‘Ahsoka’ Season Finale Says Goodbye with the Episode ‘The Jedi, the Witch and the Warrior Chief’ (With Spoilers)

With a clear allusion to the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe (The Wardrobe, in some translations), the 1950 novel by C.S. Lewis, the Star Wars spin-off miniseries Ahsoka concluded its first season, with a frankly open ending, satisfying for many, frustrating for some.

Satisfied fans are hoping this means a sequel is coming, but this one is likely to arrive an undated film, promised by producer Dave Filoni, in which he will connect this title with others such as The Mandalorian And Bobba Fett’s Book.

It’s an episode where there are reunions and farewells. The most important could be that of British actor Ray Stevenson, who played former Jedi knight Baylan Skoll. Stevenson passed away in May of this year, leaving his character as he was at the end of Ahsoka, surrounded by mystery.

Reunions are bittersweet. The rebels’ greatest fear, the return of one of the highest imperialist representatives, Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), has been fulfilled. But he has inadvertently brought along his rival, who has defeated him before.

Is about Ezra Bridger, the hero who defeated Thrawn from the galaxy for over ten years, at the cost of also being exiled. Then he was a teenager, now he is a talented adult Jedi who, perhaps a little belatedly, acquired his first lightsaber, guided by the droid Huyang.

Ahsoka creator and producer Dave Filoni uses the wise robot to remind us that the relationship between Jedi master and apprentice is at the heart of the story, which is “as challenging as it is meaningful.” But he also uses it to further connect the miniseries Star Wars Rebels and its hero, the Jedi Kanan Jarrus. Huyang instructed Kanan as he made a young (consecrated) at the Jedi Temple. Kanan trained Ezra when the temple was already destroyed. This is how the story of Ezra and his teacher ends.

But that of Ahsoka and her padawan Sabine Wren not yet. Filoni leaves them with new friends and enemies, and with the opportunity to spend time together to complete the interrupted training.

And it wasn’t interrupted by Sabine, but by Ahsoka’s fears, which were resolved in these eight episodes where she finally had to deal with to the spirit of his master, Anakin Skywalker. Now you can return to His teachings and remember that He was always on your side before the Fall. And perhaps you believe you have their approval to train your own student.

So it’s closure for Anakin and Ahsoka, but not for another race from the series, the witches of Dathomir. They finally emerge from their own exile and return to their planet, but their intentions remain to be seen.

It seems that this is all Filoni has achieved Ahsoka is switching places with certain characters, and they admit that at the end. But along that path it has also changed them internally. Now everyone is where they need to be. And maybe it’s to start the new movie.
