Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Thrawn reads Ahsoka's bio he gets a curious, knowing look on his face and says "So, Ahsoka Tano was the apprentice of General Anakin Skywalker", because Thrawn once knew Anakin Skywalker. This is a bit of a nod to Timothy Zahn's prequel novels about Thrawn. The novel "Chaos Rising" takes place in 19 BBY near the end of the Clone Wars, at the time Thrawn was still an officer in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Chiss were facing a threat from a new enemy. Thrawn left Chiss space in an effort to search for allies and/or new technology to fight this enemy, his search took him to a planet near the edge of the Unknown Regions. This planet also happened to be the location of a secret Separatist base protected by a planetary shield generator, while at the planet Thrawn encountered Anakin Skywalker on a mission to destroy the base. Thrawn agreed to help Skywalker with his mission in exchange for allowing him to take the shield generator as the Chiss did not have such technology. Later on in the novel "Alliances", which takes place in 2 BBY after Thrawn joined the Empire and obtained the rank of Grand Admiral, Emperor Palpatine sent both Thrawn and Vader on a secret mission to investigate a disturbance in the Force that Palpatine felt. This was Thrawn's first time working with Vader, their mission took them to the same planet that Thrawn met Anakin at, and thanks to Thrawn's exceptional powers of observation and deduction it was not long before Thrawn was able to figure out that Darth Vader used to be Anakin Skywalker, making Thrawn one of the very few people at the time that knew Vader's secret. Hence Thrawn's reaction to learning Skywalker was Ahsoka's master.
- GoofsAhsoka plays a recording of Anakin Skywalker. But he is clearly middle-aged, very different from what he was before he suffered massive injuries as Darth Vader.
- Quotes
Anakin Skywalker: [Ahsoka is playing back a hologram of him as she's practicing] In this war, you'll face more than just droids. General Grievous, Asajj Ventress, even Count Dooku. You can face any one of them on the battlefield. As your Master, it's my responsibility to prepare you, so practice these forms often, at least more than I do. If we get separated or something happens, you need to be able to make it on your own. Don't be afraid. Just remember what I taught you, and trust your instincts. I know you can do this, Ahsoka.
[He bows. Ahsoka stops practicing and bows at the same time as him before the hologram stops]
For those looking for plot movement there is little of significance other than events in the galactic republic concluding with a nice cameo. As much as I enjoyed seeing the character appear, I think the arc involving Hera Syndulla reaches an anticlimax.
The main plot moves slightly with scenes that involve fighting, lightsabers, and force-wielding to inject some life into the proceedings. Maybe if I had watched Rebels certain character interactions would hold more significance but unfortunately, I am struggling to keep an interest. I will tune into the finale to see if the villains' plans come to fruition and hope it includes something promising for future projects.
I still consider the only significant Star Wars story arc ended with the destruction of the Death Star in ROTJ. I am though looking forward to Season 2 of Andor, which (along with Rogue One) is a worthwhile Disney contribution to the franchise.
I think visually and technically Ahsoka continues to be excellent.
