Summary. Ahsoka Tano believed Anakin Skywalker was dead after Order 66 because she couldn't sense his presence in the Force anymore. Ahsoka had seen Anakin flirt with the dark side before, but couldn't fathom that he would betray everyone.
At the end of the episode, Sabine says she felt something in the stars, just before this we see Ahsoka looking out in the distance and moments later we see the Force Ghost of Anakin looking over at them.
At first, Ahsoka has no idea that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are one and the same. She discovers the truth in Star Wars Rebels when she encounters the Sith Lord in a space battle. What she senses is so shocking to her that she passes out.
Ahsoka survived Order 66 thanks to Anakin's training and sensed his fall to the dark side, which ultimately led to her confrontation with Darth Vader years later.
Anakin tells Ahsoka she did "a good job," only he wasn't talking about her battle prowess. Rather he was referring to all the ways she chose life when death seemed to be the only (or easiest) option.
EVERYTHING Ahsoka Did To Look For Anakin After Order 66
Did Ahsoka know that Anakin killed Padme?
She certainly knew something. The “I know. More than you realize, I know” line makes that clear, as does the Forces of Destiny short with Anakin, Padme, and Ashoka.
Both Organa and Mothma also wore black clothing. Arriving on Naboo with former Clone Captain CT-7567 "Rex" aboard their BTL-B Y-wing fighter, Skywalker's former Padawan Ahsoka Tano arrived on Naboo to attend the funeral of her friend.
Tales of the Jedi raises an interesting question about Darth Vader's morality and motivations during the rise of the Empire, suggesting he knew of Ahsoka Tano's survival after Order 66 but kept it hidden from the Empire.
Anakin Skywalker's Padawan during the Clone Wars, Ahsoka survived Order 66 and became a key agent in the nascent Rebel Alliance. Ahsoka began to suspect the truth about Darth Vader in Star Wars Rebels season 2, and her worst fears were confirmed when she confronted the Sith Lord in the dramatic finale.
Anakin Skywalker showdown would end in Ahsoka's favor. It is likely that, at the peak of his power, Anakin Skywalker would always have bested his old Padawan.
Anakin's spirit did return to help Ahsoka overcome her past trauma and to make amends with his former Padawan for the terrible things he did as Darth Vader. The last shot of Ahsoka season 1 presents the scene from his perspective, removing all doubt that he was only in Ahsoka's head.
After the Clone Wars and Order 66, Darth Vader always knew his former apprentice Ahsoka Tano was alive and that he would one day face her in battle - long before it happened in Star Wars Rebels. Ahsoka Tano unwittingly played a crucial role in Anakin Skywalker's fall to the dark side.
R2-D2 was present when Padmé gave birth to Leia and Luke, so he knew Luke was Anakin's son – but what he didn't know was that Anakin became Darth Vader. In addition to that, Anakin's fall was surely a painful event in R2-D2's life, one that he definitely wouldn't like to remember or even talk about.
What happened to the lightsabers Anakin gave to Ahsoka?
After Tano's departure from the Jedi Order after being framed for treason, the weapons remained with the Order. Her former master, Anakin Skywalker, returned the weapons to her upon her return to the Galactic Republic's military to lead forces in the Siege of Mandalore near the end of the war.
Now that Sabine had opened herself up to the Force, she was able to sense Anakin Skywalker's presence as he watched over his former Padawan. Sabine being able to sense Anakin but not Ahsoka may be one of the biggest twists in Ahsoka, and could be a big part of both characters' storylines moving forward.
During the Clone Wars, the Father guided Anakin Skywalker to Mortis in order to test the Jedi Knight's abilities and concluded that he was indeed the Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force. Skywalker declined the Father's invitation to remain on Mortis, however.
Yoda. Yoda's knowledge of Luke Skywalker's true parentage was also confirmed in Return of the Jedi. As with Obi-Wan, Yoda believed that Anakin's fall to the dark side made him unsalvageable, with the Darth Vader persona being his only identity following his ascension to Sith Lordship.
While the Star Wars canon doesn't explicitly confirm his regret, the intricacies of his relationship with Ahsoka and the remnants of his former identity could have stirred some degree of internal turmoil.
Summary. A disturbing theory suggests that Darth Vader kept one of Ahsoka Tano's lightsabers for a darker reason, potentially using its kyber crystal to improve his own blade.
How did Ahsoka know about Anakin and Padmé are having secret marriage in their relationship? Ahsoka is often seen accompanying Anakin interacting with Padmé, so it's evident that she would know of it. She also reaffirmed this during the scene she left the Jedi Order.
At some point after his transformation into the armored Darth Vader, Amidala's husband, the fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker came to visit the mausoleum, stricken by grief and remorse for his part in her death.
Before he could enter, however, Vader was stopped by Sabé, Eirtaé, Rabé, Saché, and Dormé, former handmaidens of Amidala, who refused to let him enter into the grave so he would not desecrate it. However, Vader would not be denied. As he entered the tomb, he became flooded with memories of Amidala.
Anakin's Force Choke begins the series of injuries that ultimately leads to Padme's death, and convinces Obi-Wan to fight him. Despite this, when Anakin learns of Padme's death, his immediate reaction of grief and regret shatters everything in the lab with a powerful force shockwave.
