Unveiling the Mind-Blowing Theory: Ahsoka's Marrok Twist Exposed!

Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for Ahsoka episode 6.

Summary

Marrok's actual persona as an Inquisitor formed through the utilization of Nightsister sorcery astonishes fans and dismantles their conjectures, mirroring Supreme Leader Snoke's role in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Likewise, Captain Enoch, a character intricately linked to Thrawn, may also be an outcome of Nightsister magick, as indicated by his masked visage and altered voice.

Thrawn's entire army, which includes the Night Troopers, has the potential to be an army of undead beings created by the powerful magick of the Nightsisters. This sets the stage for an exciting battle in the future.

Ahsoka appears to be following a similar pattern with Captain Enoch as it did with Marrok. The identity of Marrok was a heavily discussed topic leading up to the release of Ahsoka and throughout the first few episodes. His mask sparked numerous theories, reminiscent of the speculation surrounding Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. At first, Marrok appeared to be the last remaining Inquisitor under Darth Vader, with no further information available.

In episode 4 of Ahsoka, the truth about Marrok was finally unveiled. During a lightsaber battle with Ahsoka, things took a deadly turn for him. Ahsoka delivered a devastating blow to his armor, causing him to collapse on the ground with green smoke emanating from his body. It was then revealed that Marrok had been a wielder of the dark Nightsister magic all along.

Marrok's Identity Reveal Broke Every Fan Theory

Ahsoka's revelation about Marrok completely overturned all existing theories. For weeks, viewers had been speculating and compiling lists of possible characters who could have been hiding behind Marrok's mask. Some popular contenders included Ezra Bridger, Galen "Starkiller" Marek from Legends, and even Barriss Offee, the Jedi Padawan who betrayed Ahsoka during the Clone Wars.

None of these characters turned out to be Marrok, just like Snoke was not someone familiar. Interestingly, his armor bears a resemblance to that of the Eighth Brother, an Inquisitor who was killed in Star Wars Rebels. This similarity could suggest that he was brought back to life using Nightsister magic, but even that is not confirmed. This unexpected twist may not be the last surprise that viewers will see in Ahsoka's story.

Is Captain Enoch Someone Kept Alive By The Nightsisters Too?

Grand Admiral Thrawn collaborates with the Nightsisters while on Peridea, and they appear to have faced difficulties. Thrawn openly acknowledges that his army has diminished during his exile. Given Thrawn's close association with the Dathomiri Great Mothers, it is possible that they have utilized their magic to resurrect one of Thrawn's soldiers, similar to what they did with Marrok: Captain Enoch, portrayed by Wes Chatham.

Both men wear masks that not only conceal their faces, but also heavily distort their voices. This might be a result of their composition of Nightsister magic, which means they lack a true face or identity. Towards the end of Ahsoka episode 6, Thrawn seeks assistance from the Great Mothers' dark magic "once again," indicating that they have previously lent him such magic.

Meanwhile, it's worth mentioning the origins of Captain Enoch's name: in biblical lore, Enoch was a righteous individual who maintained a strong relationship with God and was granted immortality. Expanding upon this, the Apocrypha delves deeper, presenting Enoch as the esteemed leader of the archangels and the guardian of celestial knowledge. This alignment is highly fitting for Captain Enoch - and may even foreshadow a captivating revelation in Ahsoka.

Is Thrawn's Entire Army Actually Undead?

Undeniably mighty, the Great Mothers possess the ability to create Thrawn's formidable army of Night Troopers using their own mystical powers. Their name establishes a direct link to the Nightsisters, seamlessly blending the essence of darkness with the esteemed title of stormtrooper. Furthermore, the crimson fabric adorning their armor potentially serves as proof of this connection, paying homage to the Dathomiri while potentially binding their spirits to their fragmented armor.

Star Wars has previously featured an undead army known as the Death Troopers of Legends. In that storyline, they were infected by a virus. Ahsoka could potentially adopt a similar concept, using Nightsister magic instead. The Nightsisters themselves had even created their own army of the dead in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, adding yet another layer to the theme of resurrection. Thrawn, who has had ample time to plan his return to the Star Wars galaxy, appears to have formed an alliance with the Nightsisters, implying a significant partnership. He has begun loading Nightsister coffins onto his Imperial Star Destroyer, the Chimaera, obtained from the catacombs of Peridea, as a gesture of his gratitude for their assistance. Given the unpredictable nature of Ahsoka's story, the introduction of an undead army would seamlessly fit into the impending battle.
