Curious how people say that Palpatine & Anakin should have been kept apart because a politician wanting to mentor a teenager should be suspicious, but the same isn't said about Padme & Ahsoka.

I'm observing that Anakin wasn't allowed a solo mission until he was 19, but Yoda let Ahsoka accompany Padme to Alderaan alone at age ~14, and Anakin let Padme borrow her long enough to go to the Separatist capital at about ~15.

So maybe the Jedi were more protective of Anakin than many of us tend to assume.

#ahsoka also claims to be friends with riyo chuchi #and is allowed to go off with her too #seems to me that maybe hindsight is 20/20 but double standards still exist #anakin skywalker #palpatine #ahsoka tano #padme amidala #prequels #clone wars #tcw #star wars #also worth noting that when anakin was finally given a solo mission Obi-Wan was against it #specifically because of Anakin's personal attachment to the person he was assigned to protect
