TV shows in particularly delved into perhaps one of the most compelling and complex padawan/master relationships this galaxy has ever known.

With Jedi-in-training Ahsoka Tano largely taking residence under Anakin Skywalker's learning tree over the course of said Clone Wars show, her eventual loss of faith in the Jedi would act as a not-so-subtle dose of foreshadowing for her master's eventual decision to turn his back on the Order, too.

But far from simply never coming into contact again in the days following on from Skywalker's descent into the Dark Side, the aforementioned Rebels series would depict yet another exchange between the two... and a more violent one at that.

Leaving Vader with a battered mask before their battlefield disintegrated around them, it remains to be seen whether this highly emotional animated history will be revisit or alluded to further in the coming Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka series.

But with The Mandalorian director Bryce Dallas Howard already admitting that fans of the animated shows will be "greatly rewarded" by the latter of those incoming entries, the safe money would be on Snips and Sky-Guy finally getting the live action treatment we've been waiting for.
