Star Wars: The Fulfillment of George Lucas' Unfinished Chosen One Journey
Dave Filoni continues George Lucas' visionary storytelling in Star Wars by delving into the intriguing Mortis history, complementing Lucas' original trilogy of captivating Mortis stories
Summary
Ahsoka's Disney+ show is delving into Jedi lore and the Force, potentially completing Anakin's arc as the Chosen One even after his death.
In Ahsoka season 2 of Star Wars, the Mortis gods from previous shows are expected to play a vital role, potentially providing closure to Anakin's story. Showrunner Dave Filoni intends to delve deeper into the history of the Mortis gods, establishing a link with the World Between Worlds and potentially bringing the Mortis trilogy to a conclusion.
Ahsoka explores the Jedi lore and the Force in a way that no other Star Wars Disney+ show has done before. This exploration is significant as it helps to bring closure to the story of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One. Although Anakin died in Return of the Jedi, we have seen his Force ghost in the World Between Worlds during episode 5 of Ahsoka, as well as in the season 1 finale where he protected Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren on Peridea. Despite his death, Anakin's story may not be complete, and his role as the Chosen One remains unfulfilled.
The introduction of Force entities like the World Between Worlds and the mention of the Mortis gods in the concluding moments of Ahsoka season 1 opens up numerous possibilities for season 2. The Mortis gods were first introduced in a story arc during Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 3, where Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan Kenobi journeyed to the Mortis realm. It was there that the Father, representing the balance in the Force, asked Anakin to take on his responsibility of maintaining equilibrium. Although we do not yet know what role the Mortis gods will play in Ahsoka season 2, it is possible that they will bring Anakin Skywalker's story to a definitive conclusion.

Filoni Has Plans For The Mortis History
Collaborating closely with Star Wars creator George Lucas on The Clone Wars, Dave Filoni developed a comprehensive backstory and history for the Mortis gods. Filoni's curiosity was sparked by the fact that the Mortis gods were the first Force-sensitive beings outside of the Jedi and Sith ever conceived by Lucas. In an interview for the Star Wars Rebels episode "World Between Worlds," Filoni reveals that Lucas initially introduced the concept of Anakin Skywalker undergoing trials by the Mortis gods, which he then expanded upon.
With Filoni emerging as one of the principal creators for the Star Wars New Republic Era, it feels fitting that he would have the desire to continue and potentially conclude certain concepts that he and Lucas initiated. The initial step Filoni took towards concluding this narrative occurred in Rebels when the Mortis gods' imagery appeared on the Jedi Temple situated on Lothal. Using this imagery, Ezra Bridger successfully accessed a portal that led to the World Between Worlds. This development establishes a precedent indicating a connection between the World Between Worlds and the Mortis gods, thereby increasing the likelihood of their significance in Ahsoka season 2.
Lucas Started A Trilogy Of Mortis Stories
Star Wars is renowned for its trilogies, and inadvertently, Lucas sparked one for the Mortis gods. Through their appearances in The Clone Wars, Rebels, and now Ahsoka, these three projects form a trilogy that delves into Mortis and the chronicles of the Force. Ahsoka's season 1 finale can be perceived as a sneak peek for the culmination of this trilogy in Ahsoka season 2. Although there are still numerous questions surrounding Ahsoka season 2, it appears probable that viewers will attain a resolution regarding the Mortis gods, their past, and the role Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, will play in all of this.
