The Unveiling of Ahsoka: How She Holds the Fate of Star Wars' Future

Summary

Ahsoka and Sabine's relationship and their roles as masters and apprentices are central themes in Ahsoka, with Ahsoka passing on Anakin Skywalker's teachings to Sabine.

The location of the missing Jedi, Ezra Bridger, remains undisclosed, heightening his friends' motivation. Ezra's role in a momentous danger amid the Galactic Empire conflict holds significant potential for the Star Wars saga, transcending the era of the New Republic. Ahsoka will pave the way for the forthcoming events.

A missing Jedi in Ahsoka holds the key to the future of Star Wars. Ahsoka's marketing campaign has heavily focused on the bond between Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren, with Sabine revealed as a Jedi in training. The series centers around the relationship between masters and apprentices, showcasing the transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next. Dave Filoni, the creator and showrunner, has explained that the show reflects how Anakin Skywalker's teachings endure in Ahsoka and are then passed on to Sabine.

The TV spot for Ahsoka featured the tag line "A New Jedi Will Rise," leaving viewers curious about whether it refers to Ahsoka or Sabine. While they search for Grand Admiral Thrawn, the pair will work on mending their strained relationship. Sabine's Jedi training suggests she is on the path to becoming the next Mandalorian Jedi. On the other hand, Ahsoka's journey is leading her towards something different, possibly building up to her transformation into "Ahsoka the White," as seen in the Star Wars Rebels epilogue. Although Sabine will undoubtedly have a significant role in the future of the Jedi and Star Wars, it is Ahsoka's missing friend who will ultimately prove to be the crucial element.

Ezra Bridger's Whereabouts Are Being Hidden

Since being taken into hyperspace alongside Thrawn by purrgil in the Rebels series finale, Ezra Bridger's whereabouts have remained unknown. Filoni recently confirmed that both characters survived the encounter, with Thrawn serving as tangible evidence. While Thrawn has made brief appearances in Ahsoka marketing material, Ezra has only been seen through a hologram during the Rebels era. So far, there has been no discussion among the characters regarding Ezra's location in any released footage. However, the cast and crew have hinted that his absence plays a pivotal role in motivating his friends.

Apart from the impact on the story, Filoni understands that keeping Ezra's location under wraps is essential for the audience's viewing experience. Star Wars fans have eagerly sought information about Ezra for the past five years, and revealing it through marketing would diminish the anticipation. The upcoming Ahsoka series will eventually address burning questions about Ezra's current appearance, his development as a Jedi, where he is, and what he's been up to. For the sake of Ahsoka and the future of the Star Wars franchise as a whole, the truth about Ezra Bridger's fate must remain a closely guarded secret.

What Ezra Has Been Up To Will Mark A New Beginning For Star Wars

One does not conceal Ezra's whereabouts and activities unless there is a highly compelling motive. In the fictional universe, Ezra has been absent from the known galaxy for at least ten years. Ahsoka had vowed to find him, but if Ezra had the means to return home, he would have done so independently. The same applies to Thrawn, although the Grand Admiral has stronger incentives to remain concealed and gather forces. It is possible that Ezra became embroiled in a situation that demanded his aid or was beckoned to the Unknown Regions by the Force.

The threat that requires Ezra's involvement while a war against the Galactic Empire rages is unprecedented in the Star Wars franchise. By unveiling what Ezra has discovered and depicting his growth as a Jedi, the uncharted region of space he currently occupies could become a recurring setting in future stories. While Grand Admiral Thrawn will serve as the antagonist in Filoni's The Mandalorian movie, if Ezra's conflict is not directly connected to the Chiss, it will extend beyond the era of the New Republic. Ezra Bridger holds the key to the future of Star Wars, and Ahsoka will lay the groundwork for all that is to come.
