Ahsoka: Uncovering Hidden Connections with Star Wars Rebels - Mind-Blowing Easter Eggs!

Highlights

Despite claims that viewers don't need to watch Star Wars Rebels to understand Ahsoka, the two shows share a strong connection.

Ahsoka season 1 incorporates various references and Easter eggs from Rebels. These include Sabine's paint sprayers and a scout trooper helmet. The hideout in Ahsoka is adorned with artistic details, featuring references to creatures from Rebels and a beautifully stylized phoenix design.

As Ahsoka season 1 comes to a close on Disney Plus, dedicated Star Wars fans have been delighted to uncover new exciting details. Here's a fresh batch of background tidbits that will bring some solace as the season concludes, while still leaving us hopeful for more.

While there have been suggestions that watching Star Wars Rebels is not necessary to understand Ahsoka, it is undeniable that the two shows are intricately connected. This connection becomes evident right from the start, as Ahsoka introduces characters such as Sabine Wren, a skilled Mandalorian warrior and artist, and General Hera Syndulla, both prominent characters in Rebels. Additionally, the show discreetly includes subtle references to the beloved animated series, which were already present in the first episode.

According to StarWars.com, the authenticity of these Easter Eggs is confirmed in the most official way. The website explored Sabine's hideout in a tower on Lothal, which was previously inhabited by her friend Ezra Bridger. Fans immediately noticed how Sabine made the place her own, but there are a few specific elements that may have been overlooked. Firstly, viewers can spot a collection of Sabine's paint sprayers, which she used extensively throughout Rebels to showcase her artistic abilities by personalizing walls, helmets, and even starships. Although Ahsoka focused more on Sabine's Jedi training, it's comforting to see that she hasn't abandoned her artistic identity.

Another intriguing detail involves a helmet that belonged to Ezra long before he became one of Ahsoka's guiding forces. In season 3 of Star Wars Rebels, Sabine added some stylish details to a scout trooper helmet for Ezra, effectively eliminating its potential for espionage while making it look fashionable. Nearby, there is a pile of unpainted stormtrooper helmets, along with a seat adorned with Sabine's personal touch, resembling her designated spot on the Ghost ship, which was piloted by Hera in Rebels and is now under Ahsoka's command. It seems that Sabine's sentimentality extends beyond her creative pursuits.

Sabine's artistic flair remains intact, as the hideout continues to showcase an abundance of impressive spray-painted art. Alongside references to her fellow Ghost crew members from Star Wars Rebels, the walls are adorned with captivating depictions of creatures such as Loth-cats, Loth-wolves, and the mischievous puffer pigs. Additionally, a striking stylized phoenix design commemorates her time with the Phoenix Squadron of fighter pilots, while a humorously dark design represents stormtrooper kills.

Furthermore, the room is filled with numerous Easter eggs, some of which were never shown onscreen. One notable example is a owl-like convor, belonging to the enigmatic Morai species. Many fans have anticipated a cameo appearance of Morai on Ahsoka, as this creature seems to have played a guiding role in certain events within the Star Wars franchise. The attention to detail in Ahsoka is evident, and another potential season would undoubtedly continue to captivate fans with this same level of intricacy.

Ahsoka is available to stream on Disney Plus.
