Why you need two lightsabers to take on Yoda (Exclusive video)

We know he likes jogging around Dagobah in Luke Skywalker's backpack, but the Star Wars franchise has given us almost no glimpses into what it's like to practice the finer points of lightsaber dueling with Jedi Master Yoda.

But that's what happens to Anakin Skywalker's apprentice Ahsoka (Ashley Eckstein), of Clone Wars and Rebels fame, in this latest short in the Forces of Destiny series, presented first on Mashable.

The scene takes place very early in Ahsoka's training, when she learns to "fight like myself" against the mysterious green master -- and in her case, two lightsabers are better than one.

"Much like master and apprentice, two blades are," Yoda tells her. "One can sharpen and improve the other."

The short has great emotional resonance considering Ahsoka would walk away from the Jedi Order -- and Yoda's teaching -- at the end of Clone Wars after the Jedi suspected her of committing a terrorist attack.

Then in Rebels, she uses two lightsabers to battle her former master, now Sith lord Darth Vader. That bout ended inconclusively, and showrunner Dave Filoni has been teasing the fact that Ahsoka is still alive and may return to the show in its final season.

Forces of Destiny is a series of animated shorts and toy line that focuses on the women of the Star Wars galaxy, from Padme Amidala to Princess Leia to Jyn Erso to Rey.

Developed by Lucasfilm Animation, eight new installments in the series are screening on the Disney Channel this month.
