I can't really argue about the dramatic intensity of season five--that's why if the show had to get cancelled, I'm glad it stopped there even if they released a few more episodes later--but after learning about her untold arcs I really wanted to see them, so I'm hoping we'll get them here.

And considering their journey, I like the idea of Anakin's last scene on this show being essentially an unofficial knighting of Ahsoka, especially now we have her outliving him. It actually makes me think it was good the show was cancelled and then brought back now, instead of properly finished the first time around. To briefly summarize what I've said elsewhere: she makes it as a Jedi because of how she's unconventional like him him, but also different ("she makes the choices Anakin couldn't make" is how Filoni put it). Having her be the last of her kind, the only survivor after the empire--Vader being her last trial--is a powerful way to convey that, and it might not have happened if things hadn't turned out the way they did. Letting her have that scene with Anakin where he recognizes her as a Jedi and it's a positive if mixed thing for her (as opposed to the way he recognizes her as one while being Vader) adds more to that culmination of their story, while being a good one to this earlier part of it as well.
