The Untold Truth Behind Ahsoka's Secrets in Star Wars

The Ahsoka series trailer raises doubts about Star Wars' portrayal of the titular character. Ahsoka has long been depicted as a lone warrior fighting for justice in the galaxy, as seen in The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels where she served as Fulcrum, a vital intelligence operative for the early Rebel Alliance. Her story in the Star Wars universe has primarily revolved around the New Republic era, involving her search for Grand Admiral Thrawn and her mission to locate the missing Jedi Ezra Bridger. In The Mandalorian timeline, Ahsoka's journey will delve into the beloved character's pursuit of peace. However, despite her altruistic actions, the Ahsoka trailer suggests that Lucasfilm may still be concealing her true status as a Jedi.

Lucasfilm Is Insisting Ahsoka Still ISN'T A Jedi

The mixed information arises from the discrepancies between Dave Filoni's recent statements and the Ahsoka trailer. The trailer portrays Ahsoka's journey with the tagline "Warrior, Outcast, Rebel, Jedi", all of which could be applicable to her experiences leading up to her own show. Throughout the Clone Wars, she was a warrior, an outcast from the Jedi Order, a Rebel aiding Phoenix Squadron, and remained true to the Jedi ideals. However, the Jedi aspect is where inconsistencies arise, as Filoni recently emphasized that Ahsoka still does not consider herself a Jedi.

In a recent interview with Empire, Filoni explained that in Ahsoka, the Togruta protagonist acts more as a lone wanderer. He specifically highlighted Ahsoka's lingering mistrust towards various organizations, including the Jedi, especially due to their actions during the Clone Wars, which caused her to lose faith in their role as peacekeepers. These statements directly contradict the portrayal of Ahsoka as a Jedi in the trailer and the title of The Mandalorian season 2, episode 5.

What Does Ahsoka's Tagline Refer To?

The tagline for Ahsoka could be seen from a different perspective, suggesting that Lucasfilm's marketing may be more of a misdirection rather than a false statement about Ahsoka's Jedi status. This alternative interpretation is connected to the other main characters in Ahsoka's story, specifically the Ghost crew from Star Wars Rebels. It has been confirmed that Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren will make appearances, along with Ezra Bridger in a role that is shrouded in mystery.

By considering these three characters alongside Ahsoka, the trailer tagline takes on a different meaning. The terms "warrior," "outcast," "rebel," and "Jedi" can be attributed to Sabine, Ahsoka, Hera, and Ezra, respectively. Sabine, being a Mandalorian, embodies the essence of a warrior ingrained in her culture. Ahsoka, having been cast out from the Jedi Order, certainly fits the description of an outcast, aligning with Filoni's portrayal of her as a lone wanderer. Hera, as a leader in Star Wars Rebels and a captain of the Rebel Alliance, epitomizes rebellion. And lastly, Ezra, with his potential as a Jedi, easily fits the description in relation to Ahsoka.
