I absolutely love the Jedi younglings and their relationships with the older members of the Jedi! Every time we see the younglings, they seem happy and upbeat, they’re cheerful and adorable and precious, while the adults watch on fondly. From the all the way back to Attack of the Clones, where we see Yoda being utterly delighted by the children he’s teaching, he’s practically gleefully selling Obi-Wan out in front of the kids, he’s using the moment to teach them and show that, even as children, their insights are valuable. Yoda says, very plainly in front of the kids, “Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.” and shows them that their insight into how Kamino came to be missing from the Archives is valuable. Plus, those kids are SO STINKING CUTE.
Then, all throughout The Clone Wars, we see how pretty much every Jedi that Ahsoka interacts with, they’re ready to take her under their wing and teach her! Whether they’re her Master–
The Master of her Master, who is still helping them both–
The Jedi she has a special relationship with–
Whether it’s Yoda, who pretty much everyone seems to go to when they need advice–
Or simply a Jedi she happened to be around for the day–
Every single one of them took time to explain things to her, teach lessons to her, listen to her, guide her, help her. Hell, the Jedi even seem to like it when non-Jedi can help teach their children, to give them even more perspectives on things, like how Ahsoka works with Riyo Chuchi or Padme.
Because the Jedi love their children and Ahsoka is the character we see that demonstrated through, that all these different Jedi don’t have to be assigned to be her Master to want to help her, they’re just there to help her however they can! And that’s further reflected in the way Ahsoka herself then passes that same encouragement and affection on to the other younglings–in “The Gathering”, we get to see how adorable and happy and cheerful those younlings are once again!
Look at them! Those kids are such happy kids! And Ahsoka is so patient and kind with them– Like, when she’s showing them how they all have to work together to open the doors to the Temple on Ilum, she is so good with them and encourages them and is pleased with what they’ve accomplished:
You know that’s exactly how her trip to Ilum went as well. Further, you can see it in the way Yoda interacts with the younglings afterwards as well, he explains the lessons he was teaching them and you can just see those kids blossoming under the patience and kindness and care of Yoda’s praise for them:
One of the most telling things as well, is the vision that’s meant to tempt Yoda, to lull him into a fugue, it’s a peaceful, beautiful vision of what the Jedi Temple is at its most ideal– Where children are freely, happily running around and laughing, darting in and around the adults!
That is what Yoda views as the ideal version of everything, a Jedi Order that no longer has to fight a war–all with the Jedi we recognize. And not just Masters talking with Masters, but Knights and Padawans and Masters all mixing together. I LOVE ALL OF IT. THE JEDI YOUNGLINGS ARE SO FREAKING CUTE AND THEY’RE SUCH GOOD KIDS AND WE SEE SUCH JOY IN THEIR LIVES AND SO MANY BROTHERS AND SISTERS THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AND WATCH OVER THEM AND GUIDE THEM. A Jedi is never alone because they were always connected through the Force, but also the Jedi Temple was full of people who were always ready to help take some time to work with a youngling–and, I mean, seriously, YOU CAN’T BLAME THEM BECAUSE LOOK HOW CUTE THESE PRECIOUS KIDDOS ARE:
I’D SPEND ALL MY TIME HELPING THE BBS TOO IF I WAS SURROUNDED BY THIS MANY PRECIOUS CHILDREN.
