Ahsoka, I am so sorry about everything.
You have our most humble apologies, little 'Soka. The Council was wrong to accuse you.
You have shown such great strength and resilience in your struggle to prove your innocence.
This is the true sign of a Jedi Knight.
This was actually your great trial. Now we see that. We understand that the Force works in mysterious ways. And because of this trial, you have become a greater Jedi than you would have otherwise.
Back into the Order you may come.
They're asking you back, Ahsoka. [Holds out Ahsoka's padawan braid to her] I'm asking you back. [Ahsoka looks from Anakin to the padawan braid and back again before closing Anakin's hand around the braid. Anakin looks hurt]
I'm sorry, Master, but I'm not coming back. [leaves the temple. All the council members look hurt. Anakin walks out and goes after Ahsoka]
Ahsoka, wait! Ahsoka, I need to talk to you. [Catches up to Ahsoka, who stops and turns to Anakin. Anakin sighs] Why are you doing this?
The Council didn't trust me, so how can I trust myself?
What about me? I believed in you. I stood by you.
I know you believe in me, Anakin, and I'm grateful for that. But this isn't about you. I can't stay here any longer, not now.
The Jedi Order is your life. You can't just throw it away like this! Ahsoka, you are making a mistake.
Maybe, but I have to sort this out on my own, without the Council and without you.
I understand. More than you realize, I understand wanting to walk away from the Order.
I know. [She turns and Anakin watches her until she disappears down the steps of the Jedi Temple]
