Obi-Wan found himself constantly challenged by Anakin, his apprentice, and this comical artwork from *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* illustrates the mayhem that ensues when Anakin teams up with the equally headstrong and impulsive Ahsoka Tano. Assigned as Anakin’s Padawan, Ahsoka initially clashed with him, yet it quickly became clear that they were an ideal pairing. Throughout the Clone Wars, Anakin and Ahsoka evolved into a formidable team, gaining insights from one another both on and off the battlefield.
Artist emilykreates humorously captured this dynamic on Instagram.
In the artwork, Anakin and Ahsoka are humorously depicted sharing a single poncho emblazoned with the words “get along poncho.” Both appear less than pleased, with Anakin grumbling, “Obi-Wan, this is ridiculous!” The final slide in the post features a screenshot from *Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,* where Obi-Wan famously advises Anakin to calm down—a recurring motif throughout the prequels. The caption wittily states, “‘I think it’s a brilliant idea, actually’ – Obi-Wan, probably,” perfectly encapsulating Obi-Wan’s amused demeanor.
Ahsoka Has Always Been the Ideal Padawan for Anakin
When Ahsoka first enters Anakin’s life in the *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* movie, she is initially expected to become Obi-Wan’s new apprentice. At this point, Anakin had recently achieved Knighthood, making Obi-Wan eligible to take on a new Jedi Padawan. However, to everyone’s surprise, especially Anakin’s, Yoda assigns Ahsoka to him instead. Anakin had previously expressed his belief that taking on a Padawan during the Clone Wars would merely be a burden.

Upon hearing Ahsoka’s assignment from Yoda, Obi-Wan can’t help but smirk. On their way to meet her, he had conveyed to Anakin his opinion that his apprentice would make an excellent teacher. Thanks to Yoda’s foresight, Ahsoka gains the rare chance to undergo training that not only helps her survive Order 66 but also transforms her into a formidable adversary against the Empire.
