Former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.
Ahsoka recap
Ahsoka Tano tracks Morgan Elsbeth, who is building a hyperspace ring to reach another galaxy where Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger vanished. Ahsoka reluctantly takes back her former apprentice Sabine Wren, and Hera Syndulla brings New Republic support. Two dark Jedi, Baylan Skoll and his apprentice Shin Hati, work for Elsbeth. Baylan wounds Ahsoka, who wakes in the world between worlds and trains against Anakin's memory. Sabine trades the map for the chance to find Ezra and is carried with the enemy to the galaxy of Peridea, and Ahsoka follows aboard a purrgil. Sabine finds Ezra living among a group of locals, and Ahsoka and Huyang catch up to them, and the group fights Thrawn's troops and the Nightsister witches who serve him as he loads his ship for the journey home. Shin parts ways with Baylan.
Ahsoka ending explained
Thrawn returns to the known galaxy with an army and the Nightsisters' cargo, and Ezra makes it home to Hera. Ahsoka kills Morgan Elsbeth in a duel at the Nightsister fortress, but she and Sabine are left stranded on Peridea with Huyang. Baylan stands at the statue of the Father, a mystery left for a second season, and Anakin's ghost watches over Ahsoka.
