Mind-Blowing Revelation: Star Wars Confirms Epic New Movie, Unveiling a Jaw-Dropping 25,000-Year-Old Prequel Theory

Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for Ahsoka episode 6.

Summary

In episode 6 of Ahsoka, it is revealed that the Star Wars galaxy might not have originated from the one we are familiar with. Instead, it is believed to have started from Peridea, a planet Ahsoka and her companions stumbled upon.

By uncovering the Pathway to Peridea, it has been demonstrated that intergalactic travel is achievable. The nightsisters were the pioneers in utilizing purrgil to journey from Peridea to the original Star Wars galaxy.

Peridea goes beyond being the birthplace of the nightsisters, as it potentially holds the key to the origin of the Force and the eternal cycle of light and dark.

Episode 6 of Ahsoka dropped numerous shocking revelations that have significant implications for George Lucas' expansive Star Wars universe, effectively setting the stage for Disney's upcoming Star Wars movie. Throughout the Ahsoka series, the narrative has been steadily building towards the moment when the characters uncover the fate of Thrawn and Ezra Bridger, who were last seen in the fourth season of Star Wars Rebels. Finally, in episode 6 of Ahsoka, this question is answered, and in the process, it dramatically redefines various aspects of Star Wars lore. The revelation of the planet Peridea not only unveils the origins of the Dathomiri, but Baylan Skoll suggests that Peridea holds far greater significance than being solely the birthplace of the nightsisters.

Ahsoka's significant discovery, the Pathway to Peridea, reveals that traveling between galaxies is indeed possible, although it is extremely rare. Baylan Skoll and Morgan Elsbeth build a massive hyperspace ring in order to achieve their journey to Peridea. Similarly to Ezra Bridger, Ahsoka Tano follows them by riding hyperspace whales called purrgil. Elsbeth explains that the nightsisters were the initial group to harness and ride the star whales from Peridea to the original Star Wars galaxy, but they were not the only ones to do so.

The History Of The Galaxy Begins "A Long Time Ago..."

In episode 6 of Ahsoka, Huyang's single line alters George Lucas' original Star Wars story, suggesting that the familiar phrase "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" refers to a different galaxy than previously thought. It is now believed that the origin of the Star Wars galaxy lies in Peridea's galaxy. This revelation is reminiscent of James Mangold's upcoming Star Wars movie. Although not fully confirmed or explained by Disney, it is being suggested that life in the Star Wars galaxy originated from Peridea. If the nightsisters were indeed the first to travel from one galaxy to another using purrgil, it stands to reason that other species from Peridea's galaxy did the same. This aligns with Huyang's ancient Jedi stories, which Baylan initially dismissed as mere children's tales. Filoni has been careful to keep the details of the Peridea folktale under wraps, but Baylan may have provided additional clues in episode 6.

Baylan Believes The Cycle Of Light & Dark Began At Peridea

Baylan suggests that Peridea holds significance beyond being the birthplace of life in the Star Wars galaxy. While Morgan Elsbeth and Thrawn pursue power over others, Baylan's quest lies in uncovering the origins of power itself. There is a possibility that Peridea is where the Force originated, or at least where the eternal struggle between the light and dark sides began. If this is true, it could be the missing piece of information that Filoni has been careful not to reveal in Huyang's tales. Baylan's motivation stems from the desire to eradicate war, which can only be achieved by returning to its source.

The presence of the purrgil further supports Baylan's belief about Peridea being the epicenter of the cycle of light and dark. The surrounding ring of Peridea consists of countless purrgil remains, prompting the question of why they are so inclined to perish specifically near this planet. If Peridea is indeed the origin of the cycle of light and dark, as well as life and death, it is logical for the purrgil's instinct to lead them back to the beginning before their demise. Therefore, Peridea serves as both the alpha and omega in the purrgil's existence, just as it may symbolize the beginning and end for the Jedi.

Star Wars' Jedi Origin Movie Can Show These Legends - Not Just Tell Them

The introduction of folktales by Filoni, Baylan's belief in the true nature of Peridea, and the life cycle of purrgils all suggest that the planet may be the origin of everything, including the Jedi. If this is true, then Ahsoka's actions may have set the stage for the yet-to-be-named Star Wars film, which takes place 25,000 years before the rest of the franchise. Mangold's movie aims to serve as a symbolic beginning to the Star Wars saga, and while Filoni has touched on this origin retrospectively, Mangold's film could provide a live-action exploration of these events.

The upcoming final episodes of Ahsoka will likely shed more light on Peridea and the origins of Baylan's quest to end the cycle. However, Filoni has already planted the seed of questioning in the minds of the audience regarding the true beginnings of the Star Wars universe. In other words, Ahsoka's story may be concluding the cycle that starts with Mangold's Star Wars film. Regardless, if Ahsoka recollects the complete folktale from Huyang in episode 6, she may be reminded of the legendary "beginning of the cycle" that Baylan is searching for.

Ahsoka releases new episodes Tuesdays at 6pm PT / 9pm ET on Disney+.
