As the lead guest star of this episode might say impressive….most impressive. Shadow Warrior, the fifth episode of the debut season of Ahsoka has been chosen as the second best TV episode of 2023 according to Entertainment Weekly, a list which includes a trio of episodes featuring the actor behind Huyang David Tennant (‘Doctor Who’ — ‘The Star Beast’ is seventh and ‘Good Omens’ — ‘Every Day’ is eighth) and Pedro Pascal in twelfth (‘The Last of Us’ — ‘Long, Long Time’).
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
