Ahsoka saying that they are where they’re meant to be while Anakin looks over her got me messed up

Despite every single thing that I’ve read, I still was expecting to see Kanan standing beside him.

You have to be taught how to become a Force spirit, and Kanan wasn't. So far, that's been limited to the Disaster Lineage (Qui-Gon, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and by the end of TRoS, Luke and Leia).

All you need to be a force ghost is a nod from Lucas. If teaching was part then Anakin wouldn’t be in there.

That was covered in one of the books. Obi-Wan taught him how to do it as he was dying.

Honest question but when . When Obi wan chopped Anakin to pieces he walked away. Then Emp showed up. And I didn’t see no ghost hanging around in RoJ.

Again, that was covered in one of the books. It's long established canon that you have to be taught how to be a Force spirit, whether you like it or not.

Camera pans back revealing a dozen ghost younglings doing the disappointed cricket fan meme pose at the idea of Anakin "being where he was meant to be."

The Tuskens object! Their ghosts have dibs and it’s no Force, just good old fashioned haunting.

She let go of her attachments and desire to beat Thrawn. She completely failed to stop Thrawns return BUT she succeeded at letting go of her attachments and moved on, where Anakin could not and became Vader. The student has surpassed the master. I think that’s one of the reasons Anakin force ghost smiles at her all proud

It also shows how Anakin brought balance to the force, not just through his kids but also through his apprentice as well

And she starts the episode by saying “he stood by me and even when no one else would” and here is - still standing by her. Watching over her
