Warning! This article includes spoilers for Ahsoka episodes 1 and 2.
Summary
Ahsoka episodes 1 and 2 validate a significant theory about a connection between Darth Maul and a hint towards the revival of Grand Admiral Thrawn. These episodes skillfully integrate characters from Star Wars Rebels, bridging the gap between the past and the show's upcoming storyline. They disclose that Morgan Elsbeth, a character, is actually a surviving Nightsister from the planet Dathomir.
Lady Morgan Elsbeth's connection to Dathomir brings depth to her story and sheds light on her anger towards the galaxy, while her mastery of magick and combat skills remains a enigmatic secret.
With Ahsoka's debut on Disney+, the first two episodes have already confirmed a major theory linking Darth Maul to a significant villain. The premiere showcases a number of formidable adversaries, including Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati, Morgan Elsbeth, and the enigmatic Inquisitor Marrok, who prove to be formidable obstacles for Ahsoka Tano, Hera Syndulla, and Sabine Wren. However, these antagonists serve as a prelude to the imminent return of Grand Admiral Thrawn from his exile in another galaxy.
The first two episodes of Ahsoka introduced several beloved characters from Star Wars Rebels, such as Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, C1-10P (also known as Chopper), Ryder Azadi, and Jai Kell. Despite these nostalgic references, the show skillfully intertwined past events with its future direction. In episode 1, Ahsoka unveiled the shocking revelation that Morgan Elsbeth is a Nightsister, a group of powerful female witches who harness magic through the Force. Previously believed to have been wiped out during the Clone Wars by General Grievous and Count Dooku, Elsbeth miraculously survived the brutal massacre.
Lady Morgan Is From Dathomir, Darth Maul's Homeworld
Dathomir, the homeworld of the powerful Nightsisters, has made several appearances in the Star Wars franchise. Notably, it was featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where it was revealed to be the birthplace of Asajj Ventress, Count Dooku's former apprentice, and Darth Maul, the Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious. On Dathomir, the women held dominance over the men, with the males residing in a separate area of the planet but still following the leadership of Mother Talzin, the Nightsister leader. While Maul briefly visited Dathomir during The Clone Wars, he actually stayed there during the events of Rebels and enticed Ezra Bridger, Sabine, and Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus to the witches' temple.
After the massacre of the Nightsisters, only four characters were known to have survived: Ventress, Maul, Merrin from Jedi: Fallen Order, and the newly introduced Morgan Elsbeth. It remains unclear how Morgan managed to escape, possibly being off-world or having only sustained injuries during the Separatist attack. Furthermore, it is unknown if she ever returned to her homeworld like Maul did in Rebels. Morgan's intense anger fueled her ascent within the Empire's ranks, making her an intriguing figure for Grand Admiral Thrawn, who harbored a fascination for the Force and various other forms of power.
How Star Wars Set Up Lady Morgan's Dathomir Connection
How Powerful Is Lady Morgan?
Lady Morgan Elsbeth's presence in The Mandalorian season 2 has led to speculations that she belonged to the Nightsisters. This conjecture stemmed from Ahsoka's revelation to Din Djarin that Elsbeth's people were massacred during the Clone Wars, and that she played a pivotal role in the Empire's construction of the Imperial Starfleet. Although numerous lives were lost during the Clone Wars, the Nightsisters gained particular notoriety. By portraying Lady Morgan Elsbeth as a survivor, her animosity towards the galaxy is contextualized, adding an additional layer to her narrative.
In The Clone Wars, the Nightsisters proved their power. However, it is intriguing to observe that when Morgan Elsbeth fought Ahsoka Tano in season 2 of The Mandalorian, she refrained from utilizing her magick. This could imply that Elsbeth lacked proper training or had not completed her instruction in the mystical and combative arts of the Nightsisters. Considering that some Nightsisters lived for centuries, determining the extent of Elsbeth's training solely based on her age becomes challenging. Moreover, the influence of the Nightsisters extended beyond the living, as they appeared as spirits in Rebels and even possessed Sabine and Kanan temporarily. Their power transcends mere mortal existence.
Elsbeth may not have acquired the ability to use magick outside of sacred areas such as Dathomir or Arcana. The Clone Wars demonstrated that the Nightsisters were most effective on Dathomir, and Merrin, a Nightsister, struggled to use her fire abilities after being away from Dathomir for an extended period. Lady Morgan Elsbeth's background as a Nightsister from Dathomir will be further explored in future episodes of Ahsoka as magick plays a crucial role in the plan to locate Grand Admiral Thrawn. Catch new episodes of Ahsoka on Disney+ every Tuesday at 6pm PT / 9pm ET.
