The Ahsoka finale was a blast, but it's fair to say most Star Wars fans walked away at least a little frustrated. With a movie and possible second season on the horizon, it's clear this was meant as the opening chapter of a much bigger story. 

Even knowing there's more on the horizon, it's hard not to wonder what Dave Filoni has planned and why he chose to leave us hanging. These unanswered questions have been bugging us since the credits rolled on Tuesday night and we're now attempting to figure out where we're heading next. 

From Grand Admiral Thrawn's master plan to Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati's future (not to mention the shocking new status quos for Ahsoka's heroes), the dangling plot threads in "The Jedi, the Witch, And The Warlord" need to be addressed! 

That's what we're doing here, so click the "Next" button below to check out our burning Ahsoka questions. 
 

7. What Is Thrawn Taking To Dathomir?

We know Thrawn needed a few days to empty the Nightsisters' temple on Peridea and the sheer number of coffin-like objects the Grand Admiral has in his possession is finally revealed in the finale. 

He and The Great Mothers are heading to Dathomir, a planet almost all the Nightsisters were killed on when Count Dooku and General Grievous attacked them during The Clone Wars. Could these be dead Nightsisters who will be resurrected when they return home? If so, will they now answer to Thrawn as his army of supernatural warriors? 

Another possibility is that these are Stormtroopers. If so, then why haven't they been restored before now? No, Dathomir seems key here and Thrawn seems confident these objects are what will restore the Empire to its former glory. 
 

6. Are Ahsoka And Sabine Trapped On Peridea For Good?

This isn't really being discussed as much as it probably should be, but Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren actually failed their mission in this series. Grand Admiral Thrawn has returned to their Galaxy and, with that, war is now inevitable. 

They seem pretty pleased to have sent Ezra Bridger home, of course, and he'll definitely be a key player in making the New Republic aware of the threat which looms and in stopping his old foe. However, with no way home, are Ahsoka and Sabine permanently trapped?

Probably not. The New Republic could set out to steal the Eye of Sion and if the Purrgil return to Peridea, then Ahsoka can communicate with them again. In other words, this is a hole Dave Filoni can easily write his way out of. 
 

5. What's Next For Shin Hati?

Shin Hati has been a big part of Ahsoka from the start but there's still an awful lot we don't know about the character. While we're sure her past will be fleshed out somewhere down the line, for now, we're far more interested in the Dark Jedi's future. 

In the penultimate episode, Baylan Skoll gave his Padawan permission to go and join Thrawn's new Empire. That seems to be what she wanted, but it appears Shin failed to make it to the Eye of Sion in time and is left behind. Now, she's taken charge of Peridea's native bandits. 

Ahsoka has offered to help her and there's a chance the character will eventually put her evildoing ways behind her. For now, though, we'd bet on Shin causing all sorts of problems for the two stranded Jedi. 
 

4. What's Calling To Baylan On Peridea?

Screenshot-2023-10-05-at-11-35-14-copy

This is perhaps the biggest question of all really, isn't it? Baylan has suggested he only helped Morgan Elsbeth because there was something on Peridea which could grant him unlimited power, though that's still all we know for sure. 

There is a force on the planet it seems The Great Mothers wanted to get away from and aside from showing us statues of The Ones/Mortis Gods, all we see is a beacon in the distance. So, what's calling to this former Jedi? It's clearly something to do with those ancient Force-users and we believe it's The Mother, Abeloth. 

You can read more about her history here but this fourth God-like being may end up being the big bad of Filoni's planned Star Wars movie. If so, she's likely to be a bigger threat to the Galaxy than even Emperor Palpatine...where does this leave Thrawn, though?

"Are Ahsoka And Sabine Trapped On Peridea For Good?" Yes, we are never gonna see them again. How old do you think your readers are?

Yeah, HIGHLY doubt they'd just sideline the title character...

I for one would love a Ezra show. Def didn’t get enough Ezra.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/7/2023, 6:05 PM
@MuadDib - honestly, I kinda want that more than an Ahsoka S2.

It's a nice reversal. An Ezra Bridger show could focus on Thrawn's next step in his masterplan, and Ezra trying to stop or atleast halt it's progress.

A small side story could getting Ahsoka and Sabine back to the core Galaxy. That doesn't need a whole season's worth of attention imo

StSteven - 10/7/2023, 11:18 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Totally agree. Although I didn't get into "The Clone Wars" and "Rebels" because I was busy doing my grad school work and had to be pretty picky about how I spent what little free time I had, I really liked how Ezra was portrayed so far in "Ahsoka". Seemed kinda like how Luke would have been in between "Empire" and "Jedi", except more plucky and upbeat. I could easily see him carrying his own show like you said as a season 2 of "Ahsoka", with everyone's return from the other galaxy as a subplot. Plus, if you think about it, we have "Ahsoka" as a spin-off of "The Mandolorian" so why not "Ezra" as a spin-off of "Ahsoka"?

Ultimately we all know that Filoni is doing his team-up movie and seems to be doing a kind of an "Avengers 1.0/early-Feige" thing where he (and Favreau) have been introducing the characters in their own shows and kind of setting the chessboard for the ultimate team-up movie. And I have to say that so far I think that they're doing a pretty good job. I mean if you think about it so far, we've got Mando and his supporting cast, Boba and his supporting cast, and now Ahsoka, Ezra, Thrawn, etc. So everything seems to be getting into place. And I think that Ezra being the main focus of "Ahsoka S2" (or whatever) would be just what we would need to finish filling in the necessary backstories for everyone to actually give a shit when Fillioni does the team-up movie (plus I have a feeling that Ezra is going to be the Luke/Tony character of that movie). Again, feels very Avengers-ish to me (in a good way).

BTW, remember when I was telling you a while ago about the ghost pepper Whoppers that BK does over here for Halloween? Well they're back and paired with ghost pepper chicken fries. If you want I can grab you one and just smash it into the keyboard and speakers on my laptop so that it makes it way over to you, as that's how I understand the Internet to work 😉.

@StSteven - yeah, aside from a few characters, the board has pretty much been set for Filoni's movie. Only thing that needs a little more set-up are Ezra/Hera, Luke and Din back on Mandalore. All of that can be done in a two seasons of each show.

As for the Whopper, I don't think you have to. BK usually has the same promos here anyway (or atleast, they have promos. Which I assume are the same)
StSteven
StSteven - 10/8/2023, 2:09 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Yeah, we can pretty much assume that all the "new" characters from the D+ shows (i.e. Din, Ahsoka, Ezra, etc.) will be in the movie (Boba likely as well). What I'll be interested in seeing is how many, if any, of the OG characters (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewy, Lando, etc.) they will have in that movie as well. Now that they have the Deep Fake technology down pretty well (not to mention what they can do with Generative AI these days), we've seen them do Luke pretty well(and they did Indy in the recent movie), so with that along with Marvel's de-aging tech they could theoretically do any of the other OG characters (with the obvious exception of Leia but again they could use Gen AI or old footage).

So it's possible to have them in it, the question is whether or not Filoni would want them in it and if so to what degree. My guess is that even if one or more of them are in it, it would be more as cameos so that the focus would be mainly on the new characters, especially if they plan to continue their D+ shows after the movie, which I'm assuming they will to some degree, especially if the movie is a hit.

As for the Whopper... eh, it's already on the way (licks ketchup off his keyboard).
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/8/2023, 2:32 PM
@StSteven - I doubt Harrison Ford is coming back as Han, so I don't think we'll see him. And Leia isn't returning for obvious reasons, although I could see Filoni use Leia as an off-screen means of moving the story (kinda like Leia stepping in to help Hera).

As for Skywalker Saga characters that I do expect to appear are probably gonna be Luke, Chewie and maybe even a young Ben Solo.
StSteven
StSteven - 10/8/2023, 6:33 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Yeah, we'll see. I think (hope) that Filoni is smart enough to only include those characters as long as it serves the story and not just as fan service or to get asses in seats. I have a feeling that there will be some push for him to include as many of the OG characters as he can given the popularity of the Luke appearances in "Mando" so far. I can see LucasFilm pushing Filoni to do it and him having to push back if it doesn't serve the story he's trying to tell, which like I said, I think is going to be mainly centered on the new characters.

I'm also skeptical of how much connective tissue his movie is going to provide to the new sequel trilogy, as I don't think that that is is focus, nor should it be. I think that he should just focus on making the best story that he can with this set of characters at this time in the galaxy and if there is a natural way to connect it to events and characters from the past or future then sure, why not. Just don't FORCE it (see what I did there?).
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/9/2023, 1:33 AM
@StSteven - I think Filoni is gonna get as much free reign as possible. He drops a few hints here and there and that's enough. The books can do the rest
StSteven
StSteven - 10/9/2023, 5:51 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Yeah, hopefully LucasFilm and Disney are smart enough to keep their little mouse paws out of it and let Filoni (and Favreau) do their thing. Been working pretty well so far overall. I think we've had enough Skywalker Saga stuff for a while. Let the D+ crew have a time to shine. They're good enough on their own that they don't need the OG crew to prop them up, at least in my opinion based on what I've seen so far.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/10/2023, 1:30 AM
@StSteven - I definitely agree, but it would be cool if Filoni manages to find a place for them (and that he does them justice)
StSteven
StSteven - 10/10/2023, 4:01 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Oh yeah I agree (loves me some prime time Luke) so let's see what he does with them (if anything). Like, I was a big fan of how Luke was handled in "Mando" so they can do something like that, particularly where he was training Grogu for a short time. And I loved the scene where Luke took down the Death Troopers as much as everyone else, but I don't think we need to have him or any of the other OGs show up and save Ahsola & Co. is what I'm saying. Let them stand on their own and if they happen to cross paths with the OGs then so be it as long as it makes sense and does all the characters justice.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/10/2023, 5:39 PM
@StSteven - exactly. And I do trust Filoni with that
StSteven
StSteven - 10/10/2023, 10:26 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Fingers crossed. Hell, if he and Favreau stick the landing with this first "phase" of the D+ SW universe (or whatever, I just made that up but it's kinda feeling like Phase 1 of the MCU so far), they could theoretically end up doing a trilogy of movies with the intervening D+ shows that could go a long way to filling the gap between "RotJ" and "TFA" and ultimately help flesh out both what happened after the OG trilogy and in the sequel trilogy while still providing a satisfying stand-alone trilogy on its own. It's a daunting task, but I think that between the two of them they could handle it.

Sure, in the case of the sequel trilogy it would kinda be like going back and fixing plot holes or gaps that fans have complained about (such as giving Snoke more of a backstory), but I'm totally for it if it serves to make the whole sequel trilogy that much more complete.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/11/2023, 3:27 AM
@StSteven - a whole saga of tv and movies set between RotJ and TFA could be fun, but I rather see them also spent time outside of that era. Or even outside of that galaxy, now that they have set up the Far Away Galaxy in Ahsoka.
StSteven
StSteven - 10/11/2023, 6:18 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Oh for sure. I think (and this is just me personally) that we have that 30 or whatever year time frame between the OG trilogy and the sequel trilogy which can certainly be fleshed out between shows and movies (but no more than another trilogy of movies headed by Filoni/Favreau) which can be done with the focus being on the "Clone Wars" characters with minor involvement of the OG characters if it makes sense. After that I think we can safely put that era to rest and don't need to try to fill in the cracks with every OG characters' origin stories, etc. Like, I really don't need a "Chewy Begins" movie.

But then (and hopefully at the same time) we can get into stories way before and possibly way after the current era (which it sounds like we're getting with Mangold's movie and "The Acolyte") and then like you said, we can start a whole new series of movies/shows based on all new characters in a whole new galaxy. I think that given the technology and (hopefully the creativity) that LucasFilm has, they can (and should) create a whole new galaxy of characters and locations unlike what we've seen before while still being true to what everyone loves about Star Wars in the first place.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/12/2023, 2:01 AM
@StSteven - I think the books and comics already have done a fairly good job filling in the latter half of those 30 years. Although written media is considered secondary canon, so they always overwrite it with movies and tv.

Wouldn't be surprised though if Mangold's movie already has ties to the Far Away Galaxy though
StSteven
StSteven - 10/12/2023, 4:50 PM
@bkmeijer1 - I'm not really that familiar with the books and comics (I only have so much time to dedicate to my sci-fi you know) but I agree that they are "secondary canon". On the plus side, which all that content they should have a lot to choose from to fill that gap if they decide to try to do that.

And now that you mention it, considering that it takes place so far in the past, Mangold's movie would be the perfect way to move the focus to a new galaxy being as it supposed to focus on the birth of the Force and Jedis so it could theoretically take place in any galaxy (or multiple galaxies) and doesn't have to be specific to the Skywalker galaxy. That way future movies could potentially pick up after Mangold's movie (either right after or decades/centuries/millenia later) in another galaxy/galaxies and they could essentially be starting with a blank canvas without contradicting anything that has been done before in the Skywalker galaxy.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/13/2023, 2:26 AM
@StSteven - exactly. There's a lot to explore there, both a long, long time ago and right now
StSteven
StSteven - 10/13/2023, 5:29 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Yep. Hopefully they actually take advantage of all that and do something cool with it instead of keep going back to the Skywalker galaxy and time period. Don't get me wrong, I love all that stuff as much as the next guy and have since I was a kid. At one point as a kid I had a shitload of the OG figures and playsets including the AT-AT Walker and Vader's recharging thingy. Unfortunately I sold them all in a garage sale when I moved over to Transformers (even remember trying to recreate the Walker as a TF before I sold it) and then many years later I found one remaining figure, the Death Squad Commander, under our kitchen stove when my family and I moved out of our house. Have him standing on my desk here. Looks like one of our dogs got a hold of him before he escaped to safety under the stove. Arm's kinda hanging off. Poor little guy's been through rough times.

Anyhow, my point is I love all that stuff, but last I checked galaxies were pretty big places, not to mention multiple galaxies, so I think they can safely branch out now. Let's see if they actually do.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/13/2023, 5:37 PM
@StSteven - I certainly hope they will do. And otherwise I'll feed them to the underside of your kitchen stove
StSteven
StSteven - 10/13/2023, 10:19 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Oh dear Lord I wouldn't wish that on anyone. You hear that, LucasFilm? You hear that? You're officially on notice! Take it from poor old Death Squad Commander, you DO NOT WANT TO F**K THIS UP!
