AhsokaIts heroes and villains will have a profound impact on the New Republic era, but where they were during Star Wars Original trilogy? As part of the so-called Mandoverse on Disney+, Ahsoka Season 1 is set in approximately 11ABY, 11 years after the Battle of Yavin when the first Death Star was destroyed in the original Star Wars movie (later retitled A new hope). But Ahsoka is not just a Mandoverse show – it also functions as a direct sequel to Star Wars RebelsWhich was set between 5BBY and 1BBY, a few years before the Rebel Alliance managed to destroy the first Death Star.
As such, many of ahsakas most important characters are first introduced in Star Wars RebelsMaking the leap from animation to live-action. Those who fought alongside the Rebellion as part of the Ghost Crew, including Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla and Ezra Bridger, would go on to play an important role in the Galactic Civil War. Others, like the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of the Empire’s most cunning and crafty tacticians, were thankfully removed from the board before they could aid the Empire in their fight against the Rebellion’s forces when it really mattered.
Although Ahsoka Can’t immediately confirm where most of his characters were during the original Star Wars TrilogyThere’s plenty to learn from Star Wars Rebels epilogue, ahsakas dialogue, Star Wars: Tales of the EmpireAnd more. Wow AhsokaThe characters who were at such a pivotal time may be able to tell us more about where they go when Ahsoka Returns for season 2.

Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka disappeared just before the original Star Wars trilogy
Given Ahsoka Tano’s prominent presence in the Star Wars franchise since its introduction in Star Wars: The Clone WarsIt’s a shame she didn’t have a role in the original trilogy’s storyline. The real reason for this is, of course, that she simply hasn’t been created yet – even her master, Anakin Skywalker, isn’t a fully formed character at this point. However, despite her absence, Ahsoka has a role to play in the Rebel Alliance.
As revealed by Star Wars RebelsAhsoka joined the Rebellion under the code name Fulcrum after surviving Order 66, acting as an informant for the Rebellion and communicating with various Rebel cells. When she meets fellow survivor Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan, Ezra Bridger, she decides to take a more hands-on approach, joining them and the rest of the Ghost Crew on several missions. This led to her eventual mysterious disappearance, which accounts for her absence during most of the Galactic Civil War.
in Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Ahsoka, Ezra and Kanan travel to the planet Malacher, hoping to find answers about the mysterious Sith religion. There, they eventually meet Darth Vader, and Ahsoka, sensing something familiar about the mysterious villain, stays behind to fight him so that Ezra and Kanan can get away safely. Ahsoka recognizes Vader as her former master, and the two are locked in a duel as the Sith Temple crumbles around them. Although Vader escaped, there was no word on what happened to Ahsoka, and Ezra, Kanan, and the rest of the Rebellion essentially thought she was “missing in action.”
Later, in Star Wars Rebels Season 4, Ezra accesses a mysterious place called the World Between Worlds, a dimension that connects all space and time through the Force. Ezra “saves” Ahsoka’s life, and although she re-enters the timeline immediately after her duel with Darth Vader, little else has been revealed about her movements after that moment.
Considering Star Wars Rebels Season 2 takes place in 4BBY, however, there is a lot of time Ahsoka revealed that, in accordance with the Star Wars Rebels Epilogue – which takes place just after 4ABY and Return of the Jedi – Ahsoka finally found the Mandalorian Sabine Wren, took her in as a Padawan, and set out on a mission to find Ezra Bridger, who was missing at the time..

Sabine Ren
Sabine Wren remained loyal to Star Wars Rebels’ Ghost Crew
in the Star Wars Rebels Series finale, Sabine helped Ezra, the rest of the Ghost Crew and their allies defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn, freeing Ezra’s home world of Lothal from the clutches of the Empire. The finale takes place in 1ABY, shortly before the destruction of the Death Star.
Although Sabine was an integral member of the Rebellion due to her work with the Ghost Crew, she was reluctant to become a ranking member of the wider Rebel Alliance, and as such stayed on Lothal after their final battle, keeping her promise to Ezra by keeping watch over the planet.
At some point, she was joined by Ahsoka to find Ezra – as was teased by Rebels‘ Epilogue – and became a Jedi Padawan. Ahsoka Implied that this was just after the cleansing of Mandalore, which the recently released game Star Wars Outlaws Confirmed to take place in 3ABY. It’s unclear how much time Ahsoka and Sabine spent together before going their separate ways. Ahsoka Reconnect some aspects of rebel Epilogue, so it is difficult to assign a date to each moment between these Rebels Finale and Ahsoka.

Hera Syndulla
Hera was an integral part of the Rebel Alliance
Hera Syndulla’s trajectory during the original trilogy is a little easier to track. The Star Wars Rebels Epilogue makes it clear that after the Ghost Crew’s success in Lothal, Hera was eventually made a general of the Rebel Alliance and joined the fight against the Empire at the Battle of Endor. The Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi Occurred in 4ABY. Presumably, between 1BBY and 4ABY, Hera continued to fight for the Rebellion while the rest of the Ghost Crew went their separate ways.
In addition, the Rebels Epilogue reveals that Hera Syndulla also had a baby shortly after the liberation of Lothal. She was in a romantic relationship with the Jedi Kanan Jarrus before he sacrificed himself to save her, Ezra, and Sabine Ren from a fuel tank explosion in Star Wars Rebels Season 4. Her son, Jacen Syndulla, is also present in AhsokaAnd will presumably (and hopefully) have a bigger role in the upcoming season.

Ezra Bridger
Ezra sacrificed everything to defeat the Grand Admiral Throne
Ezra Bridger is no ordinary Jedi. Born when the Empire first rose to power, Ezra was discovered by Kanan and the Ghost Crew on Lothal in 5BBY and taken by them so that he could train as Kanan’s Padawan. Without the structure of the Jedi Order, both Kanan and Ezra navigated their roles as Jedi in a new way, exploring their gifts and relationships with their friends as freely as the oppression of the Empire would allow. One of Ezra’s gifts was his incredible ability to connect with other creatures, otherwise known as the ability of “Beast Themes”, which he used to great effect in the final battle for Luthor in the Rebels Series finale.
After contact with the Purgil, Star Wars Hyperspace-traversing whales (which made their live-action debut in AhsokaAlso), Ezra ordered them to capture the Grand Admiral Throne and his star destroyer and bring them into exile. Ezra was still on board—he had to be to prevent Thrawn’s escape—and sacrificed his future with his friends and family for the good of Lothal and the wider galaxy.
As revealed by Ahsoka, Thrawn and Ezra end up on Peridea, a Force-rich planet located in a secondary galaxy. At some point, Ezra managed to avoid Tran’s wrath and became friends with the Nuti, a peaceful nomadic society of turtle-like creatures who took him in and treated him as one of their own. So Ezra managed to survive all these years until Ahsoka and Sabine finally managed to find him in Ahsoka.

Huyang
When did Ahsoka reunite with Huyang?
Huyang is one of Star Wars‘ Oldest letters, from the early days of the Jedi Order. During the Clone Wars, Huyang taught Jedi younglings how to build their lightsabers, working as a historian and researcher for the Order. As such, Hoyang would have been an incredibly valuable resource after the fall of the Jedi, not just to the Empire but to any surviving members of the Order, as well. It’s no wonder Ahsoka sought out Huyang at some point in the aftermath of Order 66; The only question is how he survived the Jedi’s genocide.
earlier, Screen Rant Theorized that Huyang may be part of the Exploration Corps, a branch of the Jedi Order that focused on exploration and archaeological research in the Outer Rim and beyond.. The group operated far beyond the reach of the Jedi Temple, and as such may not even have been aware of what was happening on Coruscant and in the wider galaxy in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the SithExplains why the Empire was never able to track Huang down.

Grand Admiral Throne
Truen was exiled by Ezra Bridger
Thrawn’s story, of course, is very similar to Ezra Bridger’s, although Bridger’s victory over Thrawn on Lothal revealed the general’s one great weakness – he never really understood what drove the Jedi to protect the defenseless. himself. He never saw Ezra’s sacrifice coming and was not caught by it, which caused his exile on Friday.
Although Ezra wriggled out of Thrawn’s grasp once their journey was over, Thrawn clearly began plotting his return. At some point between 1BBY and 11ABY, he made contact with the Great Mothers, three powerful witches with ties to the Nightsisters of Dathomir. Together, they hatch a plan to escape, including Thrawn’s loyal servant Morgan Elbeth, who eventually manages to build a ship that can make the journey to another galaxy. What Thrawn and the Great Mothers plan to do now that they have returned to Star WarsThe primary galaxy is anyone’s guess, but it can’t be anything good.

Morgan Elizabeth
Elizabeth was Thrawn’s loyal servant, even after he disappeared
Although Star Wars: Tales of the Empire Revealing more about Lady Morgan Elsbeth’s backstory, it’s still unclear what exactly she was doing during the original Star Wars Trilogy. She met Thrawn shortly before his promotion to Grand Admiral, which happened just before Star Wars Rebels Season 3 in 2BBY. Thanks to The Mandalorian And Tales of the Empires third episode, it is known that Morgan settled on Corvus at some point before 9ABY, meaning it is possible that she moved there during the original trilogy.
It is impossible to know when Thrawn and the Great Mothers made contact with Morgan, but it may have happened shortly after Thrawn arrived on Peridea. Finding the map to Peridea and building a ship capable of jumping between galaxies would have taken enough time, perhaps even years, enough to keep you busy during the original trilogy.. After all, when Ahsoka confronted Morgan in The Mandalorian Season 2, she already knew that the Nightsister was looking for Thrawn.

Baylan Skoll & Shin Hati
Baylan and Shin operated as mercenaries for years
As the only two completely new main characters introduced in AhsokaThe pasts of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are a mystery. Although the series revealed that Skoll was a former Jedi and thus an Order 66 survivor, it did not elaborate on his movements after the fall of the Jedi. Presumably, because Skul made his distaste for war and the cyclical nature of history known to Ahsoka, he became a mercenary shortly after the fall of the Empire. He was probably working as such at the time of the original trilogy.
Shin seems to be about the same age as Ezra or Sabin. As such, Baylan likely discovered her as a Force-sensitive after the dissolution of the Jedi Order. She accompanied him as his apprentice for years, possibly during and after the time of Star WarsOriginal trilogy, although it is impossible to know for sure. Hopefully, with Ahsoka Season 2 on the way, we will learn more about all the characters and how they survived the reign of the empire soon enough.
