Why this must be read: Ahsoka has learned a lot from Anakin, but one thing she hasn't learned is letting go of her attachments and fears for the people she cares about. It is a concept that is touched on in an early episode of the series, and which is expanded upon in this story. Obi-Wan finds that Anakin isn't just passing on his skills with machines or lightsabers, and feels caught between teaching Ahsoka the proper Jedi way and letting Anakin teach his student on his own - which means making Anakin face his own fear and shortcomings. This story picks up the dynamics of the trio wonderfully, and Obi-Wan's interactions with Ahsoka are lovely; Obi-Wan doesn't want to step on Anakin's toes as a teacher, but does what he can to subtly change Ahsoka's fear. The question of whether Ahsoka can overcome her fear, when Anakin never does, is one this story explores to a beautiful conclusion. Plus add to that the fact it's long and plotty makes it that much better!
