The Mind-Blowing Dark Side Revelation Unveiled by Ahsoka in Star Wars History

This article contains spoilers for episode 3 of Ahsoka. There is growing evidence suggesting that the Ahsoka Disney+ TV show is presenting the most significant dark side narrative in the Star Wars saga. Starring Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, this show is making a dramatic impact on the established Star Wars canon. The central plot revolves around an ancient starmap, revealed by Morgan Elsbeth, that supposedly leads to Peridea. It remains uncertain if Peridea refers to an entire galaxy or a specific planet within that galaxy. Nevertheless, the vast scope of Ahsoka is truly astounding.

For the first time, Star Wars fully embraces the concept of intergalactic storytelling. While the previous Expanded Universe (now considered non-canon or "Legends") briefly explored this idea through the introduction of the Yuuzhan Vong, a warrior race who seemed to have originated from another galaxy, they were ultimately revealed to be a threat native to the Star Wars galaxy, albeit exiled and separated from the Force for thousands of years. In contrast, Ahsoka appears to be paving the way for a journey to an entirely different galaxy, further suggesting that this is the most significant dark side narrative in the history of Star Wars.

7 Ahsoka Has Revealed The Galaxies Used To Be Connected

The revelation by Ahsoka uncovers the fact that the galaxies were once interconnected, with hyperspace routes tracing back to the migratory paths of purrgil, the enigmatic creatures known as "space whales" in the Star Wars universe. These extraordinary beings possess the ability to consume a hyperfuel named Clouzon-36. Ancient legends allude to the existence of races that traversed between galaxies, and while the Jedi were familiar with one such fabled journey to a place called Peridea, Morgan Elsbeth hints at the existence of other undocumented tales. These myths have been substantiated through Morgan's recovery of a long-lost starmap, which will guide her towards the elusive Peridea.

6 The Language Of Ahsoka's Starmap Is Linked To The Sith

Ahsoka's credits reveal key planets marked on this starmap, written in a language that is fully translatable. This language holds significant importance, potentially surpassing the significance of the mentioned planets. It is believed to be connected to a language known as ur-Kittât, which holds a notorious reputation for its association with the Sith. The existence of ur-Kittât predates the Sith, with references indicating its origins as the Old Tongue, adopted by various older dark side cults. However, Delilah S. Dawson's Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade disturbingly revealed that ur-Kittât itself is deeply infused with the dark side of the Force. This mysterious language beckons to those who decipher it, stoking the fires of passion within them. If ur-Kittât was indeed the language of Peridea, then it suggests that this location must possess a considerable dark side presence.

5 Nightsister Magick Is Able To Interact With Ahsoka's Starmap

In Ahsoka episode 2, Morgan Elsbeth manages to activate the starmap at the reflex point, enabling her to navigate to Peridea. This episode also reveals that she belongs to the Nightsisters of Dathomir, a unique group capable of manipulating the dark side in ways that surpass even the abilities of the Sith. Notably, the Nightsister magick is characterized by its vibrant green flames, and it is noteworthy that Morgan summons this energy to interact with and trigger the starmap. This suggests a potential connection between Nightsister magick and the ancient technology of Peridea, implying a plausible origin for their powers beyond the galaxy, which might explain their stark contrast to the abilities of the Jedi and Sith.

4 Purrgil Inspired Ancient Dark Side Wayfinders

Purrgil have always captivated audiences, and recent revelations show just how influential they have been in the (inter-)galactic chronicles. As per the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary, in-depth study of purrgil brain chemistry served as the inspiration for the development of the initial wayfinders - the ominous devices that led Kylo Ren and Rey to Exegol. However, Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 2, episode 5 shed light on the fact that wayfinders existed even before the Sith. In this episode, Clone Force 99 stumbled upon a proto-wayfinder, which guided them to a location housing a structure predating both the Jedi and the Republic. Interestingly, this structure concealed a formidable dark side superweapon.

3 Ancient Wayfinders Have Been Linked To Mysterious Dark Side Superweapons

The connection provided by the wayfinder serves as an additional piece of evidence, further suggesting that the ancient beings from different galaxies had a strong affinity for the dark side of the Force. During their expedition, Clone Force 99 stumbled upon a colossal walker of mysterious origins. This formidable machine was equipped with a superlaser of immense power, which was fueled by unique crystals that functioned in a slightly distinct manner compared to kyber crystals. It is conceivable that this extraordinary superweapon originated from beyond the confines of the known galaxy, hinting at the future introduction of an entirely new galactic sphere.

2 Palpatine Sensed A Source Of The Dark Side That May Be Beyond The Galaxy

Content may be discovered by looking back at Chuck Wendig's "Aftermath" trilogy, which was one of the first novels released after Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012. Surprisingly, these books have proved to be significant in the Star Wars canon, sometimes unintentionally. They even gave hints about Palpatine's resurrection years before it was confirmed in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

In a particular scene, one of Palpatine's closest advisers remembered the Dark Times of the Emperor's rule. He recalled how Palpatine became captivated by a mystical song that he sensed through the Force, believing it originated from the very essence of the dark side.

Content must be written in English:

Feeling certain that something awaited him, the Emperor believed it to be the origin of the Force, a sinister presence made of malevolent substance. He claimed to sense its waves emanating now that the path was clear, referring to it as a signal only he could perceive. Surprisingly, even his most loyal enforcer Vader seemed unaware of it, despite his proclaimed mastery over the dark Force. Rax, however, suspected that Palpatine had lost his sanity.

Palpatine's attention focused on the Unknown Regions, a vast uncharted expanse between the galaxy's core and its outer reaches. However, there was a possibility that what he was sensing came from an even more distant source - a beckoning from Peridea.
