Warning, spoilers. It is recommended that you watch Star Wars Episode 4: Ahsoka before reading this article.
Airing on Disney+ since August 23, Star Wars: Ahsoka was able to build on the basics of its plot to convince fans and those uninitiated in animated series (such as The Clone Wars and Rebels) to follow the adventures of the Jedi portrayed by Rosario Dawson. across the galaxy.
After the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka Tano investigates a hidden threat that could upset the fragile balance of the still-vulnerable galaxy… where she will encounter many enemies – old ones like Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) and Morgan Elsbeth. (Diana Lee Inosanto) – and unreleased as Sith Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) and his apprentice Shin Hat (Ivanna Sakhno).
He will also find old allies like the Mandalorian Sabina Wren, played by Natasha Liu Bordizo, and the Twi’lek Hera Syndulla, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Together, they will try to prevent the return of Admiral Thrawn and try to find their friend Ezra Bridger, who is being camped by Eman Esfend.
A surprise return that fans have been waiting for
But Star Wars fans are in for a big surprise in Episode 4 of Ahsoka, available September 6 on Disney+. The iconic character is back in the series produced by Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau! And this is the Anakin Skywalker we find in a younger version thanks to the aging technique (digital technology that makes it possible to rejuvenate or age an actor, editor’s note).
After his co-star Hayden Christensen reprized his role as Anakin/Darth Vader in the Disney+ Star Wars universe Obi-Wan Kenobi series alongside Ewan McGregor, fans were hoping to see him again in Ahsoka. His presence has never been officially confirmed, casting doubt on his involvement in the new Star Wars series.
But Episode 4, titled ‘Fallen Jedi’, managed to create a pleasant surprise for fans who were shivering at the words. “hello chick” was expressed. This is the affectionate name Anakin gave his Padawan Ahsoka in the Clone Wars animated series.
Return of Anakin Skywalker
In this new chapter, directed by Peter Ramsey, (who directed The Mandalore Season 3 Episode 5 and directed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Ahsoka and Sabine are stuck on Seatos. They hope that Beilan Skoll, Shin Hutt, and Morgan Elsbeth can’t use the precious map coordinates for a powerful ship that can make an impressive jump through hyperspace to reach Admiral Thrawn.
Unfortunately, Sabine, overcome with emotion, allows herself to be captured by her enemies in hopes of finding Ezra and leaves with them, leaving Ahsoka alone, stunned by the Bailan school strike.
We find him at the end of the episode in a kind of nothingness that could be the world between worlds that we saw in the Rebels series and which is a kind of temporary crossroads, a combination of doors and paths. time and space and which connects all the moments between them.
A lost Ahsoka realizes she’s not alone, so she finds Anakin, who “didn’t expect to see him so soon” as Darth Vader’s theme music plays in the background. So what does this merger mean? What does Anakin have in store for us? We’ll have to wait for Episode 5 to find out more, but in the meantime, Star Wars fans are overjoyed to have found the Jedi.
Translation: “What do you think about Hayden Christensen aging as Anakin Skywalker?”
Translation: “When this music starts playing at the end”
