The Epic Ahsoka TV Show: Unraveling the Enigmatic Jedi's Impact on the Star Wars Timeline

The live-action Sabine Wren, portrayed by actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo, has shed light on the placement of the Ahsoka Disney+ TV show in the Star Wars timeline. As The Mandalorian continues to soar in popularity, it has paved the way for numerous spin-off series, including the highly anticipated Ahsoka, set to debut in August of this year. Ahsoka serves as essentially the fifth season of Star Wars Rebels, with several characters making the leap to the live-action format.

Natasha Liu Bordizzo, taking on the role of Sabine Wren, a skilled Mandalorian warrior, recently spoke to SFX (via Games Radar) about the chronological positioning of Ahsoka. "Ahsoka runs alongside The Mandalorian season 3 in the timeline," she revealed, emphasizing the interconnected nature of the shows. "There are striking parallels between them." This statement suggests that Ahsoka unfolds simultaneously with the events of The Mandalorian season 3.

There Are Still A Lot Of Questions About Ahsoka's Place In The Timeline

Ironically, Natasha Liu Bordizzo's comment raises more questions about Ahsoka's place in relation to the Star Wars movies. The Mandalorian season 3's timeline was confusing, as Jon Favreau from Lucasfilm suggested that several years had passed throughout the three seasons. This contradicted Lucasfilm's recently-published Star Wars: Timelines book, which confirmed that both The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 took place in the same year. There hasn't been a clear explanation provided yet.

However, the key point here is not Ahsoka's connection to Return of the Jedi or Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but rather its relation to The Mandalorian season 3. If Ahsoka is happening concurrently with The Mandalorian season 3, then its storyline might explain why Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian warrior, did not participate in the reclamation of Mandalore. It's possible that the Imperial Shadow Council, introduced at the end of The Mandalorian season 3, will have a significant role in Ahsoka; there might even be scenes viewed from a different perspective. It will be thrilling to see how Ahsoka handles this continuity.
