With the final episode of the newest Star Wars show that came out on October 3, 2023: Star Wars has gone through some major changes. Ever since Disney bought the rights to Star Wars from George Lucas for $4.05 billion, there has been a lot of controversy. Many long-time fans did not like the direction that Disney was taking the series, while newer fans were delighted. Ahsoka seems to have helped alleviate some of that gap by bringing up a few characters and scenarios that only true Star Wars fans would know. There are also a couple scenes in Ahsoka that overlap with Rebels and Clone Wars.  

One scene that stood out to me was in episode three when Ahsoka puts on a space suit and battles the fighters on the outside of her ship. This scene was very similar to one of Plo Koon in Clone Wars season one episode two. In this episode, to protect the clones with him, Plo Koon steps outside the pod to fight against the battle droids advancing on them. In the Ahsoka episode, Ahsoka steps outside the ship to protect Sabine and Huyang so that they can fix the ship in relative peace. Fans are delighted to see this kind of plan from Ahsoka. After being a part of Anakin’s crazy plans during the Clone Wars, Ahsoka is bound to have a few of her own.  

Ahsoka has been a fan favorite in the Star Wars universe for many years, especially with younger girls watching the series. Many fans appreciate that she gets her own live-action screen time after so many years in animation, but there are a few who strongly believe that she and other characters should have stayed in animation. One of these other characters that has been mentioned is Thrawn. Thrawn had a very strong manipulative appearance in every animation show he was shown in, but in this new live-action version of him, he just seems a bit flat. Since Thrawn has such a large role in the series some believe that there should have been a bit more thought put into his appearance along with a few other characters that have not transferred to live action as easily as some. 

Although there is controversy, the live-action Ahsoka brings everyone in this line of Jedi-to-Jedi animation and live-action. This gives the characters more room to spread out and affect the Star Wars universe. The Jedi line that has led to Sabine is a very unusual and successful line. This line of Jedi has some of the most powerful force users. Starting with Yoda, who was known as the greatest Jedi Grand Master in history, and leading to Sabine, who is both Mandalorian and not very Force-sensitive, everyone in this line is crucial in a war. Each in this line, until Sabine, was known for their mastery of the force and lightsaber. This non-traditional line includes Yoda, Count Dooku, Qui Gon Jinn, Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Sabine Wren. Each plays a major role in the Star Wars story and continues to do so through Ahsoka and Sabine. I do not see this line of Jedi ending any time soon. With Ahsoka getting her own show, and Sabine’s part in it, there may be many more jedi in this line in the future. That is if Ahsoka and Sabine can survive the battles coming for them on Peridea and manage to return to their galaxy.  

The last episode of Ahsoka dropped some valuable information. It brings the Father, Son, and Daughter into the series by showing Baylan Skoll standing on the statue of the Father with the Son beside him and rock to show where the Daughter belonged. This has brought many theories about Abeloth who became the Mother. With Ezra and Thrawn back in their galaxy and Ahsoka on Peridea, this sets up a few paths for season two of Star Wars Ahsoka and could bring some major changes to the Star Wars universe.
