Summary

James Mangold's upcoming Star Wars movie will explore the distant past of the galaxy, telling the origin story of the first Force-user before the formation of the Jedi Order.

In the recent installment of Ahsoka, an intriguing starmap uncovers an ancient intergalactic network of civilizations which inexplicably crumbled over a span of 25,000 years. These revelations put forth by Ahsoka suggest that it is conceivable for the Jedi Order to have originated in a different galaxy, thereby introducing their philosophy and understanding of the Force to the Star Wars realm.

This article contains spoilers for Ahsoka episode 3. An upcoming Star Wars movie, set over 25,000 years ago, has the potential to completely reshape the established canon. The future of Star Wars hinges on the distant past, as announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023. James Mangold's film will delve into the origin story of the first Force-user, taking place before the formation of the Jedi Order. Previously, very little has been revealed about the galaxy's ancient history, with even the Jedi Order lacking knowledge due to lost records and past conflicts. However, the recent Ahsoka TV show has shed light on these intriguing ancient times, potentially providing insight into the upcoming Star Wars film.

Ahsoka Has Rewritten The History Of The Star Wars Galaxy

The Ahsoka's McGuffin is an ancient starmap that guides toward the void between the galaxies - the pathway to Peridea, a fabled location mentioned in ancient tales. It remains uncertain whether Peridea denotes another galaxy or a planet situated on the far reaches of that particular galaxy. Regardless, Huyang reveals that legends from ancient times tell of frequent travel between galaxies. Allegedly, explorers followed hyperspace routes that were charted based on the migratory paths of purrgil, the majestic space whales of the Star Wars universe.

Where Was The Force First Discovered?

The importance of this revelation cannot be overstated. It reveals that the Star Wars galaxy was once part of a vast intergalactic network of civilizations that ultimately collapsed. For over 25,000 years, the knowledge of this network's technological advancements has been lost. Now, Morgan Elsbeth and Ahsoka Tano are finally rediscovering the connections between the galaxies. However, there is a disturbing possibility that they are affiliated with the dark side of the Force. Ahsoka's end-credits reveal that the starmap contains references in an ancient language associated with ur-Kittât, a language directly associated with the Sith and their devotion to the dark side.

The galaxy's history is now more mysterious than ever, but even more enigmatic is the origin of the first Jedi. In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, we are introduced to what appeared to be the first Jedi Temple on the remote planet Ahch-To in the Unknown Regions. Despite being swiftly associated with the Core Worlds and connected to the political movement that established the Old Republic, the Jedi seemed to have emerged fully-formed. However, they were slightly different from their modern incarnation, as a mural of the Prime Jedi suggested they were agents of balance, embodying both darkness within the light and light within the darkness.

Ahsoka's revelations give rise to an intriguing possibility that the Jedi Order may not have originated in this galaxy at all. It is rather plausible that the Prime Jedi could have emerged from another distant galaxy, bringing along their philosophy and extensive knowledge of the Force to this new realm. If this hypothesis holds true, then James Mangold's Star Wars movie, which supposedly narrates the tale of the first-ever Force-users and the ancestors of the Jedi, is indeed situated in a remote galaxy, quite possibly at Peridea.

Has James Mangold Already Secretly Revealed The True Story Of His Star Wars Movie?

James Mangold's Jedi origin movie remains shrouded in mystery, but recent hints suggest that he may have divulged more than anticipated. In discussing his vision for the film, Mangold cryptically mentioned his desire to create a seminal exploration of the Force, akin to the revered Ten Commandments. This reference holds significant implications that have perhaps been overlooked until now.

The Bible recounts how Moses, after liberating the Israelite slaves from Egypt, received the Ten Commandments from God. This event could potentially serve as the true origin story of the Force in the Star Wars galaxy. It suggests that a powerful dark side force once ruled over the galaxies, only to be eventually overthrown by the light side. The defeated villains, who could be seen as the precursors to the Jedi, fled to a distant galaxy, their own Promised Land. This concept connects the Force to the grand tapestry of history depicted in Ahsoka and provides an explanation for the downfall of an intergalactic civilization, leading to the loss of its knowledge for thousands of years.

One possible interpretation is that the slavers in question may be a version of a group called the Rakata, who are recognized in Star Wars Legends. According to this lore, the Rakata originated from the Deep Core and ensnared much of the galaxy in slavery until they were eventually defeated by the Je'daii, the predecessors of the Jedi. The Rakata were known for their proficiency in the dark side of the Force and for enslaving individuals with Force abilities. While the canon version of Star Wars has briefly alluded to the Rakata in Andor, it is plausible that they could be developed into an intergalactic empire. If this theory holds true, then James Mangold's upcoming Star Wars film would explore the emergence of the Jedi's precursors in a different galaxy, their rebellion against the Rakatan oppressors, and their subsequent journey to the more familiar galaxy we know.

The Jedi in Star Wars have often been likened to Jewish symbolism. The word Jedi itself shares similarities with "Yehudi," the Hebrew term for Jew. The concept of the Chosen One aligns with Messianic prophecies, rooted in both Christianity and Judaism. The Jedi Purge represents the horror of the Holocaust. Given these connections, it would be entirely natural for Star Wars to incorporate the Exodus narrative into the history of the Jedi, portraying them as a people of liberation who rose against their oppressors. This would be both fitting and exhilarating, as it reveals a story that few could have ever imagined being told.

New episodes of Ahsoka are released every Tuesday at 6pm PT / 9pm ET on Disney+.
