Disney+’s Ahsoka is simply across the nook, and Star Wars followers’ pleasure for the present appears to be steadily rising. One thing that has franchise devotees like myself notably pumped is the truth that the sequence has main connections to the animated sequence Rebels. Reviews have recommended that this system may even have ties to a particular period within the Skywalker Saga – the prequel trilogy. On that notice, a brand new rumor means that the Rosario Dawson-led present goes to function a brand new tackle the most effective scenes from that first set of movies.
The notion of the restricted sequence references occasions from the prequels isn’t all that shocking, because the titular Jedi has direct ties to that point interval within the galaxy far, distant. Ahsoka Tano served as Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice amid the Clone Wars. It was even beforehand reported that Anakin actor Hayden Christensen is reprising his position for this mission. (The actor has but to substantiate that.) Regardless of all of that, I’m undecided anybody would’ve theorized what this latest rumor claims in regards to the upcoming present. It was stated, throughout an episode of Making Star Wars, that the manufacturing aimed to recreate Anakin and Obi-Wan’s Mustafar duel however with a key twist:
They filmed a sequence the place Ahsoka sees herself on Mustafar, preventing Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader earlier than he’s within the go well with. … That they had a dummy for a lifeless Kenobi, and so they had garments for a lifeless Kenobi. So they’d two concepts there. One is Anakin actually kills Kenobi in that battle, the place the concept can be Ahsoka and Kenobi confront Darth Vader. One other is he turns right into a pile of garments similar to he at all times did – he turns into one with the Pressure at the moment within the narrative.
The Mustafar sequence occurred on the finish of 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. It’s an emotionally charged scene that sees former grasp and apprentice Obi-Wan and Anakin (who’s often known as Darth Vader by that time) dueling to the dying. In the end, Kenobi emerges victorious after slicing off Vader’s arm and legs. All in all, it’s simply one of many best – and most heartbreaking – moments inside George Lucas’ prequel trilogy. Tano isn’t current through the battle, as a result of (as revealed within the Clone Wars sequence finale), she was entangled in a harmful state of affairs of her personal.

I’m intrigued by the concept of recreating the main second and inserting Tano into the proceedings. Nonetheless, there are a number of causes to be, no less than, barely involved, if these eventualities had been certainly filmed. For one, how does the general concept match into the story? The plain reply can be a dream Tano has however, given she wasn’t truly current for the true occasion, one has to marvel how she’d have context concerning the specifics. On the entire, both theoretical sequence may simply be difficult to promote to an viewers. The host of Making Star Wars didn’t agree with the “pile of garments” strategy, arguing that it didn’t make sense in that context. And there’s a good probability different followers could really feel the identical or have damaging ideas on different points of the sequence
However after all, I may simply be getting forward of myself, as a Mustafar second is way from confirmed for the present at this level. Heck, Hayden Christensen nonetheless hasn’t even been formally introduced for the sequence – though Rosario Dawson appeared to substantiate the casting with a social media put up. An look from Chrstensen would observe, although, not simply due to Anakin’s connection to Tano however as a result of the actor beforehand returned to SW via Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Hypothesis apart, what we learn about Ahsoka is that it’ll see the wandering warrior reuniting with Rebels characters like Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla. The trio and extra must crew up as a way to battle the approaching return of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It’ll be thrilling to see how that each one involves fruition and, if a Mustafar scene pops up in some unspecified time in the future as effectively, so be it.
Ahsoka has its two-episode premiere on August 23 as a part of the 2023 TV schedule, with one installment dropping weekly after that. Make sure you’ve gotten a Disney+ subscription so that you could stream the present and finally get pleasure from different upcoming Star Wars reveals.
