The Enigmatic Character in Ahsoka: A Key Link Uniting Star Wars' Future Films

Premiering in August, Ahsoka is anticipated to introduce a character who connects Dave Filoni's Mandalorian-era film and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Jedi Order film. Limited information is available about these projects; however, their placement on the Star Wars timeline is evident. This offers insight into potential appearances of characters in future Star Wars films.

Ahsoka will serve as a bridge between the events of Star Wars Rebels and the New Republic era. The Rebels epilogue provides hints about the destiny of the Ghost crew after the Liberation of Lothal, yet it leaves their individual journeys open-ended. This allows for their narratives to unfold in other Star Wars endeavors, such as Ahsoka and The Mandalorian. Characters introduced in the Rebels series finale are unlikely to be disposable, paving the way for their potential return in the future. Ahsoka could lay the foundation for their inaugural storyline.

Jacen Syndulla Is Set Up For Star Wars' Mandalorian-Era Movie

The upcoming toy releases for Ahsoka reveal a new version of Jacen Syndulla, the son of Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus, who was introduced in the finale of Rebels. While not much is known about this character, it is confirmed that he is a member of the Ghost crew during the Battle of Endor. As Ahsoka is expected to serve as a precursor to Dave Filoni's Mandalorian-era film, it is highly likely that characters from Ahsoka will make appearances in the movie, including Jacen, based on the lineup of Ahsoka's toys.

Given that his father was a Jedi, it is probable that Jacen possesses Force sensitivity as well. Although it is unclear if he underwent formal training, it is possible that he received guidance from Ahsoka Tano or even attended Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. Regardless of his abilities, it is unlikely that Jacen will have a major role in Ahsoka, as trailers suggest that the focus is primarily on Ahsoka and Sabine Wren. However, it is conceivable that Jacen may make a small appearance and potentially assist Ahsoka in her mission to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Could Jacen Syndulla Have A Role In Rey's New Jedi Order Movie?

Jacen's birth in 0 BBY suggests that he could potentially appear in Rey's New Jedi Order film. Set around 50 ABY, the movie presents the possibility of Jacen being a fully trained Jedi who aids Rey in rebuilding the Order. Furthermore, even if Jacen lacks Force sensitivity, his father's affiliation with the Jedi and his familial ties to Ezra Bridger could make him a valuable ally for Rey and her newly established Jedi Order. The extent of Jacen Syndulla's involvement in the vast Star Wars universe remains uncertain, but his inclusion in Ahsoka holds promise for more of his character. Hopes are that the Disney+ series provides hints about his future trajectory.
