Ahsoka
Summary
Lucasfilm ’s Dave Filoni has spoken about how George Lucas’Star Wars : The Clone WarsinspiredAhsoka ’s last scene , which featured statues of theMortis gods . Theend ofAhsokasaw Ray Stevenson ’s Baylan Skoll stand by three massive statues , unlike anything previously seen on the distant planet of Peridea . Viewers familiar withStar Warslore would recognize these as the Mortis gods , mystic avatars of different look of the Force .
talk on theDagobah Dispatchpodcast , Ahsokashowrunner Dave Filoni has explainedthe inspiration for this scene lies with George Lucas himself :
" You know those statues of the Mortis gods , good ? But other people that have never seenRebels , who have never seenClone Wars , they wo n’t roll in the hay . The idea in the conclusion for me is that ’s okay , as long as you translate those are monumental figures and it stand for something , that ’s the power of that prototype . This person has find this massive scale sculpture that ’s unlike anything we ’ve experience on that satellite up to that point , the question you ’re supposed to call for is , “ What does that mean ? ” If you know more than that , that ’s fine . When I was a kid , I watchedA New Hopeand get a line about the Clone Wars and the Jedi Knights . I did n’t know what any of that was , but it did n’t take away from that for me . It just made it feel like there was a good sense of account and depth to the storytelling . That ’s what I was trying to do there . "
Filoni certainly accomplished what he hoped for , with eager looker searching the net to figure out what these statues really were . Since then , there have been unnumberable theories about how the Mortis gods envision into the surely - inevitableAhsokaseason 2- but Filoni ’s words should function as a caveat .
Several exciting Star Wars goggle box shows are set to be released on Disney+ in the come year from the realm of both live - action and vitality .
Star Wars History Doesn’t Always Have To Be Explained
Dave Filoni compares the Mortis god statues to Obi - Wan Kenobi ’s thrown-away quotation of the Clone Wars in the firstStar Warsmovie . As he rightly notes , Lucas included references like this to give a sense of story to the galaxy , ensuring it felt like a veridical space . He did not , however , take to reveal the truth about the Clone Wars until tenner later . They were backstory , but they simply were n’t all important . It ’s quite potential the same is dead on target of the Mortis god statues inAhsoka .
Baylan ’s quest was left as something of a whodunit afterAhsoka ’s close ; he is aware of ancient Jedi legends around Peridea , and he believe he can somehow right an ancient wrong and terminate the cycle of light source and dark across the galaxies . While it seems extremely likely this has something to do with the Mortis gods , that is not necessarily the case . These statues may rest as mere hints of an as - yet - unseen history inAhsokaseason 2 .
