The Jaw-Dropping Mystery Behind Ahsoka's Mortis God Statues – Unveiling The Shocking Truth!

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Ahsoka episode 8.

Summary

The missing head of the Daughter in the statues of the Mortis gods in Ahsoka episode 8 is explained by a theory. Ahsoka season 2 will heavily feature the Mortis arc from The Clone Wars and potentially explore the enigmatic realm once again.

Speculation exists that Ahsoka, carrying the essence of the Daughter, is destined to take the place of the missing Daughter among the Mortis gods. A shocking moment in Ahsoka's season 1 finale reveals that Baylan Skoll discovered statues of the three Mortis gods, prompting a theory on the absence of the Daughter's head. These gods, featured in the Mortis arc of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, embodied the equilibrium of the Force. The trio consisted of the Father, representing the harmony between his offspring: the Son, embodying darkness, and the Daughter, symbolizing light.

The Mortis arc from The Clone Wars will play a crucial role in Ahsoka season 2, with the potential for revisiting the enigmatic realm. In episode 8 of Ahsoka, Baylan Skoll is shown standing on a stone statue depicting the Father's face, accompanied by the Son. Another statue of the Daughter is also present, albeit with its head missing. It is conceivable that the inhabitants of Peridea once worshipped the Mortis gods or that there existed a portal leading to the realm, which may explain why Baylan Skoll feels drawn to it. However, the fate of the Daughter remains a mystery.

The Daughter Was Killed In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

It is uncertain if Peridea will lead Baylan Skoll and other Ahsoka characters to Mortis. However, it is important to note that the Son killed the Daughter in The Clone Wars. The Son intended to kill their dying Father, but the Daughter sacrificed herself to save him. The Mortis gods appear to be ancient, and their original appearance or the duration of their worship on Peridea remains unknown. According to Morgan Elsbeth, the Dathomiri escaped Peridea on Star Wars' space whales before the concept of time was established. It is possible that they fled to the main Star Wars galaxy to escape the Mortis gods.

Time on Mortis is complex, which suggests that the worship of the gods on Peridea may have occurred several millennia ago. It is unclear if Baylan was seen on Peridea or Mortis, but the people who worshipped these gods could have been massacred by the Dathomiri, angering the gods and prompting the witches to flee. The headless statue of the Daughter could symbolize her murder by the Son. She was the first of the Mortis gods to die and the only one to be killed. The exact timing of when the head fell off the statue is unknown, but if it coincided with the Daughter's death, the events of the Clone Wars era have a direct impact on Peridea.

Ahsoka Was Resurrected By The Daughter's Sacrifice

In The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano was killed by the Son when he determined that she had fulfilled her purpose. Anakin Skywalker pleaded with the Father to save his Padawan, and in her dying moment, the essence of the Daughter was transferred into Ahsoka, bringing her back to life. This event has since caused Ahsoka to become more closely connected to the light side of the Force, and it explains why she is often accompanied by the owl Morai. Morai, like the Daughter, shares her colors of white and pale green.

Despite Ahsoka's strong alignment with the light side of the Force, she still carries traces of darkness within her. This darkness was evident in episode 4 of Ahsoka, during her first encounter with Baylan Skoll on Seatos. However, it seemed clear that Ahsoka was always meant to follow the path of the light side. This was particularly evident when she took on the title of "Ahsoka the White." Her wisdom allows her to embody the light, and her ability to move past her past mistakes and guilt shows that she is more like the Daughter than ever before.

The Daughter's Head Is Missing... Because Her Replacement Is Yet To Be Revealed

There are theories suggesting that Ahsoka is preparing to replace the Mortis gods with new characters. The statues of the Father and Son indicate that their replacements have been identified, speculating that Baylan Skoll or Anakin Skywalker could assume the Father's role, while Shin Hati might represent the Son. However, the replacement for the Daughter has not been revealed, but it is widely believed to be Ahsoka Tano, as she carries the essence of the Daughter within her. It appears that Ahsoka is destined to assume her role as she delves into the cosmic Force.
