The Ahsoka Disney+ TV show premieres on August 23rd and will address 10 pivotal questions. Rosario Dawson portrays Ahsoka Tano, the former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka, a Force-sensitive Togruta, departed from the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. Although she initially sparked controversy upon her introduction in 2008, she has evolved into a beloved character among fans, transitioning from animation to live-action seamlessly.
According to Dave Filoni of Lucasfilm, the Ahsoka TV show is essentially Star Wars Rebels season 5. Not only will it showcase a live-action Ahsoka Tano, but it will also feature other characters from Star Wars Rebels. Natasha Liu Bordizzo will portray Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren, while Mary Elizabeth Winstead has been cast as Rebel General Hera Syndulla. With this continuation comes numerous narrative plotlines that require resolution. The following are the key questions that the Ahsoka Disney+ TV show aims to answer.
9 What Has Ahsoka Been Doing Since Star Wars Rebels?
8 Does Sabine Have The Force?
: Ahsoka's whereabouts during the Star Wars original trilogy have remained a mystery as Star Wars Rebels concluded. After a harrowing encounter with Darth Vader himself, Ahsoka managed to survive thanks to a enigmatic dimension known as the World Between Worlds, only to vanish soon after. Following the end of the Galactic Civil War, she resurfaced in The Mandalorian season 2 and later made a visit to Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's Jedi Temple on Ossus in The Book of Boba Fett. However, the question lingers: Where has Ahsoka been for all this time and what led her to refrain from joining the war against the Empire?
Trailers for Ahsoka have hinted that Ahsoka might have been guiding her fellow rebel Sabine Wren in the ways of the Jedi. Being a Jedi doesn't necessarily require the ability to use the Force, as evidenced by Master Yoda, who has trained students without Force potential. It's plausible that Ahsoka has been educating Sabine in Jedi customs, even if she doesn't possess a connection to the Force. It would be highly unlikely for Sabine to retroactively be revealed as Force-sensitive in Star Wars Rebels, as this would imply that none of her Jedi companions had ever noticed.
7 How Did Baylan Survive Order 66?
Ahsoka will introduce two new villains, Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. Baylan, confirmed as a survivor of Order 66, was once a Jedi who turned into a mercenary following the rise of the Empire. Trailers suggest that Baylan had a connection with Ahsoka's master, Anakin Skywalker, indicating his involvement in the front lines of the Clone Wars. It is hoped that Ahsoka will delve into Baylan's past and shed light on how he managed to survive Order 66, despite being a prime target for the clone troopers.
6 Where is Ezra Bridger?
Ezra Bridger, the beloved Padawan of Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus, has conspicuously been absent from the released footage of Ahsoka, the highly anticipated series from Star Wars Rebels. Fans have eagerly been awaiting news about Ezra's fate, as he was last seen disappearing alongside Grand Admiral Thrawn in the gripping finale of Star Wars Rebels. To everyone's excitement, it has now been officially confirmed that Eman Asfandi will be portraying the live-action version of Ezra Bridger. Merchandise inspired by Asfandi's likeness has already hit the shelves, further fueling speculation about Ezra's role in Ahsoka. However, whether he will be reunited with his friends remains uncertain.
5 Who is the Mystery Inquisitor?
The Inquisitors, Darth Vader's formidable agents, were skilled practitioners of the dark side on a mission to hunt down Jedi. Ahsoka trailers recently unveiled a fresh addition to the Inquisitor lineup - a survivor of the Galactic Civil War. Speculation about this Inquisitor's identity had been rife, with many suggesting a possible connection to the familiar character Ezra Bridger. However, these theories have seemingly been disproven by the revelation that the Inquisitor goes by the name Marrok. Similar to Baylan and Shin, Marrok is a hired mercenary, assisting Imperial Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth in her relentless pursuit of Thrawn. Delving deeper, who exactly is this Inquisitor? How did he manage to endure the harrowing trials of the Galactic Civil War? And above all, what might be his personal motives?
4 How Will Grand Admiral Thrawn Factor Into the Show?
Playing the role of the live-action Grand Admiral Thrawn is Lars Mikkelsen, the military strategist who was last seen in the finale of Star Wars Rebels. Now, both Ahsoka and Elsbeth are on a mission to find him. While Thrawn's role in Ahsoka may be limited, the Disney+ TV show will serve as a precursor to his appearance in an upcoming Star Wars movie directed by Dave Filoni himself. However, it is crucial for Ahsoka to provide an understanding of where Thrawn has been all these years and to establish the magnitude of the threat he poses.
3 What Role Will The Purrgil Have?
The Star Wars universe features a remarkable species known as purrgil, often referred to as hyperspace whales. These magnificent creatures played a pivotal role in the defeat of Thrawn in Star Wars Rebels, as Ezra called upon them to transport Thrawn's flagship into the mysterious Unknown Regions. Although glimpses of purrgil can be seen in certain shots from the Ahsoka trailer, their purpose and significance remain unclear. One possible explanation is that purrgil possess specific migration routes, prompting the Ghost crew to seek them out in hopes of hitching a ride and uncovering their destinations.
2 Will Din Djarin Appear in Ahsoka?
Portrayed primarily by Pedo Pascal, Din Djarin serves as the central protagonist during The Mandalorian era. Speculation has been rife about the potential appearance of this Mandalorian warrior (accompanied by his adopted son Grogu) in Ahsoka; however, no official confirmation has been provided thus far. Considering that Ahsoka and The Mandalorian season 3 run concurrently, it is probable that any potential cameo would take place in the final episode.
1 Who Are Grand Admiral Thrawn's Allies?
Grand Admiral Thrawn, a masterful strategist, has emerged as a formidable antagonist in the current Star Wars era. Surprising concept art of Ahsoka showcases Thrawn standing on a captivating golden bridge, unlike anything seen in the Empire or the Unknown Regions. This intriguing imagery suggests that Thrawn has established alliances during his years, potentially leading powerful military forces, the extent of which remain unseen. Further teasers have also hinted at Thrawn's collaboration with "intergalactic" factions, a truth that Ahsoka may uncover and disclose.
