Reflecting on the theories presented throughout season 1 of Ahsoka is truly captivating, despite their occasional lack of accuracy. Speculating about the outcome adds an extra layer of enjoyment to any Star Wars film or TV series, and this was particularly evident in Ahsoka's unpredictable journey. However, it is crucial to recognize the direction the story is taking, as the season finale of Ahsoka debunked 10 significant Star Wars theories.

10 Grand Admiral Thrawn's Troopers Were All Undead

As soon as viewers set their eyes on Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces, in partnership with the Nightsisters, immediate speculation arose regarding their potential undead nature. Thrawn informed Morgan Elsbeth that their ranks had diminished during their tenure on Peridea, implying that it would be reasonable for the Great Mothers to have utilized the resurrection spell showcased in Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 4, episode 19 "Massacre." Although the Great Mothers did reanimate a squadron of volunteers, and a handful of Thrawn's elite troopers had already succumbed to zombification, the majority of the stormtroopers remained fully alive throughout. While the concept of undead troopers may be chilling, the unwavering loyalty exhibited by the living ones is equally terrifying.

9 Baylan Would Unleash A Dark Side Being

Numerous theories have been devised by Star Wars enthusiasts regarding Baylan Skoll's objective in Ahsoka. However, his brief appearance in the finale left these speculations unverified. Among the most prevailing theories was the notion that Ahsoka orchestrated the involvement of Abeloth, a formidable dark side entity from Star Wars Legends. This proposition gains further credibility due to Baylan stumbling upon statues portraying the Force Gods of Mortis, with Abeloth serving as the Mother in the Legends lore. Nonetheless, despite the anticipation of many viewers regarding a confirmation in the Ahsoka conclusion, the revelation is now postponed to a future occurrence.

8 Shin Hati Would Be Redeemed By The End Of Ahsoka

7 Thrawn Was Not Really Loyal To The Empire

Throughout Ahsoka, Shin Hati experienced several moments of conflict. After separating from her master, it appeared that she could have found redemption in the finale. However, similar to Baylan, Shin made a brief appearance only at the episode's conclusion, hinting at her potential role as the leader of the nomads of Peridea. It is likely that Shin will continue to be an antagonist in Ahsoka season 2. Yet, there remains a strong possibility that Ahsoka will eventually succeed in reaching out to her.

Lady Morgan and the Imperial Shadow Council anticipated Thrawn's triumphant return, expecting him to lead the Empire towards victory. However, an alternative theory proposed a different agenda for him. Speculations ranged from Thrawn carving a path for his own people, the Chiss Ascendancy, to dismantling the Imperial Remnant and reconstructing the Empire in his own likeness. Nevertheless, Thrawn consistently affirmed that his actions were solely for the benefit of the Empire, even when there was no need for deceit. With a formidable army under his command and the loyal Captain Gilad Pellaeon awaiting his every command, it appears that Star Wars is preparing for the introduction of a canonical adaptation of the Thrawn trilogy.

6 A Major Character Death

5 A Full Ghost Crew Reunion

Taking into account the delightful conclusion of Ahsoka season 1, episode 7 "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness," it appeared probable that the series was building towards a tragic finale. Despite Ahsoka and several other individuals being trapped on Peridea, none of the protagonists met their demise while battling against Thrawn. The only significant character to meet a tragic end in the finale was Lady Morgan, which, however, only brought sorrow to the villains. The possibility of someone like Sabine or Ezra Bridger perishing would have been a daring move, yet now all the characters are alive for Ahsoka season 2 and The Mandalorian movie.

While Ahsoka gave fans of Star Wars Rebels a taste of character reunions, many were still hoping for a grand reunion of the entire Ghost crew in the finale. There was a chance for Sabine, Ezra, Hera Syndulla, Chopper, and Zeb Orrelios to come together once more in live-action, bringing the beloved crew back to the Star Wars galaxy. However, hopes were dampened as Sabine finds herself trapped on Peridea, with no certainty of when she will be able to reunite with her family.

4 Baylan Uses The World Between Worlds

3 Leia Makes A Cameo Appearance

An intriguing theory about Ahsoka revolves around Baylan's quest to find a gateway to the World Between Worlds with the intention of altering history's course. Baylan disclosed to Shin his pursuit of a solution to end the perpetual cycle of warfare in the galaxy, and he possibly views time travel as the means to achieve this objective. The presence of the Mortis Gods statues, Morai the convor's brief appearance, and Anakin Skywalker's Force Ghost allude to the existence of a potential entrance to the World Between Worlds on Peridea. Nonetheless, the confirmation of this theory will remain uncertain until the release of Ahsoka season 2.

Leia Organa quietly supported Hera in the background of Ahsoka, giving viewers the impression that she might appear in the final episode. She was briefly referenced in Ahsoka season 1, episode 5 "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," and then enlisted C-3PO to speak on her behalf in episode 7, making it all the more satisfying if she had made an appearance in the finale. However, it appears that Lucasfilm has chosen to keep Leia reserved for a future Star Wars project, possibly The Mandalorian movie.

2 Ahsoka Receives Her Staff

Ahsoka altered the epilogue of Star Wars Rebels by discarding her white cloak and staff upon meeting Sabine on Lothol. Given that she adorned her white robes in Ahsoka episode 5, there was a possibility that Ahsoka would acquire her staff by the season's conclusion. Only time will reveal if Ahsoka season 2 revises the timeline once again to finalize her transformation into "Ahsoka the White".

1 A Mandalorian Crossover

While there is a Mandalorian crossover scheduled for The Mandalorian Star Wars movie, it was widely speculated by viewers that Din Djarin would make an appearance in the Ahsoka finale. In the final episode of The Mandalorian season 3, Captain Carson Teva recruits Din Djarin to track down Imperials for the New Republic, implying that he would begin forming alliances in preparation for Thrawn's imminent return. The potential collaboration between these characters would have undoubtedly thrilled the audience, although the focus rightfully remained on Ahsoka's cast. The Ahsoka finale may have debunked several Star Wars theories, however, it has paved the way for intriguing possibilities in the forthcoming movies and TV shows.
