Star Wars: 20 Things You Somehow Missed In Ahsoka (Season 1)

17. The Reference To Vader's Fight With His Son

Before Ahsoka Tano clashes with her old master in the World Between Worlds during "Part Five: Shadow Warrior", 'Snips' tells Anakin Skywalker that she will not fight him.

The Star Wars icon replies by letting his padawan know that he's heard that before.

And he's not lying. His own flesh and blood Luke Skywalker said something similar as the two duelled in front of Emperor Palpatine on the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi.

Jumping back to an earlier point in the timeline, this line also brings back memories of Tano herself telling the then-Darth Vader that she "won't leave you" when the two fought on Malachor in the Rebels animated series.

With just one simple comment, years of emotional history came flooding back for those who caught it. And that wasn't the only interesting and easily missed moment during this epic collision.
