I voted Ahsoka. She's one of my favourite characters and Fives isn't. But his death was heartwrenching too, but I felt sadder for Ahsoka because I love her and her goodbye was so beautifully done. Who.... what..... how..... FIVES ISN'T ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS!!!!!!!-!! How is ahsoka better than Fives?!?! I like her more... and she's just a better character. Went through a great character arc and is epic.

Ashoka was unneeded and a unnecessary addition to TCW.

Ashoka was unneeded and a unnecessary addition to TCW. Agreed. Most of her episodes where she is the staring role are all unneeded and a lot of times are not that good either.'could have been filled with something better. Every clone episode actually has significance since clones are 5X more important and almost every episode with them has something to do with order 66 (Fives and Umbara arc to a extent) or actually has something to do with the war. Ahsoka was a useless filler character. And if I was calling the shots probably wouldn't have brought Maul back either and of course not Hevy lol.

Ahsoka is the most important character after Anakin.

Ashoka isn't the only one either, I mean you have Maul, Boba, The Pit Droid King thing, etc that really we're just distracting from the main problem.

I wouldn't say Ahsoka's pointless at all, she was a very important character and she did a lot to help shape Anakin. Although you have to admit, Anakin having a padawan during the Clone Wars is a pretty bad idea. First, it's a time of war and not much time for actual teaching. Anakin told Ahsoka once himself it's do or die when they were planning their citadel rescue, so that sort of shows that it's a bad idea to have an apprentice during a galaxy wide war. Also, Anakin himself literally just became a jedi knight like a year before he took Ahsoka as his apprentice. Not to mention he's sort of a bad person to give a padawan too, and we all know he could only have Ahsoka as his apprentice between 2-3 years (depending on when she was first assigned to him). There just wasn't enough space for that in such a short period of time. But like I said, Ahsoka's a pretty good character.

Actually he only got Anakin because Qui Gon died, otherwise he probably would have had to wait a bit longer. Plus Obi-Wan was a better apprentice than Anakin.

Plus Obi-Wan was a better apprentice than Anakin. Well, I think it's pretty common for Jedi to have apprentices that shortly after becoming a knight. and Anakin was supposed to learn from training Ahsoka, so it makes sense to give him an apprentice even though he wasn't the best apprentice himself.

It's not as much that as the problem as it is Anakin having a padawan during the Clone Wars in the first place. I just think it was sort of a bad idea to give him an apprentice just for the show (I'm talking about the actual producers here, not the jedi in canon). We all know Ahsoka's not there during ROTS and we all know she can only be in a timeframe of about 2 years or so, so it just seems like a really odd thing to do. They could have made Ahsoka like a friend to Anakin or something, but making her his actual apprentice just feels like a major event that's crammed into a very short amount of time.

Adding Ahsoka added more suspense to the story and making her Anakin's apprentice allowed them to let her appear very often.

But it was done really well... Still rushed though, when you think about. Anakin probably only had Ahsoka for 2 years max before she left the order. It's just trying to fit in a really large event in an amount of time that's not very large. They should have just said the Clone Wars was 5 years instead of 3.

Adding Ahsoka did add more suspense, but they could have had her in a different role other than being Anakin's apprentice. The problem with prequels is that they have to try not to contradict stuff that happened in the movies that came before them. Ahsoka was never mentioned in ROTS (I know they didn't know they were going to make her at the time), so it already makes it a bit awkward when you watch TCW and then ROTS.

If Ahsoka hadn't been Anakin's apprentice they couldn't let her be in as many episodes without a proper explanation. Also, her character development would have been worse. And if you watch all of TCW you'll understand why Ahsoka wasn't mentioned in ROTS. There was no need to talk about her, it was probably a very sensitive subject for Anakin. And TCW didn't determine how long the Clone Wars lasted... maybe they planned to extended the supposed three years.

And it wouldn't be worse, she isn't a good character just because she's Anakin's padawan. About Ahsoka in ROTS, even if it was a sensitive subject for Anakin, it still probably would have come up eventually... (maybe when Obi-Wan was yelling at Anakin on Mustafar after he de-limbs him).

I think the people in ROTS had other stuff to think about... Ahsoka might have been gone for a long time at that point or maybe something else happened to her (her story in TCW wasn't finished). And being Anakin's padawan was a huge point in Ahsoka's character development, so it improved her character development.
