Now, on the one hand, this seems to suggest that Ahsoka died sometime after the end of Rebels' series finale but before Rise of Skywalker. In a climactic scene in the final film in the Skywalker saga, Rey reaches out with the Force and makes contact with Jedi from days gone by, and we hear via voiceover from Qui-Gon Jin, Obi-Wan Kenobi (both Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor versions), Hayden Christensen, and Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano, among others. Spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Then there are other recent reveals in the Star Wars galaxy far, far away to consider when it comes to Ahsoka. Order-66 may be coming with the activation of the clones' chips, Anakin's turn may be coming, and the rise of the Empire may be on the way in Clone Wars' place in the timeline, but Ahsoka will survive, and the good guys will triumph over the Empire in the end. if only diehard fans didn't already know courtesy of the Ahsoka novel and events of Star Wars Rebels that Ahsoka survives the end of The Clone Wars. Somehow I don't see this as a grand reveal of an upcoming Star Wars/ Lord of the Rings crossover!įor another thing, the reminder that Ahsoka lives coming only a couple of months before she returns to the small screen with the Clone Wars revival could be a sign that viewers are in for an intense ride that could leave Ahsoka's life in jeopardy.

This new image, posted by Dave Filoni on Christmas Day 2019, is obviously not an unproduced scene or glimpse at a secret corner of Star Wars canon, as it shows Ahsoka hanging out with Gandalf and bonding over both having reports of their deaths greatly exaggerated. Rebels Season 4 managed to tie up those loose ends to even my satisfaction, and Dave Filoni's comments to CinemaBlend about Ahsoka's return and the world between worlds settled the matter even further. Now, I was admittedly on board the 'Of course Ahsoka is dead!' train after Star Wars Rebels Season 2 seemingly ended with Ahsoka's death at the hands of Darth Vader, simply because it seemed impossible that Ahsoka could survive that encounter with Vader and Vader would just leave her there alive. On that last note, Star Wars Rebels showrunner Dave Filoni - also a writer, director, and executive producer for Clone Wars, Resistance, and The Mandalorian - celebrated the holidays with a reminder that Ahsoka lives, and I am more hyped than ever for Clone Wars. This is an exciting time to be a fan of Star Wars TV thanks to Season 1 of The Mandalorian, the upcoming revival of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the other two live-action series, the climax of Star Wars Resistance, and my persistent hopes for more callbacks to Star Wars Rebels.
