Ahsoka
Summary
A genius newStar Warstheory draws together clew fromAhsokaand the recentStar warfare : Tales of the Empiretrailerto reveal the origin of the dark side itself . It ’s easy for New viewers to block that the sinister side of the Force is not lifelike ; rather , it is a sexual perversion of the Force , which is why even Palpatine openly let in it is a source ofForce powersmany would consider unnatural . This is why the remainder of the Force involves the destruction of the Sith , rather than some hokey balance between Christ Within and dark;in truth , there should be no drab side at all .
So where did the sour side come from , and how has the galaxy become locked in this eonian cycle of luminosity versus shadow ? This was one of the questions posed byAhsoka , with dark Jedi Baylan Skoll insisting the orphic major planet Peridea - locate in a distant galaxy - is the place where it all began . This was supported byAhsoka ’s ending , which unwrap statues honoring the Mortis idol , cosmic avatars of the Force introduced inStar Wars : The Clone Wars . It ’s reasonable to assumeAhsokaseason 2 will reveal more about the beginning of the dark side .
Ahsoka time of year 2 is confirmed and has received exciting raw chronicle and filming updates . Here ’s everything we acknowledge about the Star Wars project .
Ahsoka Rewrote The Star Wars Galaxy’s Ancient History
What did Ahsoka season 1 reveal about the origins of the dark side?
Ahsokaseason 1 saw Ahsoka Tano follow the Dathomiri Wiccan Morgan Elsbeth and black Jedi Baylan Skoll along thepathway to Peridea , the true homeworld of a Force cult known as the Nightsisters of Dathomiri . The witch of Dathomiri had always possess Force powers that were subtly dissimilar to those wielded by the Jedi and the Sith , and the reason was finally explained ; it is because the Nightsisters originate from a distant galaxy . They learned to jaunt across the intergalactic emptiness by usingStar warfare ' space whales , the purrgil , and settled on the planet Dathomir in the main wandflower .
Crucially , the story of the Dathomiri intersects with that of an ancient race from the mainStar Warsgalaxy - a race ofintergalactic travelers call the Zeffo . Jedi : strike Orderestablished that the Zeffo were powerful Force - sensitives long before the innovation of the Jedi Order , but they fell to the dingy side , with one of their own - Kujet - actually make himself on Dathomir . Curiously , on Peridea , there are runic letter honor Kujet , suggesting that particular Zeffo ruled an intergalactic empire that has become the poppycock of legend in theStar Warsgalaxy .
Tales Of The Empire’s Trailer Hints That Dathomiri Are Not Naturally Dark Siders
The dark side isn’t even natural for the Dathomiri
TheNightsisters of Dathomirhail from the oldStar WarsExpanded Universe ( now dubbed " Legends " ) . Until theTales of the Empiretrailer , it was by and large adopt that all Dathomiri - and presumably all Perideans - were Nightsisters in canon , and that all were tie to the dark side of the Force impart the nature of Nightsister magick . But the late trailer revealsAhsoka ’s Morgan Elsbeth hails from the Singing Mountain Clan ; in Legends , this was a rival clan to the Nightsisters , and they were actually aligned to the light .
acclaim from the satellite Dathomir , Morgan Elsbeth ’s people were almost pass over out during the Clone Wars after their leader , Mother Talzin , became a rival to Darth Sidious himself . Morgan assert loyalty to the Empire , and became a faithful associate of Grand Admiral Thrawn himself . When Thrawn was strand in a remote galaxy , she spearhead exertion to call up him , prompt by visions drift by the Great Mothers of Peridea . She was sacrificed by Thrawn to grease one’s palms him time to escape Peridea , with Ahsoka and her allies maroon there .
This revelation make sensory faculty of the strong-arm difference between Morgan Elsbeth and the Nightsisters , because her pelt is so very different - at least untilAhsoka ’s finis , when she is give the " Gift of Shadows " by theGreat Mothers of Peridea . Blessed ( or cursed ) with the Gift of Shadows , Morgan ’s physical appearance change significantly , becoming more like those of Nightsisters . It ’s reasonable to presume the Gift of Shadows is the cognitive operation that transforms a Dathomiri into a Nightsister , and that it was used to create the first Nightsisters .

The Gift Of Shadows Explains One Major Ahsoka Mystery
Peridea wasn’t always aligned to the dark side of the Force
This hypothesis - that the Dathomiri ( or , rather , Perideans ) were not in the beginning aligned with the dark side at all - explain one stick out mystery story fromAhsoka . The satellite was presented as a purrgil graveyard , dominated by the morose side of the Force , which should have meant it was unacceptable for its inhabitants to ride the purrgil out across the galaxies , because they only came to Peridea to go bad . But now it seems likely Peridea was not always a dark side link ; rather , something change .
The Gift of Shadows had an abiding effect on the planet itself , and Peridea became a piazza of dying .
The report of the Perideans and the Zeffo dovetail joint here , because it now look as though both races changed - decently around the clock time Kujet became swayer of an intergalactic imperium . Something changed on Peridea , something that transmute the Perideans into Nightsisters , something that turned Kujet too to the sorry side of the Force . The Gift of Shadows had an brook upshot on the major planet itself , and Peridea became a berth of end .
Hailing from the planet Dathomir, Morgan Elsbeth’s people were almost wiped out during the Clone Wars after their leader, Mother Talzin, became a rival to Darth Sidious himself. Morgan swore loyalty to the Empire, and became a close associate of Grand Admiral Thrawn himself. When Thrawn was stranded in a distant galaxy, she spearheaded efforts to retrieve him, prompted by visions cast by the Great Mothers of Peridea. She was sacrificed by Thrawn to buy him time to escape Peridea, with Ahsoka and her allies stranded there.
What Is The Source Of The Gift Of Shadows?
Ahsoka’s final may have revealed where the Gift of Shadows came from
But this raises some challenging questions ; if Baylan Skoll is right , and Peridea is the seed of the dark side itself , what happened on Peridea all those millennia ago ? If the Gift of Shadows turned Dathomiri into Nightsisters , where did it come from ? The very name is a clue that this picky magick was cast upon the Dathomiri , offered to them , rather than occurring of course - forevery endowment is given .
The Son could be the one who gave the Gift of Shadows .
This conduct us to theMortis divinity , embodiment of the Force introduced inStar Wars : The Clone Wars . Sometimes referred to as the Force - Wielders , each embodies an aspect of the Force ; the Daughter stands for the light side , the Son represents the dark , and the Father symbolizes Libra the Scales . It ’s noteworthy that there are visual similarity between the Son and the Nightsisters ; he has the same bleached white hide , the same thin and sinister frame , and his great power seem standardized to Nightsister magick . He could be the one who gave the Gift of Shadows .

There ’s an oddly Biblical parallel to this hypothesis ; the estimate that death and darkness was abnormal , entering into the galaxy because those ancient being pick out to take heed to the seductive words of a seductively saturnine being . But this is utterly in preserve withStar Wars , because George Lucas introduced a Messianic aspect into the franchise when he introduced Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One . It would also make signified forAhsokato refer to all these story as legend , because they would have drifted into myth as the millennia fleet .
If this possibility is correct , then Baylan is proper to consider Peridea to be the place where the oscillation of light and dark start . It is theStar Warsequivalent of Eden , a place where darkness entered the world due to a foolish selection , transforming history into roughshod calamity . Baylan believe he has amount to Peridea to somehow redress this , and it ’s illustrious that the Force Ghost of Anakin Skywalker himself is on Peridea inAhsoka ’s coda , so it ’s entirely potential the balance of the Force can indeed be restored as thisStar Warsstory uphold .
