The Mind-Blowing Star Wars: The Clone Wars Connection You Missed in Ahsoka's Epic Finale

Highlights

The season finale of Ahsoka leaves fans with more questions than answers, with the final scene hinting at the future and referencing a past Star Wars series.

The statue Baylan sits on at the end is a portrayal of the Father character in The Clone Wars, suggesting the presence of balance in the Force and foreshadowing future developments in the show. The absence of the Daughter statue raises inquiries about Baylan's role and his potential as a new embodiment of the Force, as well as the importance of these statues on Peridia. As is often the case with Star Wars, answers may not be readily available.

Spoilers lie ahead for the season finale of Ahsoka. Recently, Ahsoka aired its season finale, which typically left Star Wars enthusiasts with more questions than answers. The Disney Plus series concluded with a significant nod to a previous installment in the franchise, in line with its established style. But what implications does this event hold?

Fans of Ray Stevenson's late portrayal of Baylan Skoll on Ahsoka likely spent a considerable portion of episode 8 speculating about the whereabouts of the rugged former Jedi after his disappearance the previous week. Following the exhilarating climax, viewers were granted one final glimpse of the character, striking a dramatic pose atop a colossal statue situated somewhere on Peridia, a distant galaxy where Ahsoka and Sabine ultimately came across Thrawn and Ezra. This particular moment, resembling a scene from The Lord of the Rings, may provide clues about what awaits in the upcoming season of the show. Interestingly enough, it accomplishes this by retrospectively alluding to a past Star Wars series.

As highlighted by The Direct, the statue that Baylan is positioned on represents none other than the Father, a character that fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars should be well-versed in. Adjacent to the Father, there is a similar stone statue of the Son. However, contrary to expectations, the statue of the Daughter, a character familiar to fans, is noticeably in ruins. So, who exactly are these individuals, and how do their statues connect to Ahsoka?

The Father, the Son, and the Daughter made their appearances in a 3-episode storyline of The Clone Wars which took place on the enigmatic planet Mortis. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, accompanied by Ahsoka Tano, were enticed to this location by the Father, who personified equilibrium in the Force. The Son embodied the dark side while the Daughter represented the light side. Throughout the narrative, all three of them met their demise as a result of the perpetual conflict between light and dark. In her final act, the Daughter utilized her remaining life force to resurrect Ahsoka after she was killed by the Son.

However, it appears that the demise of their physical bodies did not mark the end, as Baylan, who wielded an orange lightsaber, had previously mentioned sensing someone or something calling out to him within Ahsoka. The closing scene implies that one of these three entities was responsible. Anakin seemingly achieved balance in the Force on Mortis when he defeated the Son (after the Daughter and Father had already perished), so this focus on equilibrium may have significance in Baylan's future.

There are now numerous unanswered questions regarding Baylan and the Ahsoka series. Is he aspiring to become the Force's new avatar? What is the reason behind the absence of the Daughter? What is the purpose of the statues on the planet Peridia? Additionally, there is speculation about the possible recasting of Baylan following Stevenson's tragic passing. Hopefully, fans will not have to wait too long for these questions to be addressed. Regrettably, this is Star Wars. You can stream Ahsoka season 1 on Disney Plus.
