She nods at that, understanding that Luke is just a son who wants to know more about who his father was before the fall, before becoming Vader. Anything taught by the Empire is always going to be clouded with Palpatine's lies.

"When I first met Anakin, he was a Jedi Knight - a general in the Clone Wars. He led the 501st legion for the Republic, and he had never had an apprentice, nor did he want one. I was arrogant, too eager to prove that I would make a good Padawan for him, and I made mistakes on our first mission. But he accepted me despite that." Her words are warm, and full of fondness.

"He is smart, cocky, and loyal. Anakin has his flaws as a Jedi, but he believed in me, trusted me, taught me how to survive. He pushed me to always do better, to make sure I would be able to walk away from any fight. That's the real reason I survived the destruction of the Jedi, because he made sure I could fight against any opponent." There's a long road ahead of her, fighting against the Empire and her old Master. It isn't going to be easy, seeing Vader where Anakin should be.

Ahsoka is determined to not let that taint her memories of Anakin. "I wasn't able to help him when it happened, but I'm glad he was himself again at the end."
