Ahsoka Episode 8: Unveiling the Mysteries of the Mortis Gods!

Ahsoka concludes with Baylan facing statues on Peridea that bear a striking resemblance to the legendary Mortis Gods. Here's what you need to know about this intriguing finale.

As we analyzed the final episode, we found it difficult to label the eighth chapter as a conclusion. In fact, it felt more like a prelude to what lies ahead, whether it be a new season or the highly anticipated Star Wars film by Dave Filoni.

Thrawn is preparing the Chimaera and Eye of Sion for his comeback to the main galaxy, while Ahsoka and the rebel group unite to oppose him. Check out our analysis of the conclusion here.

In the final moments, we witness Baylan standing on a mountain in Peridea. He is facing two statues that resemble the Father and the Son, known as the Mortis gods. While some Star Wars fans may be familiar with them, others might not be. Thus, we will provide a simple overview of their identity.

Ahsoka: Who are the Mortis Gods?

The Mortis Gods, also referred to as the Ones, personify the Force. The Father symbolizes equilibrium, whereas the Son and Daughter symbolize the opposing forces of darkness and light.

They are considered to be Celestials, mystic beings whose essence eludes comprehension by mere mortals.

Appearing in The Clone Wars series, they made their debut on the planet Mortis, believed to be the birthplace of the Force. The Father enticed Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan to Mortis, viewing Anakin as the prophesied Chosen One destined to vanquish the Sith and safeguard the balance between light and dark.

The Father urged Anakin to take his position and cautioned him about the unavoidable future should he depart Mortis. Anakin declined, but before leaving, the Son abducted Ahsoka. Later, the Son endeavored to slay the Father, yet the Daughter shielded him and endured a fatal injury. Astonishingly, the Daughter employed her abilities to revive Ahsoka and transfer her life essence to her.

Anakin briefly succumbed to the dark side through the influence of the Son, but his recent memory was erased by the Father. They all united to fight against the Son, but the Father resorted to self-sacrifice by stabbing himself with the Dagger of Mortis. This sacrifice was made for the greater good of the galaxy, resulting in the death of the Father and the planet's protection, while also allowing Anakin to end his life.

The identities of the Mortis Gods are currently uncertain. Some speculations suggest that Anakin, with his immense power and status as a Force ghost, could be the new Father. Similarly, Baylan might be considered the Son, and Ahsoka, who witnessed Morai in the finale, further supports this theory, potentially becoming the Daughter.

Curiously, Peridea only boasts two statues: one of the Father and one of the Son, while it seems the Daughter's statue has been eroded over time. Additionally, Baylan spots a flickering light in the distance on a different mountain – could this be the reconstructed gods' monastery following the events of The Clone Wars? Numerous questions arise, but it may take some time before we receive the answers.
