As mentioned above, Ahsoka and Rex's relationship is put on display in Episode 5, titled "Practice Makes Perfect." While the training method used by Anakin is unorthodox and dangerous, it challenges Ahsoka more than what Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda put her through. The training becomes a regular occurrence in Ahsoka's life, and we see an older Ahsoka, still training under Anakin, using the method. Although she gets more experienced each time she participates in the exercise, Captain Rex never ceases to worry about Ahsoka, tugging at "Star Wars" fans' hearts.
Reactions to Ahsoka and Rex's relationship blew up on Twitter, and they're saying what every fan is thinking. @Padawanisabelle couldn't handle Rex being concerned for Ahsoka's health, saying, "Rex was genuinely so nervous for Ahsoka during her training. I'm unwell." Others, like @Giselleb1234, reflected on how long it's been since fans have seen them together. "Rex bending down to talk to Ahsoka," they wrote. "I've missed their interactions so much."
Other "Star Wars" fans focused on the symbolism included throughout "Tales of the Jedi" by mastermind Dave Filoni. "Ahsoka training in the same place she was imprisoned and the first clone trooper to tag her being Jesse and then Rex tagging her and cutting to Ahsoka and Rex facing Jesse during Order 66," @Clonehumor noted. "Dave Filoni is hitting us with all the feels."
It's safe to say "Star Wars" fans love seeing Ahsoka and Rex together again. The duo formed a brother-and-sister-like bond throughout "The Clone Wars," serving together as heads of the 332nd Company within the 501st Legion. The pair would eventually fight against their former comrades during the events of Order 66.
"Tales of the Jedi" is now streaming.
