Entertainment Weekly have named the fifth episode of the Disney+ Ahsoka series, Shadow Warrior, as the second best TV episode of 2023, just beaten by The Afterparty — Travis.
Star Wars has always loved the mystic and ethereal, but the fifth episode of the latest Disney+ series is a mind-bending meld of past and present, following former Jedi warrior Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) as she suffers a near-death experience and wakes up in the Force dimension known as the World Between Worlds. There, she has a long-overdue conversation with her dead former master Anakin Skywalker (a returning Hayden Christensen), reflecting on their traumatic days together in the Clone Wars. (Ariana Greenblatt plays the younger Ahsoka.) It’s an emotional reunion and a thrilling return for Christensen, who gets to show off his acting chops and his lightsaber skills. —Devan Coggan
