Ahsoka and the Rebels Epilogue
At some point in all this we see the brief events of the end epilogue of Star Wars Rebels. Itself set at a vague point in time after the conclusion of Return of the Jedi, one major part of the epilogue sees Ahsoka return to the planet Lothal to recruit the Mandalorian warrior and former Rebel member Sabine Wren in her search for Thrawn and Ezra Bridger. But when does this actually take place in relation to Ahsoka? It’s… complicated.
What we’ve seen in footage of the series so far is that, seemingly, at some point Ahsoka and Sabine cross paths and then part ways again perhaps before this epilogue: Sabine re-encounters Ahsoka in footage where her hair has grown out past her shoulders, and we also then see footage of Sabine ritually cutting her hair into a pixie cut before reuniting with Ahsoka, as seen in the Rebels epilogue. How much time passes between these events? Are they even intended to be separate events? It’s hard to say. But considering Ahsoka has also seemingly set up that for a time that Ahsoka and Sabine entered a Master/Apprentice partnership for an undisclosed period of time, they seemingly have to be.
We’ll no doubt find out more starting next week, when Ahsoka begins streaming on Disney+ from August 23.
