Ahsoka Season 1 Episode 1 & 2 Breakdown & Easter Eggs
The first two episodes of Ahsoka Season 1 are now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia. I’ll be discussing heavy spoilers so if you haven’t seen it or want to avoid spoilers, now’s your chance to stop reading.
Check out my spoiler-free review of Ahsoka by heading over here.
Set after the fall of the Empire, “Star Wars: Ahsoka” follows the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.
In addition to Rosario Dawson in the title role, “Ahsoka” stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn and Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger.
The series is written by Dave Filoni, who executive produces alongside Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson, and Carrie Beck. Karen Gilchrist is the co-executive producer.

Ahsoka Episode 1 Begins With The Franchise’s Iconic Opening Crawl, Which Is A First For A Disney+ Star Wars Series
None of the other previous Star Wars series and shows on Disney+ has had the classic opening crawl. That being said, the opening crawl text in Ahsoka Episode 1 is a bit off because it isn’t slanted like the usual iconic style of the opening crawl text in the movies.
Ray Stevenson passed away several months ago in May 2023, and this is the late actor as the new antagonist known only as Baylan Skoll for now.
RIP to the late actor.
Diana Lee Inosanto reprises her role as the former magistrate of the city of Calodan on the planet Corvus. She is working with Grand Admiral Thrawn and she was captured by Ahsoka Tano back in The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 5 ‘The Jedi’.
Now Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are breaking her out of the New Republic ship, probably because they’re also working with Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Huyang (voiced by Doctor Who star David Tennant) originally first appeared in the Star Wars The Clone Wars animated series. Huyang was a Mark IV architect droid professor based aboard the Jedi vessel Crucible who, for a thousand generations, taught Jedi younglings, including Grand Master Yoda and Jedi Master Mace Windu, how to construct their lightsabers.
This means that he survived Order 66 and is now helping Ahsoka Tano.
In the Star Wars Rebels animated series, Fulcrum was a title used by several Rebel Alliance informants, the first of which was Ahsoka Tano herself.
Hera Syndulla is a character from Star Wars Rebels and she was part of the original crew of the Ghost. She is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Ahsoka.
The last time we saw Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars canon was in the last episode of Star Wars Rebels Season 4 when Ezra Bridger and a bunch of Purgill brought Thrawn somewhere unknown and far away. Ahsoka Tano has been searching for them ever since.
This is the first time that we’re seeing the planet Lothal in live-action. Lothal is the home planet of Star Wars Rebels protagonist Ezra Bridger. In this scene, another Star Wars Rebels character makes his live-action debut as well, with Clancy Brown as Ryder Azadi, the former Governor of Lothal and a friend who fought alongside Ezra and the crew of the Ghost.
This mural first appeared in the final episode of Star Wars Rebels Season 4, depicting the crew of the Ghost. It was drawn by Sabine Wren herself, who is an artist.
Sabine Wren is one of the original members of the crew of the Ghost in Star Wars Rebels. She is played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo in Ahsoka.
Yes, Loth-Cats are creatures native to the planet Lothal and first made their debut in the Star Wars Rebels animated series as well.
In case you didn’t know (if you haven’t watched Star Wars Rebels), Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian and that’s a Mandalorian helmet under the table. It seems like she hasn’t worn one in a long time.
Ezra Bridger makes his live-action debut via hologram. He’s played by Eman Esfandi in Ahsoka. Like I previously mentioned, the last time we saw him in Star Wars canon was in the last episode of Star Wars Rebels Season 4 when he and a bunch of Purgill brought Thrawn somewhere unknown and far away.
No wonder she could hold her own fighting Ahsoka Tano.
The Nightsisters Of Dathomir were witches capable of using Force magic on the planet Dathomir, which was also the home planet of Darth Maul. Most of them were killed and murdered by Darth Maul himself in the Star Wars The Clone Wars animated series.
This was already revealed in one of the Ahsoka trailers but yeah, it turns out that Sabine Wren used to train as a Jedi under Ahsoka Tano sometime after the end of Star Wars Rebels. However, it looks like they left things off on a sour note and Sabine never completed her training for some as-of-yet unknown reason.
Huyang recognizes Baylan Skoll as a former Jedi from his lightsaber hilt design.
Yeah, that’s Ezra Bridger’s green lightsaber that Sabine Wren is using.
In a shocking turn of events, Sabine Wren gets stabbed by a lightsaber.
Is she dead?
Let’s see in Episode 2.
Sabrine survived getting stabbed in the side by Shin Hati’s lightsaber.
According to the star map, Thrawn is apparently located somewhere outside the known galaxy using a way called the Pathway To Peridea.
C1-10P, or Chopper, is the C-1 Astromech that was part of the Ghost crew in Star Wars Rebels. It’s nice to see his debut in live-action, along with the Ghost itself.
Huyang says that her “Force aptitude” falls short of every Padawan he’s seen, but he still encourages her to keep training as a Jedi. What’s the point if she’s not that Force-sensitive?
On Corellia, Ahsoka and Hera encounter Imperial supporters and sympathisers, who are hiding a mysterious shipment transporting material for the construction of something unknown.
We still don’t know who Marrok is. He seems to be surviving Inquisitor, but that doesn’t make sense considering almost all of them have died. This is a tantalizing mystery.
Apparently, the Eye Of Sion will help reach Grand Admiral Thrawn in the “far galaxy”, so it’s probably a giant portal or something.
Maybe the Eye Of Sion will utilize the World Between Worlds to cut across time and space or something.
That’s it, folks, it’s been a wild first two episodes for Ahsoka.
Until next week, excelsior!
