Highlights

  • Ahsoka's potentially sets up major changes for the franchise, including a new era that could affect all mediums, maybe even video games like the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
  • Star Wars video games have historically been self-contained and avoided altering the canon timeline or central characters, but with the potential new era introduced in Ahsoka, there is a chance for Cal Kestis to cross over into the main story.
  • The finale of Ahsoka features plot elements that could greatly impact the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, such as the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn and a tease of the Mortis Gods.

While the Disney+ Star Wars shows have all remained fairly self-contained, they do all tease some potential major changes that could come to the current canon Star Wars timeline. But Ahsoka doesn't just tease those changes, as it finally brings them about, potentially kickstarting a brand-new era for the Star Wars universe that could have massive implications for the rest of the franchise moving forward in every medium, including video games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's inevitable sequel.

Star Wars video games have been even more self-contained than the recent Disney+ shows. While all new Star Wars games are technically canon unless stated otherwise, they still try not to contain anything that would drastically alter the canon timeline or any of its central characters, and as such they've kept their stories quite separate. For instance, while Cal Kestis has met characters like Saw Gerrera who appear across the franchise, Saw isn't then telling other legacy characters about his presence in Rogue One or Andor. But with Ahsoka's ending potentially adding a whole new era to the timeline, there's a real possibility that Cal Kestis could end up crossing over with the main story in the near future.

How Ahsoka's Finale Could Set Up Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's Sequel

How the Star Wars Ahsoka Show Ends

Taking place after the events of The Mandalorian Season 3, and coming about 10 years after the end of Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: Ahsoka sees the titular ex-Jedi investigating rumors that an Imperial Remnant army is forming, with Grand Admiral Thrawn at its center. Along with help from Sabine Wren, Ahsoka travels to a different galaxy in her hunt for Thrawn, finding Ezra Bridger along the way. Together, the three try to stop Thrawn before he can escape back to Star Wars' usual galaxy, but they fail, with only Ezra managing to make it on board Thrawn's flagship, the Chimera.

Star Wars: Ahsoka's finale sees both Ahsoka and Sabine stranded in the other galaxy, alongside the Dark Side users Shin Hati and Baylan Skoll. While Shin Hati turns to leading some native raiders, Baylan Skoll ventures out in search of a mysterious unknown object, place, or being that's reaching out to him via the Force. The final shot of Skoll sees him standing atop a gigantic statue of an elderly man, who's flanked by two other statues on his left and right. These statues depict the Mortis Gods, a trio of ancient beings believed to be the living manifestation of all sides of the Force. Meanwhile, Ezra reunites with Hera Syndulla back in the normal galaxy, but Thrawn is still at large, presumably planning to reunite the Imperial Remnant forces.

What Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's Sequel Could Do with Ahsoka's Finale

Ahsoka's finale has two major plot elements that could end up massively impacting Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's sequel. The first, and by far the most likely plot point, is Grand Admiral Thrawn's return. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith and 9 years before A New Hope, and the end of the game sees Cal Kestis finally reach Tanalorr, a hidden planet where he plans on taking refuge from the Empire. It would make sense for Jedi: Survivor's sequel to skip forward in time and show Cal coming out of refuge and returning to the galaxy after the Empire's defeat, only to have him be dragged into the conflict against Thrawn.

Alternatively, or maybe even additionally, some of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's sequel could revolve around the Mortis Gods. It would be tricky to pull off in a convincing and entertaining way, but Jedi: Survivor's sequel could see Cal Kestis come into contact with these gods, having to his way through various Force dreams and challenges in order to restore balance. Of course, that's a much less likely avenue for Jedi: Survivor's sequel to go down.
