Ahsoka Tano is a multifaceted character. Formerly a Jedi, she held an role in The Clone Wars, supported Rebels, provided guidance in The Mandalorian, and was intertwined with The Book of Boba Fett. Now, she takes the spotlight in her own mini-series. While her quest to locate her old friend Ezra Bridger and Thrawn’s involvement has been confirmed, the trailer and creators have kept most of the plot under wraps. However, a fresh theory suggests that Tano’s narrative could extend beyond her search, potentially profoundly impacting the future of the Jedi Order.
A Reddit user known as TheMediocreCritic theorized that the emerging antagonists in Ahsoka could hold the key to the show’s upcoming trajectory. At this jpoint, Ahsoka’s core theme revolves around not fitting within established categories like the Jedi or Sith. Significantly, the newly introduced characters Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati in the trailer, portrayed as lightsaber users facing off against Ahsoka, also share a story of being displaced Jedi. Skoll, like her, survived Order 66. Considering Obi-Wan Kenobi’s disclosure about Inquisitors being former Jedi, this series could position Ahsoka against three individuals who share a similar journey as her.
