Is Ahsoka Going To Save Ezra the Way He Saved Her from Darth Vader?

Share

Ahsoka, on Disney Plus, has turned out to be a refreshing pivot from the Skywalker family saga, as well as a live action sequel series to the much beloved and critically acclaimed Star Wars: Rebels series that aired on Disney XD.

The fourth episode blew away some fans with a call back to the season finale of Rebles.

TIME:

Following a high-stakes lightsaber duel with mercenary Baylan Skoll (the late Ray Stevenson) that ended with Baylan knocking her off a cliff on the planet Seatos, Ahsoka Tano (Rosari

in Rebels when Ashoka came face to face with Darth Vader in a lightsaber battle on the planet Malachor V and was forced to come to terms with who she was actually dueling. This fight ultimately led to Ahsoka’s first encounter with the World Between Worlds, as her fellow Ghost crew member Ezra Bridger later used the mysterious realm to reach back in time and save her before Vader could deliver the killing blow.

What is the World Between Worlds?

Described by the official Star Wars site as “a collection of pathways and doors between time and space,” the World Between Worlds is a realm of unimaginable power in the galaxy far, far away.

Ezra was able to enter the World Between Worlds in Rebels after discovering how to open a portal to the ethereal dimension in a painting of the Force-related Mortis gods on the planet Lothal. Emperor Palpatine also greatly desired access to the World Between Worlds, describing it as “a conduit between the living and the dead.”

However, Ezra, who was wanted by Palpatine for his connection to the realm, ultimately avoided falling into the Emperor’s clutches in Rebels by boarding Grand Admiral Thrawn’s flagship during the Battle of Lothal and summoning a flock of the space whales known as purrgils to capture Thrawn’s fleet and vanish it through hyperspace while he and Thrawn were both onboard, sacrificing himself for the cause.

Tano found herself on a illuminated, translucent plane suspended in the void of space as episode 4 of Ahsoka came to a close.

It was there that she suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned to see her former Jedi Master, Anakin Skywalker (a de-aged Hayden Christensen), approaching. “I didn’t expect to see you so soon,” he told her before the credits rolled.

The pair appeared to be meeting in the World Between Worlds, a mystical dimension within the Force that touches every point of time and space in the Star Wars universe and should be familiar to fans of the animated Star Wars Rebels series. But after all that’s happened between them, how their reunion will play out in next week’s episode is still up in the air.

Actor Eman Esfandi has been cast as the live action iteration of Bridger.

 

Ahsoka airs Tuesday nights at 9PM ET on DisneyPlus.
