Much of Ahsoka's finale - appropriately titled "The Jedi, The Witch, And The Warlord" - focuses on the show's heroes attempting to stop Grand Admiral Thrawn from leaving Peridea.
While he embarks on numerous attempts to stop them, only Ezra Bridger makes it onto the villain's Star Destroyer thanks to a helping hand from Sabine Wren and her newfound abilities. Morgan Elsbeth, who is granted the Blade of Talzin by The Great Mothers, receives a power-up but is ultimately slain in battle by the former Jedi.
As for that weapon, we're sure you'll recall that Talzin was the Clan Mother of the Nightsisters whose death marked the fall of Dathomir and the end of her Nightsister coven. Prior to facing Ahsoka, Elsbeth suggests her actions weren't for the Empire, but for Dathomir. Intriguing, right?
Later, Ahsoka and Sabine pursue the Chimaera in the former's ship but aren't quick enough, leaving Thrawn to return to the core Galaxy. He taunts Ahsoka about potentially ending up like her Master, Anakin Skywalker, and bids farewell by declaring, "Long live the Empire."
Ezra, meanwhile, escapes by disguising himself as a Stormtrooper and is welcomed back to the New Republic by Hera Syndulla and Chopper. As for Thrawn, he and The Great Mothers approach Dathomir in the Chimaera while looking out at a loading bay full of thousands of the coffin-like objects we saw being loaded on the ship.
What do they contain? It's never revealed, but if we had to hazard a guess, more Nightsisters. While Thrawn restoring the Empire to its former glory with an army of undead witches isn't exactly the direction we saw this story heading in, it's possible allying himself with Dathomir is the only way for the Imperial to achieve his ultimate goal.
Answers about what that might be will have to wait for another day but Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang end up stranded on Peridea. They succeeded in sending Ezra home, though, and Ahsoka suggests they must now move on and start afresh.
However, as the episode ends, Anakin Skywalker's Force Ghost watches them from afar. It's the first time we've seen him in this form since Return of the Jedi, and he appears both happy and perhaps a little concerned. Either way, the fact he's on Peridea with them feels significant.
So, while we still have a tonne of unanswered questions, Ahsoka does deliver a satisfying conclusion and sets the stage for more. It feels like there's still too much story to launch straight into Dave Filoni's planned Star Wars movie, so we'd bet on a season 2 heading our way first.
Did you walk away satisfied from the Ahsoka finale?
