During a special look at the upcoming Ahsoka series, Dave Filoni gave his views on Anakin Skywalker, prompting a big reaction from fans.
Dave Filoni, the filmmaker behind many Star Wars projects including the upcoming Ahsoka series, has sparked online debate over his description of Anakin Skywalker. Dave Filoni joined Lucasfilm on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, becoming the student of George Lucas himself. Since then, Filoni has gone on to create Star Wars Rebels alongside fleshing out the New Republic era of The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and even his own upcoming movie alongside Jon Favreau.
Lucasfilm recently released a "Journey to Ahsoka" special, and Star Wars Holocron noted that Filoni made a surprising statement - describing the star Ahsoka Tano as the student of the greatest Jedi of all time. This comment naturally sparked some debate among Star Wars fans who took to social media to argue their own candidates for the title.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Is Anakin Skywalker Really The Greatest Jedi Of All Time? Filoni's comments naturally inspired debate over whether Anakin really is the greatest Jedi of all time. There are some who agree with Filoni's description, with DaNotoriousVIC_ echoing Filoni's sentiments that "Anakin really was the best of the Jedi... he was everything Qui-Gon said he would be.
Anakin Skywalker is the Chosen One with a remarkably high midi-chlorian count, so no doubt his supporters believe the case to be closed. Others, however, aren't so impressed, arguing there's more to greatness than power. As pointed out by carlmeowner: "In terms of what? Strength? Yeah, probably. But in terms of honoring the Jedi Code? Definitely not.
This comment comes from another Star Wars fan who agrees Anakin's actions, namely the murder of the Jedi younglings, discount the Chosen One as the pinnacle of the Jedi Order. Of course, many other Star Wars fans took to arguing their case, from stating other Jedi like Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi or Yoda were above Anakin in the Jedi pecking order.
