Ahsoka Tano's Relationship With Obi-Wan Kenobi Explained

Anakin and Obi-Wan don't discuss Ahsoka's departure from the Jedi Order until Season 7. However, a canceled story arc called "Crystal Crisis on Utapau" was originally set to address her absence. The arc is still considered canon, and story reels of the unfinished episodes were eventually released on StarWars.com.

In the arc's second episode, "In Search of the Crystal," Anakin mentions Ahsoka for the first time since the incident, prompting a discussion with Obi-Wan as they set up camp for the night. Anakin tells his master how much he misses his former Padawan, and is obviously angry that she left the Order. But when Obi-Wan emphasizes that it was her decision to leave, Anakin responds, "Well, what choice did we give her?"

Anakin blames the Council for refusing to stand by Ahsoka in her time of need, but Obi-Wan disagrees. He blames Ahsoka, claiming she let "emotions cloud her judgement." Since that's against the Jedi code, it is thus her failure to act like a Jedi that caused her to leave. In taking this line of argument, Obi-Wan basically sidesteps the role he played in these events, and paints her leaving as some sort of childish tantrum, completely disregarding the legitimacy of her position.
