Important Star Wars Questions ANSWERED in Ahsoka

Top X “Star Wars” Questions Answered in “Ahsoka”

Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the questions the Disney+ series “Ahsoka” answered.

#7: Is It Possible to Travel to Other Galaxies?

We’ve long heard the opener, “In a galaxy far, far away…” Heck, we’ve even heard it on this show. But what about “In a galaxy right next to that galaxy far, far away?” Indeed, we’ve spent so much time hanging out in this galaxy, that we’ve seldom wondered about another one. And once we learned that Ezra and Thrawn were taken out of the galaxy, we immediately wondered if it was possible to travel such a distance. Obviously, the Purrgil have such capabilities, but can people on ordinary spacecraft with hyperspace components? It turns out, yes, as Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth has constructed a hyperspace ring called the Eye of Sion, which is successful in transporting her and her team to Peridea.

#6: What Caused Sabine & Ahsoka’s Falling Out?

After the fall of the Empire, “Rebels” ends with Sabine going off with Ahsoka to find Ezra. But by the time we see Ahsoka again in “The Mandalorian,” she’s once again on her own. So a big question we had going into this series was what exactly caused the two to go their separate ways? We learn in the early episodes that Ahsoka had actually begun training Sabine in the Jedi ways, but this didn’t go very far, presumably due to Sabine’s relatively weak connection with the Force. However, the finale finally reveals that Sabine was greatly affected by the Great Purge of Mandalore, and Ahsoka feared what she might become if she used her nascent abilities for revenge.

#5: Did Baylan Skoll Know Anakin Skywalker?

One of the most intriguing new characters “Ahsoka” introduced was Baylan Skoll, played by the late, great Ray Stevenson. Based on his age, we knew it was highly likely that Baylan would’ve been around for the Clone Wars and Order 66, him being a former Jedi. We also knew that Anakin Skywalker would somehow play a part, this show centering on his former Padawan. So with Baylan being a Dark Jedi with a connected past, it made sense that he might’ve known Anakin to some degree. While he clearly didn’t know Anakin well enough to have met Ahsoka back then, Baylan does reveal to her that Anakin spoke highly of her.

#4: Could a Human Be a Nightsister?

First appearing in the “Clone Wars” TV show, the Nightsisters introduced a mystical side of “Star Wars” not often seen. They primarily hailed from the planet Dathomir, whose dark energies they could manipulate into magick. This being a specific sect, it made sense that all the night sisters were Dathomirians as a species, but we never knew if that was a prerequisite for harnessing their magical abilities. Apparently not. Morgan Elsbeth, first introduced “The Mandalorian,” is a human who was previously a member of the Nightsisters before they were massacred. How Elsbeth came to be a member of the Dathomirians is unclear, but she definitely retains some of their abilities.

#3: Has Ahsoka Met Anakin’s Force Ghost?

At the end of “Return of the Jedi,” after Darth Vader is killed and the Empire is defeated, Anakin’s Force ghost appears at the celebration on Endor. And in video releases since 2004, he’s played by Hayden Christensen. Knowing that Anakin’s Force ghost is out there, we wondered if he might’ve ever popped by to check on his former Padawan. At the end of the fourth episode, Ahsoka returns to the World Between Worlds, where she’s greeted by her former master. It’s a great moment as we finally get to see these two together in live-action, but Ahsoka’s comment about Anakin’s appearance leads us to believe this is their first reunion since his death.

#2: Can Sabine Use the Force?

After the “Rebels” finale teased that Ahsoka might train Sabine, the “Ahsoka” series confirmed it, but with the caveat that Sabine’s connection to the Force is fairly weak. Far weaker than the average Jedi, in fact. Throughout the series, we see Sabine trying in vain to summon the Force, even on something as innocuous as a cup. But in classic “Star Wars” fashion, Sabine finally taps into it during the most dire of circumstances. When she and Ezra are facing off against the zombified stormtroopers, she’s able to save herself from being suffocated by drawing in her lightsaber. Shortly after, Sabine and Ezra pull off a classic “Rebels” move when the former Force pushes the latter across the divide and onto Thrawn’s ship.

#1: Where Are Ezra & Thrawn?

This was the ultimate question leading into this series, as we were promised a resolution to the cliffhanger that ended “Rebels.” As you’ll recall, Ezra indirectly defeated Thrawn and his forces by compelling the Purrgil to take them all through hyperspace. With the Purrgil being mysterious creatures already, it was anyone’s guess as to where they all went. In the first episode of “Ahsoka,” the title character uncovers a map that leads to an extragalactic planet known as Peridea, where the Purrgil go to die. When all of our heroes and villains arrive on the planet, we’re finally reunited with not only Thrawn - who’s gathering forces - but with Ezra, who has since ingratiated himself with the native Noti population.
