Now that Lucasfilm have confirmed the news everyone was expecting and announced a solo series for Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano, the chances of her returning in The Mandalorian‘s Season 2 finale have dropped. “The Jedi” was a solid live-action debut for the fan favorite character, and she revealed some vital information surrounding Baby Yoda’s backstory, but in retrospect it now appears to be more of a backdoor pilot than the introduction of a supporting player.
Having name-dropped Grand Admiral Thrawn, we already know where the plot is heading in the loosest of terms, and it also opens the door for Dave Filoni to bring several other major names from the animated back catalogue into the Disney Plus mythology. Not only that, but Ahsoka has now pulled ahead of fellow Mandalorian returnee Boba Fett and holds a unique Star Wars record all to herself.
If you include Ashley Eckstein’s voice cameo in The Rise of Skywalker, Anakin’s former Padawan is now the only character in the franchise’s history to headline her own episodic series having already appeared in live-action and animated movies and TV shows, as well as expanded universe novels, comic books and video games.
Of course, Temuera Morrison is also heavily rumored to be getting his own Mandalorian spinoff, which would tie them once again, but at the moment Ahsoka Tano is currently out in front. That’s a remarkable turnaround for someone the fans didn’t exactly take to their hearts immediately following her introduction in 2008’s widely panned The Clone Wars movie, but in just a dozen years Snips has become an integral part of a galaxy far, far away across every conceivable form of media.
