Ahsoka, available on Disney+, has not stopped referencing other projects Star Wars in any of its episodes. So many connections have made some viewers feel a little lost, although die-hard fans have celebrated every new detail. One of the last came in the epilogue of the eighth episode that ended the first season. It is the outcome of Baylan Skollthe character played by the deceased Ray Stevenson.
Throughout the series, Skoll He introduced himself as a fallen Jedi who worked as a mercenary for Morgan Elsbeth. Together with his apprentice Shin Hati helped find the Grand Admiral Thrawn in Peridea. But his true objective went further. “What I’m looking for is a beginning to end this cycle once and for all,” she revealed to Hati in reference to the alternation in the power of the Dark Side and the Light Side. That mysterious “beginning” was in the new galaxy, hidden in the remote planet.
“There is something that calls me. Don’t you hear it? There is something that stirs me. Don’t you see it?” he also suggested to his apprentice. Finally, both end up parting ways. And in the final scenes of Ahsoka, Skoll seems to have found his destiny. The villain stands on top of a gigantic statue that points to the horizon. In the distance is a flickering light, the power the warrior desperately seeks. Just by seeing the statue for a brief moment, fans of The Clone Wars They have already found the definitive clue.
The Gods of Mortis
Skoll is perched on the statue of a divinity known as the father. This is the main figure of the Gods of Mortisa trio that completes the daughter and The son. These three deities are such powerful beings linked to the Force that they are the representation of said energy. The daughter It is linked to the Light Side. The son symbolizes the Dark Side. AND the father He is the one who keeps both in balance.
Before Ahsokathe Gods of Mortis had not appeared in a live-action of Star Wars, but yes in animation. In fact, in one of the narrative arcs of The Clone Wars, Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan They reach Mortis and visit them. Over there, the father confirm to Skywalker as the Chosen One who will establish balance in the Force. Therefore, he asks her to be his successor, although the young Jedi rejects him. On the other hand, the protagonists of the series are involved in the constant dispute between the daughter and The son.
Ahsoka is the new series from the Star Wars universe that you can only see on Disney+
He longs to escape from Mortis and plans to kill to the father. But, when he goes to attack him with the Dagger of Mortis, the daughter he intervenes, dying in his place. Later, the Son corrupts Anakin showing him his future like Darth Vaderbut the father He manages to erase those visions from his memory. In the end, the latter decides to sacrifice himself, since if he dies, The son will cease to be immortal. So, the father the Dagger is stabbed and, when The son realizes what happened, Anakin He pierces him with his lightsaber. Skywalker, without intending to, has restored balance to Mortis. And just before fading, the father predicts that he will fulfill his destiny in the galaxy.
As can be seen, these three mystical beings have existed for a long time and are closely related to the Force. They were even capable of using it to take on different forms, such as monsters or gigantic beings. For example, before dying, the daughter transfers its essence to Moraithe bird that befriends Ahsoka and that appears in the end of the new series about the togruta. Although the Gods of Mortis died and are now part of legend, their legacy is very great. And that’s what Skoll I would be looking in Peridea.
At the moment it is unknown what Skoll could be about to find. But the character is at the top of the trio of statues of the Gods of Mortis (although the daughter appears decapitated), so it surely has to do with them and the Force. One possibility is that the antagonist is searching for the very origin of that legendary energy. Perhaps it was in Peridea where the Force was born, giving way to the three gods. From there, Skoll he could control it completely and become the most powerful being in the history of the galaxy.
A second alternative arises from the expanded universe of Legends. In it, there was a fourth figure, Mother. Only this one was deadly. Therefore, she decided to drink from the Source of Power that she gave her. to the son the Dark Side, and bathe in the Pool of Knowledge that gave him the daughter the Light Side. But, instead of becoming a goddess, the Mother was transformed into a terrible monster, Abeloth. It generated chaos and destruction wherever it went. For this reason, the Gods of Mortis imprisoned her. And that prison may now be in Peridea. Maybe Skoll is trying to reach her and free her. Something that will be explored in a second season of Ahsokaor maybe in comics and novels Star Wars.
