No child should be placed in a command position, especially not a 14-year-old impulsive and stubborn girl. Putting Ahsoka Tano in charge of a squadron of starfighters was a disaster waiting to happen—and it did.

The loss of lives due to failure to follow orders is traumatizing for anyone, but when that burden falls on a child, it becomes even more devastating. Ahsoka and her fellow Jedi were meant to be peacekeepers, but the moment they joined the war against the Separatists, they became soldiers—whether they wanted to or not.

She should have listened to Anakin when he ordered her to pull out of the attack, but her headstrong nature drove her to charge forward. By the time she realized her mistake, it was too late. Her squadron, Blue Squadron—Axe, Slammer, Kickback, Tucker, and Swoop—was nearly wiped out, and she lost them all because of her stubbornness.

Yes, they won the battle in the end, breaking the blockade due to her exploits, but that victory felt hollow to Ahsoka. The guilt of her actions weighed heavily on her, impossible to shake. Even with Anakin's reprimanding for disobeying direct orders, and though she claimed that she was only acting on his teachings, she accepted full responsibility for her actions.

Their now on their way to the First Battle of Felucia against Separatist forces, where they'd link up with Plo Koon and his forces as they desperately needed reinforcements.

Her mind was off of that entirely in this moment. Instead, she sat alone in the hangar of the Resolute, perched atop some crates in silence, the ambience of Clone crews working all but fate to the back of her mind as she remained processing the horrors of war she had experienced first hand. The hardest lesson anyone could learn, and Ahsoka had learned it in the most brutal way possible.
