Warning! This article contains spoilers for Ahsoka.
Summary
Ahsoka's foray into a new galaxy within the Star Wars universe has ignited fervor and conjecture among enthusiasts.
The statues of the Mortis gods in Ahsoka's finale imply a strong link between Peridea and Mortis, which could provide an explanation for the peculiar circumstances of their journey in The Clone Wars.
Although Ahsoka's story unfolded primarily in another galaxy during her eight-episode arc, it is possible that this is not the first occurrence of such an event in the Star Wars franchise. Episode 3 of Ahsoka revealed a shocking revelation: Thrawn and Ezra were transported to a completely different galaxy than the one featured in every previous Star Wars project. This revelation generated excitement, speculation, and some concern regarding how Star Wars would handle the exploration of a distant and unfamiliar galaxy, diverging from the one beloved by fans.
Ahsoka excelled in her exploration of Peridea. She expertly revealed connections to Mortis in the finale and provided valuable context about the Nightsisters, showcasing the handling of a second Star Wars galaxy with near perfection. However, it is important to remember that Star Wars has previously ventured into a second galaxy, which may have potential ties to Ahsoka's story through the Mortis theory.
Anakin, Obi-Wan, & Ahsoka Once Traveled Outside The Galaxy
The journey in question took place in Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 3 during the Mortis arc. The significance of the Mortis gods in the New Republic era was hinted at in Ahsoka's finale, and these deities were initially introduced in the Mortis arc of The Clone Wars. In the beginning of this arc, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka find themselves on Mortis, a mysterious planet that cannot be detected by scanners.
Upon arriving on the planet, Obi-Wan expresses uncertainty, stating, "I cannot determine our location within the galaxy... or if we are even in our own galaxy." This suggests the possibility that Mortis may exist in another galaxy. Consequently, this indicates that Ahsoka's encounter is not the first time Star Wars has ventured beyond its primary galaxy, and it could potentially connect to a significant theory concerning a Peridea connection with Mortis.
Ahsoka's Finale Linked Peridea To Mortis - What's The Connection?
In the final scene of Ahsoka, Baylan Skoll stood atop a colossal statue. This statue represented the Father, a deity from Mortis who symbolizes balance in the Force. Flanking the Father were statues of the Daughter, embodiment of the light side, and the Son, representative of the dark side. The Daughter's statue had been damaged, sparking numerous theories about the potential connection between Ahsoka's Peridea and Mortis.
Given the evidence from The Clone Wars that Mortis does not exist within the Star Wars galaxy, one possibility is that Peridea is, in fact, Mortis. This hypothesis would not only explain the peculiar circumstances surrounding Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka's journey in The Clone Wars, but also shed light on the extraordinary potency of the Force on Peridea, the prevalence of the Mortis gods, and the ability of figures like Anakin to manifest as Force ghosts. Without a doubt, the connection between Peridea and Mortis is substantial, and with hopes for a second season of Ahsoka, we anticipate that more answers will be unveiled.
All episodes of Ahsoka are now streaming on Disney+.
