Warning: The following contains spoilers for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka episode 5! Turn back now if you're not up to date! 

Ahsoka episode 5 brought The Clone Wars to live-action. For the first time, we saw Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker in the Clone Wars era, sporting the shorter hair and uniform of his animated counterpart. Ariana Greenblatt, meanwhile, stepped in to play the younger version of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka Tano, com𓂃plete with her original single green lightsaber and, later, her twin blue blades. 

Naturally, that means the episode is filled with callbacks. Beyond Christensen and Greenblatt perfectly resembling the animated versions of their characters, we also see them in the same pose as a moment from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Clone Wars season 7. 

Then there's the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:inclusion of Rex, a clone trooper Ahsoka was particularly close to – they even helped each other survive Order 66. Plus, Rex is once again played by Temuera Morrison,📖 though we don't get to see him without his helmet. 

There's also a hefty callback to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Siege of Mandalore, a battle for control of the Mandalorian homeworld depicted in The Clone Wars season 7. Anakin remarks that he doesn't know this particular fight, and Ahsoka replies that that's because she'd already parted ways with him by then – Snips left the Jedi Order in The Clone Wars season 5 and briefly reunited with Anakin in season 7 before they left for separate missions (for more, see our guide on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:where Ahsoka i💞s during Revenge of the Sith). 

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Anakin and Ahsoka's fight also ha🍨s a parallel to their clash in the Rebels season 2 finale, too, which you can see 🎃below. 

After Ahsoka's experience in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:World Between Worlds, she gets a brand new, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:very symbolic white outfit – and it also seems this 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:won't be the last we see of Anakin, either. 

Ahsoka is streaming on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus now. For much mor📖e on the show, check out our deep🧜 dives on:
