[ an apology would be nice, but ahsoka knows she'll never get that from obi-wan. he doesn't admit to failures. and she has moved past thinking the council would ever give her a proper one.
but obi-wan and anakin suffer from the same problem. acceptance. they can't because they haven't lived it but they don't realize it's not as simple as it sounds to turn the clock back. ]
It wasn't Palpatine that made us choose war. Who turned us into soldiers. He is responsible, but there is more to it. Are you willing to accept that?
Yes, alright. I'm willing to accept the causes are not simple. If they were, what happened would never have happened.
[Accepting some fault with the Council and the Jedi is a much harder thing to admit. But seeds are certainly being planted, even if Obi-Wan doesn't really want to give them water.]

( though her attachment to anakin hinders her still. she feels it. she hears it. she turns away from it ) ]
It'll take a lot more than simply being rid of Palpatine for good.
