Full Series Ahsoka in Rebels

Dave Filoni more or less said Ahsoka was done in Rebels.

 

Chewbacca is more popular than any of the animated characters from both series created by Dave Filoni; and that includes Anakin and Obi-Wan.

 

If this ever might be true, that will change with a stand alone film about Ahsoka/Maul.

Why you do have so little trust in the convincing power and charisma of both? Chewbacca might be more known, but more popular? That's different IMHO.

 

The majority of Star Wars fans think Maul died on Naboo and Anakin never had a padawan, and a movie that changed both those things (to the casual fan) would be quite controversial.

I think Ahsoka and Maul should stay in the animated series', that's where Ahsoka was created and Maul was revived, and that's where they should stay.

I don't know what you have in mind for this Ahsoka/Maul film, but I'm guessing its The Siege of Mandalore, which would be part of TCW Legacy, not one of their stand alone films like Rogue One.

 

You see that one highlighted argument is why I call out the hypocrisy of some who would have an issue with a feature film involving Ahsoka but yet have no problem with Maul being alive and well only a few years after ANH occurs.

 

Do you really think half the people who have seen the Star Wars movies have watched The Clone Wars?

 

Please don't bring up "head canon".

And, yeah, most the young audience (who grew up with PT) probably watched TCW. And hardcore fans, too.

 

You of course verified this "majority" with your statistically sound poll that you conducted of a large, random sample size of Star Wars fans.... Did you also verify how much of that "majority" was even aware of Ahsoka or Darth Maul in an animated series?

 

I think this raises an interesting point though. There is a need for such a poll to be set up to objectively determine once and for all who thinks what on Star Wars.

 

A poll like that shouldn't be conducted within this forum.

 

It should certainly include the members of this forum, however.

 

Maybe we should file a petition to include it in the next population census questionnaire; at least for those in the States.

 

Your sarcasm is noted, but I do think such a survey is worth conducting.

 

My only point is that it'll be difficult to do. Maybe pass out a poll at a future SW event; or at a big comic con.

 

People refusing to acknowledge or watch TCW + Rebels are missing out.

 

Obviously it is my opinion, is it really necessary to say that something is my opinion any time I open my mouth?

 

Mod Edit: Enough Baiting.

Knock it off right now. We dont need arguments over people's opinions. Remember argue with the point and not the person. Stick to the point of this thread (discussing Ahsoka) instead of trying to rile up other users.

Now let's move on.

 

Just listened to the latest RebelForce Radio with Dave and boy does he drop a lot of Ahsoka hints! Wasn't sure if it was being discussed here but at around the 1 hour 50 minute mark of the April 8th episode he all but confirms that there are different Convery birds that show up and that the Convery seen at the end of the finale is symbolic of a character from The Clone Wars TV series – the Daughter – and that element plays into what happened with Ahsoka and Vader in the chamber and the outcome.

Also the Sith temple resembles the Mortis temple, and the Mortis chamber where the knife is kept is intentionally the same as the chamber where the sith holocron is kept. And that the Malachor battlefield is made up of the same elements as Moraband in The Lost Missions and the area where Ezra meets Maul is an inversion of the world above and each level gets darker as they go down.

---

So a lot of hints! I'm not sure what to make of it yet, but Dave does say that Mortis foretells of events that take place in the Rebels finale and that the part Ahsoka played on Mortis plays into what happened to her in the end.

Edit: Also interesting that Dave cites Dante's Inferno and says that there is a price for the knowledge gained. We know Ahsoka went to Malachor for knowledge, and perhaps she is now paying that price for that knowledge.

 

What did it sound like he was implying?

Ahsoka gone dark somehow?

 

That makes sense, but what kind of price is she paying to find knowlege in a Sith temple? Her life?

 

Maybe she falls to the dark side?

 

I don't think so. At least, Dave did not seem to imply that.

In the Mortis arc, the Son stabbed the Daughter with the dagger that Obi-Wan retrieved. Ahsoka was later killed, and Anakin used the remaining life in the Daughter to revive Ahsoka.

Now in the Rebels finale, Ezra retrieves the Sith holocron (which had similarities to the dagger) and this activates the weapon. We also saw a Convery which symbolized the Daughter, Vader (who, as Anakin, had revived Ahsoka on Mortis) and Ahsoka herself all present within the span of a few minutes in a Sith temple that represented the one on Mortis - however the Sith temple was like an inversion.

So my guess is, on Mortis Anakin saved Ahsoka while on Malachor, this was inverted and Vader took Ahsoka's life. While the dagger contributed to the Daughter's death, the Sith holocron powered weapon contributed to Ahoka's death.

However, it is interesting as in Dante's Inferno to escape Hell one has to travel to the center of the earth before they can return to the world of the living (you have to go down before you can go up). So it is possible that the Convery symbolizes Ahsoka's death and revival on Mortis, and while she may be dead on Malachor she has a chance at revival but must first travel deeper and deeper into the temple (David did confirm that temple had levels that got darker as you went down). We do see her walking down into the darkness, so that supports this theory.
