Ahsoka's Future Hangs in the Balance: The Dark Side TV Show Could Unleash the Ultimate Threat

Summary

The Acolyte will delve into the dark side of the Force in the final days of the High Republic era, exploring its secrets and emerging dark side powers.

The show has the potential to provide a preview of what fans can expect in the second season of Ahsoka. By delving into the mystical aspects of the dark side, it can parallel other Star Wars properties that have focused on the mythology of the light side of the Force.

If Ahsoka introduces the formidable dark side being known as Abeloth, The Acolyte could further delve into her character and establish her as the most significant threat that Peridea will face, even before it is unleashed in the Star Wars timeline, spanning over 200 years.

The Acolyte, a TV show set in the era of the High Republic, has the potential to introduce a major threat for Ahsoka season 2. While details about The Acolyte have been scarce, its connection to the Skywalker Saga is unlikely due to its pre-Phantom Menace timeline. However, there is a possibility that The Acolyte could tie into Ahsoka in an unexpected and fascinating manner, setting up powerful Force-based adversaries for the show's second season.

The Acolyte Is Exploring The Nature Of The Dark Side Itself

The Acolyte, which is shrouded in mystery, will primarily focus on the secrets and emergence of dark side powers during the final days of the High Republic era. This information was officially confirmed on the Star Wars website when the show was announced. By exploring the dark side and the High Republic, The Acolyte aims to delve into the sinister aspects of the Force. While many initially speculated that the show would explore Darth Plagueis' ascension to power and his connection to Emperor Palpatine, it could potentially delve even deeper. Similar to how previous Star Wars properties like The Clone Wars, Rebels, and Ahsoka have explored the mystical aspects of the light side through the Mortis Gods, The Acolyte has the potential to do the same for the dark side. This unexpected connection to Ahsoka could directly foreshadow the second season of her show in 2024.

If Peridea Is The Origin Of The Dark Side, The Acolyte Can Set Up Its True Threat

First and foremost, it is worth investigating how Ahsoka's conclusion lays the groundwork for an exploration of the dark side. Baylan Skoll travels to Peridea, a planet in a nearby galaxy, in response to a mysterious call that he believes has the potential to put an end to the cycle of extremist regimes in the Star Wars galaxy. In the final moments of Ahsoka, Baylan is depicted standing atop statues of the Mortis Gods, leading many to speculate that he is in search of the lost, Star Wars Legends Mortis God Abeloth, the Bringer of Chaos. If this speculation proves true, Ahsoka will introduce the most formidable dark side entity in the form of a malevolent Force goddess.

All of this has the potential to connect with The Acolyte. As previously mentioned, Star Wars has previously explored aspects of the light side of the Force through the Daughter and the Father, two other Mortis Gods. With the exception of the Son, the embodiment of the dark side, Star Wars has not delved into the Mother/Abeloth. Therefore, The Acolyte's focus on the dark side may delve into Abeloth and the dark side of the Force in a much deeper manner than initially anticipated. This exploration sets the stage for Ahsoka and Peridea's greatest threat over two centuries before it is unleashed in the Star Wars timeline.
