Rosario Dawson S Ahsoka Series Rumored Plot Details Revealed

It’s not an

Empire Strikes Back

level twist, but the report that

Ahsoka

will now serve as what was once an animated sequel to

Star Wars Rebels

is a surprise to all.

The long awaited continuation of

Rebels

was once said to begin last November, but Star Wars fans will have to wait just a bit longer.

Ahsoka

was announced during Disney’s Investor Day meeting in December, and

Jon Favreau revealed that Dave Filoni is penning the scripts for the event series

. Should things continue as planned without any COVID-related shutdowns or delays,

Ahsoka

could be in production as early as later this year.

But what exactly will the series be about? As many have inferred given the breadcrumb dropped in

The Mandalorian

“Chapter 13,” Ahsoka is after the notorious Grand Admiral Thrawn. How exactly does this tie in with what we already know from the epilogue of

Rebels

As things turn out, this situation appears to be pretty cut and dry…

NEWS

Kessel Run Transmissions

is reporting that the plot of

Ahsoka

is the search for Ezra Bridger:

“The plot of Ahsoka is the search for Ezra Bridger… Ezra and Thrawn.”

Ahsoka

will be re-purposing scripts written specifically for the animated

Rebels

sequel:

“The Ahsoka series is literally taking the scripts from the Rebels sequel into her series.”

As the

Rebels

epilogue suggests, Sabine Wren will be a recurring character in the series:

“We’re going to be seeing Sabine in live-action, she’s going to be co-starring alongside Ahsoka… originally the Rebels sequel was going to be starring Ahsoka and Sabine, so it makes sense that the Ahsoka series would be the same thing.”

The

Ahsoka

series itself will also lead to more stories, but will be what the sequel was always meant to be:

“[The Ahsoka series] will lead into spin-offs like an Ezra and Thrawn show. Ahsoka will be the story that the successor was supposed to be.”

WHAT THIS MEANS

We’ve got quite a bit to unpack here.

The plot of the series revolving around the hunt for Ezra Bridger seemed inevitable, given Ahsoka’s mission in locating Thrawn in

The Mandalorian

. She promised her young friend she would find him when she returned from the World Between Worlds, and it looks like that’s still an ongoing process nearly a decade later.

Sabine being a co-star in the series was also an inevitability. Dave Filoni touched on the timing of the

Rebels

epilogue relative to

The Mandalorian

, and because no concrete timing was established, it’s possible that Ahsoka is returning to Lothal to pick up Sabine after she’s learned Thrawn’s location from Morgan Elsbeth in “Chapter 13”. Should this prove to be the case, Sabine has spent a much longer amount of time on Lothal than previously believed, and Ahsoka’s quest to find Ezra has been extensive.

Perhaps

Ahsoka

picks up immediately where the

Rebels

epilogue leaves off, with Ahsoka and Sabine embarking on the journey originally conceived for animation with the new info acquired from the magistrate. But like most good stories, it’s quite possible that neither of the heroines will find what they were expecting when they inevitably reach Ezra.

The prospects of a series starring Thrawn and Ezra has been compelling for quite some time, and seeing

Ahsoka

produce spinoffs in the way

The Mandalorian

has seems to be a natural expansion of this evolving story. The former adversaries certainly haven’t been hanging around a decrepit Star Destroyer playing Sabaac for nine years, so whatever Thrawn and Ezra are up to will likely have bigger implications for the narrative that drag Ahsoka and Sabine into the fold.

Despite the recent reports and announcements, it feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface of where this story is going. The characters of

Star Wars Rebels

have become beloved members of the franchise, and seeing them in all their live-action glory will be a payoff well worth the wait.
