The Untold Jedi Journey: Anakin's Resurrection Unveils Ahsoka's Epic Adventure

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Ahsoka episode 4.

Summary

Anakin Skywalker's return in Ahsoka episode 4 is a highly anticipated event for viewers, as it marks the first live-action encounter between him and Ahsoka.

An intriguing storyline emerges with Ahsoka's ability to connect with Luke, but not with other Jedi, a mystery that could be unravelled through Anakin's reappearance.

Ahsoka's reunion with Anakin in Ahsoka sheds light on her connection with the Skywalkers, including her relationship with Luke. Anakin Skywalker's return in the series marks the moment when Ahsoka's Jedi story, which had been missing, is finally explained. In a thrilling revelation, Ahsoka's former master appears to her in the World Between Worlds at the end of episode 4, creating a wave of excitement among Star Wars fans worldwide. This live-action meeting between Anakin and Ahsoka is a significant event, considering their past as master and apprentice in animation. With the anticipation building around Ahsoka episode 5 and its limited theatrical release, viewers eagerly await what unfolds next.

The return of Anakin in Ahsoka episode 5 could bring forth the opportunity to explore a long-standing Jedi story Ahsoka has held onto for almost two years. In the aftermath of Order 66, Jedi have become scarce across the galaxy, making it challenging to locate them. However, Ahsoka has managed to come across Luke Skywalker, Anakin's son. Reconnecting with Anakin might provide Ahsoka with the chance to unravel this enigma, as the Anakin she has recently encountered differs from the one she was familiar with during the Clone Wars era.

Ahsoka Is Finally Meeting The Redeemed Anakin Skywalker

Star Wars Still Hasn't Shown How Ahsoka First Met Luke

By the time Ahsoka made her debut as Anakin's Padawan in the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2008, the prequel Star Wars trilogy had already concluded. This revelation left many viewers to accept the reality that Ahsoka and Anakin would never cross paths in live-action since Ahsoka ceased to be a part of his life prior to his fall to the dark side and transformation into Darth Vader. The reuniting of Ahsoka and a redeemed Anakin serves as a poignant conclusion to her story, particularly after her intense duel with Vader in Star Wars Rebels. Nevertheless, this reunion further accentuates the void in Ahsoka's story regarding her connection to the Skywalkers.

In The Book of Boba Fett episode 6, Ahsoka and Luke were spotted together on Ossus. Ahsoka approached Luke with the gift that Din Djarin had brought for Grogu, sparking a conversation about Grogu's training and drawing a parallel to Anakin. Interestingly, this interaction hinted at a prior meeting between Ahsoka and Luke, especially when she referred to herself as "a friend of the family" to Mando. However, Star Wars has yet to reveal how and when Ahsoka and Luke first crossed paths or why they stationed themselves on Ossus, eagerly awaiting Din's arrival. Luke, being the one who could potentially redeem the Anakin that Ahsoka encountered in the World Between Worlds, may hold the key to this enigma.

If Ahsoka didn't catch on to Luke's existence by hearing his last name during her time with the Rebellion, it's possible that Bail Organa informed her about him when he saw her at Padme's funeral in Tales of the Jedi and recruited her for the early Rebellion efforts. He might have seen Ahsoka as someone who could help protect both Luke and Leia if she chose to do so. Maybe she reached out to Luke when she felt the timing was right, especially after he took on Grogu as his first student. The encounter between the redeemed Anakin and Ahsoka in Ahsoka episode 4 could finally provide some clarity on how they actually met, and it may even explain why Ahsoka visited Anakin's son on Ossus. New episodes of Ahsoka are released on Disney+ on Tuesdays at 6 pm PT / 9 pm ET.
