Attention: This article contains SPOILERS for Ahsoka.
After seven weeks and eight episodes, Ahsoka has come to an end. Or, at least, at the end of the first season. The new proposal of Star Wars has dazzled fans of the franchise with an epic story that connects with a multitude of projects. Throughout the chapters, tribute has been paid to the original trilogy, the prequels, The Clone Wars and Rebels, and even to Mandoverse. But, in addition, he has narrated a very interesting plot that, at last, has concluded.
The eighth episode of the series, available on Disney+came under the premise that Ahsoka, Ezra and Sabine They had met again in the wastelands of Peridea. Together, they had to reach the fortress where the Grand Admiral Thrawn he took refuge. From there, the villain was loading a mysterious cargo onto his large imperial destroyer. Once done, his plan was to jump into hyperspace with the Eye of Zion and return, after nine years of exile, to the main galaxy of Star Wars. That conflict is what has been addressed in the final chapter.
Zombies, witches and a Jedi
When the three protagonists reach the fortress, they are greeted by a squad of Stormtroopers. These aslate soldiers have been sent by Thrawn to waste their time. Already in the previous chapter the villain made it clear that the objective was to entertain the Jedi long enough so that they would not reach the ship in time, leaving them trapped in Peridea as he has been for so long.
Since the group of soldiers is small, Ahsoka, Ezra and Sabine They defeat them without any difficulty. But that was the plan Thrawn. The blue antagonist then meets with the three Great Mothers of the Nightsisters and asks them for help. These sorceresses quickly understand the admiral’s wishes and together they pronounce a dark spell. The result is that the corpses of the stormtroopers rise, deranged, and attack again. This time they seem immune to blows and shots, so the heroes have no choice but to flee.
This may surprise casual viewers, but fans more versed in the universe Star Wars They will have immediately recognized the scene. The Nightsisters’ resurrection powers have appeared in the franchise before. In the acclaimed animated series The Clone Wars, the witches of Dathomir raised their fallen sisters to form a dangerous fighting army. And the same thing happened in the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on the same planet. The zombies are old acquaintances of the saga, although this is the first time they appear in a production live-action.
Furthermore, these living dead become headed by a Morgan Elsbeth that has increased his powers. At the beginning of the chapter, the Great Mothers decide to reward her for her efforts by endowing her with the strength of the Nightsisters. In turn, they summon the Sword of Talzin. This weapon belonged to the Mother Talzin, protector and leader of the sect on Dathomir. With her, Elsbeth attacks Ahsokaeven destroying one of his two lightsabers.
While the togruta fights the witch, Ezra and Sabine They flee until they are intercepted by two other soldiers, this time Death Troopers. Like the rest of the army, these are also dead, which makes them even more fearsome. One of them manages to grab the Mandalorian by her neck and begins to suffocate her. It is then that one of the subplots of Ahsoka. Sabine, desperate, raises her hand in the direction of her lightsaber. And she, for the first time, manages to use her Force to attract her and kill the zombie. After many failed attempts, the young woman has learned what it takes to master the mystical energy of Star Wars.
The fate of Ahsoka and Sabine
In the final stages of the fight, Sabine and Ezra They manage to reach Thrawn’s ship. The padawan of Ahsoka Force pushes her friend so he can enter, but she stays to help her teacher. The warrior is about to fall under the sword of Elsbeth and the zombie blasters. But once the two join forces, they manage to kill the Nightsister and escape the undead before the fortress completely crumbles. In their ship, they go at full speed to the destroyer of their great enemy, but unfortunately they do not arrive in time.
In fact, Thrawn He gloats about his defeat. “Perhaps this is the place for a ‘ronin’ like you. Today the victory is mine. Long live the Empire,” says the evil villain just before jumping into hyperspace. So, Ahsoka and Sabine They are trapped in the new galaxy, with no possibility of returning. However, the former is not particularly worried. Back in Peridea, she spots Moraithe bird with which she became friends and which, in reality, keeps the essence of the daughter, of the Gods of Mortis. The Light Side of the Force is with them, no matter what happens in the future.
And so is Anakin Skywalker. His Force ghosting is what ends the series. In the middle of the night, both Sabine as Ahsoka They perceive it, although they cannot see it. But he is watching them, smiling. The Chosen One is proud of what his former apprentice has become. This, meanwhile, reassures Sabine when explaining to him that his mission was to return to Ezra home, and that’s what they’ve done. As of now, their future is uncertain, although they will probably try to find a way to get back together with him.
Ezra, the New Republic and Thrawn’s plans
For its part, Ezra He manages to disguise himself as a stormtrooper before the trip to go unnoticed on the ship. Thrawn. Once they reach their destination, the Jedi manages to take a ship and flee to the headquarters of the New Republic. There he is received by a group of allies including Hera and Chopper. Given her outfit, everyone is scared at first. But the droid quickly realizes who is under the armor.
When the helmet is removed, a stunned Hera welcomes you. And it is that Ezra Not only will he have to catch up on what has happened in the galaxy in the last nine years, but he will have to help prepare for the war against Thrawn. Because the villain has returned, fulfilling the worst fears of the new regime in the galaxy. And without Ahsoka neither Sabinethe Republic is going to need all the Jedi help it can get.
Because the plans Thrawn They are fearsome. When it leaves light speed, the Eye of Sion reaches none other than Dathomir. This reddish planet was the home of the Nightsisters for generations. Everything indicates that it will be there where the three surviving Great Mothers settle. But, with them travels the shipment of Thrawn, a huge amount of what appear to be coffins. And that would be the imperial strategy. To restore the dictatorship under his command, he will ask the witches to resurrect all those corpses on Dathomir. With his new army of zombies, he would set out to conquer the entire galaxy as Heir to the Empire.
Finally, the two characters who also continue their journey are Baylan Skoll and his apprentice, Shin Hati. Both are in Peridea, like Ahsoka and Sabine. Hati manages to find the bloodthirsty nomads who inhabit the planet, settling with them. It is possible that in the future, he will meet the two heroines again in a new confrontation. But the one who has attracted the most attention has been Skoll.
The character of the deceased Ray Stevenson He is searching for an incredible mysterious power that calls to him and, according to him, would put an end to the alternating cycle between the Light Side and the Dark Side. The fallen Jedi has found his way, as he finds himself on top of a huge statue of the Jedi. Father, the main deity of the Mortis trio. Therefore, it is clear that what Skoll search in Ahsoka It is something closely linked to the Force and these powerful beings.
The statue points in one direction with its hand. In the distance, a light flickers. It is the destination to which the character is heading. And although it is unknown what will be there, there are two main theories. On the one hand, it could be the origin of the Force itself. The Gods of Morits represent the Light Side (the daughter), the dark side (The son) and balance (the father). Maybe Skoll has found the birth of this power and from there is able to control it completely. Something that would endanger the stability of the universe.
The second theory is not much more optimistic. Skoll could be heading to the prison of the fourth being of Mortis, Mother. This figure is not part of the current canon of Star Warsbut it has been treated in the expanded universe (Legends). Maybe Dave Filoni has decided to return it to the official history of the saga. Mother She was a mortal who lived with the three Gods. But she, jealous of their divine nature, tried to seize the power of the Dark Side and the Light Side. The result was that she became a monster of chaos and mass destruction called Abeloth. Between the three Gods they managed to retain her and lock her up. How the three Gods of Mortis died in The Clone WarsYeah Skoll find Mother and releases it, again, the entire universe would be in danger.
Will there be a second season of Ahsoka?
As you can see, Ahsoka has concluded with a very open ending. Neither the story of the protagonists nor that of the villains has been resolved yet. Therefore, it would be expected that since Star Wars a second season is confirmed. However, Lucasfilm has not yet spoken. It is true that the series has been very popular, but the company has not announced anything about its continuation. In any case, given the good reception of the proposal and, above all, how important everything seems to be in the future of the franchise, it is logical to think that it is only a matter of time before this happens.
If you receive the green light, the second season of Ahsoka would focus above all on its two great heroines, trapped in Peridea. She could also inquire into the future of Shi Hati and of Baylan Skoll, although with the latter the question arises as to how they will be able to do it after the sad death of their actor. Regarding the plot of Ezra, Thrawnthe New Republic and the Empire, is rumored to be the synopsis of the film he will direct Filoni to put an end to Mandoverse. The film does not have a release date, but it is speculated that it could be one of the two film projects that Star Wars announced for 2026.
