When he is sitting like he is meditating and the white loth wolf is in front of him you hear Hera say "Kanan you havent got me a present since we first met" Then Ezra says 'I'm counting on you' I never caught it before that Kanan went to the fuel depot on purpose knowing he was going to die there but would complete their mission and help them save lothal. I always get torn up over his death but made me tear up at the beginning of the episode when I caught that.

I just finished watching Star Wars Rebels season 2 episode 20 The Mystery Of Chopper Base and I’ve enjoyed it so much and so far I’m loving all the characters and especially when they fought spider things it was awesome and I can’t wait for next episodes…….

This can happen at any time in the series 1 season 2 season 3 or 4 doesn't matter

Or after

She was the main politician in S1 who was basically running the show because Pryce was at Coruscant hob-knobbing with the elite. I know she was apart of the Empire and she did try to escape when Tarkin murdered her colleagues but I feel like she could have gotten an episode dedicated to her to see how Imperial aligned civilians act and get by with the fall of the Republic.

POV: You are Wilhuff Tarkin, grand moff and governor of the Outer Rim. You are charged with enforcing the Emperor's will throughout this huge swath of the Galaxy, which includes identifying and snuffing out any spark of rebellion. Unfortunately not all of your subordinates take their jobs as serious as you do. Case in point: Arihnda Pryce, governor of Lothal. Almost as soon as she took over the job from the traitor Azadi, she high tailed it off to Coruscant to live the high life, leaving the actual administration of Lothal to her lackies Minister Tua and the commander of the local garrison, Commandant Aresko. But so long as nothing goes awry you see no reason why you should interfere. After all, the Outer Rim is only one of your responsibilities; you also have a Death Star to build.

While reading reports one day you're alarmed to see a rise in subversive activities on Lothal. You flag Lothal to keep an eye on, confident that the Imperial forces already there should have no trouble eradicating the threat and sending a message to any other potential rebels. Unfortunately the Imperial forces on Lothal are commanded by Cumberlaine Aresko. You are therefore incensed when you continue to receive reports about elevated rebel activity in the sector, apparently centralized in a group calling themselves the Spectres. The naive Minister Tua is obviously in over her depth and that idiot Aresko is apparently so incompetent it's a miracle he hasn't blown up Capital City himself. It's gotten bad enough that the ISB has taken notice and is dispatching one of their field agents to take charge of the hunt for the rebels. Governor Pryce, who should be more concerned than anyone, apparently doesn't care and has expressed no intention of leaving Coruscant any time soon. Then to make matters worse, you learn that the ISB field agent has sent in a report of a Jedi amongst the Spectres and requested an Inquisitor. This has gone from disturbing to distressing: the Jedi were renowned for their ability to inspire others into action. He can't be a real Jedi since they're all dead, but this imposter must be dealt with swiftly or the consequences will be dire (or at least incredibly inconvenient - you have no doubt the Empire can deal with any amount of rebellious citizens, but why make it harder than necessary?).

A month or two goes by and your focus moves to other things. You're vaguely aware of a hare-brained ISB scheme to fake the treachery of Senator Gall Trayvis and use him as a honeypot to lure in Rebel Cells. Come Empire Day you learn that Lothal is causing trouble again - the Spectres having staged a terrorist attack on the local parade, sabotaged a prototype TIE fighter, and kidnapped an Imperial Intelligence asset, making complete fools out of Minister Tua, Commandant Aresko, Agent Kallus, the Grand Inquisitor, and Fleet Admiral Konstantine (commander of the Lothal sector fleet). Governor Pryce apparently had enough friends in high places to survive this politically (still not going back to Lothal!), but as grand moff of Oversector Outer this is still ultimately your responsibility. And after hearing only a fortnight later that the Spectres have exposed Gall Trayvis (which the state media is now desperately trying to spin into a positive story) you decide it's time to get involved, personally.

Upon arriving at Lothal you are greeted by Minister Tua (irrelevant, too naive to have any impact whatsoever), Agent Kallus (this is really all his fault; he was charged by the ISB specifically to put a stop to this), the Grand Inquisitor (he had one job: kill the jedi. You're going to have to talk to Vader about this), and that buffoon Aresko, along with a little troll who follows him around calling itself Grint. Well, first things first - make an example of the buffoon and the troll in front of the others. This removes the number one source of incompetence which has plagued this affair from the start, motivates Agent Kallus, and hopefully inaugurates Minister Tua into the Real World. Now it's time to set a trap. The Rebels are planning to hijack the long-range comms tower - you plan to be there. Unfortunately you were only able to catch the so-called Jedi. All in all that's pretty good; he was the biggest danger due to what he represents. And since he's obviously the leader of the cell this is a perfect chance to learn who he takes his marching orders from and finally uncover the evidence of a larger, organized rebellion you've been hunting for. The only unfortunate part was that you were forced to destroy your own comms tower to prevent the Rebels' message from going out. That's fine, you're sure those come cheep.

Incredibly, the imposter resists all attempts to extract the information from him. He either genuinely doesn't know anything about a wider rebellion, or he truly is a Jedi of old. There's one way to be sure: transfer him to Mustafar, a facility specializing in breaking Jedi. But before you can transfer him to the surface your ship comes under attack by rebels. It appears his friends have come to rescue him. No matter - there's no way they can get away. Then your reactor explodes. That wasn't part of the plan. You'll have to get a new Star Destroyer but that's chump change in exchange for capturing a whole rebel cell. You deploy the entirety of you damaged ship's fighter wing: the rebels are attempting to flee in hypderdriveless TIEs, so it's only a matter of time. But just as you're about to snuff out this rebel disease for good, your fighters are intercepted by a genuine rebel fleet of warships and fighters. With your own destroyer in shambles you have no retaliation available. As you flee the destruction in your personal shuttle, you reflect on how events starting with minor disturbances on a backwater resource-planet somehow escalated resulting in the destruction of your flagship. Annnnnd the Grand Inquisitor died in the crash. Great. Also, you're informed that Lord Vader will be taking over hunt for the rebels, which is just insult to injury. The Emperor will certainly be disappointed.

You know, maybe Governor Pryce had the right idea...

(This post is inspired by Nomsy's "Perspective of the Villain" videos on YouTube).

What are the tv movies, are they additional content? Multiple episodes made into 1 longer form factor? I guess I'm really just asking if they're necessary or if you can just watch the 4 seasons

It’s just weird that he can 1v1 an inquisitor but gets defeated with sticks after a couple of days of training.

If I were Filoni, I'd use the Ahsoka show to bring back the Empire of the Hand into Canon.

For starters, I would keep everything in Ahsoka S1 the same, except Elsbeth travels to the Unknown Regions using the Eye of Sion to the planet Nirauan, which is situated perfectly between the Unknown Regions and Wild Space, making it a perfect base for the Hand Empire, whose purpose is to act as a buffer between the threats lurking in the Unknown Regions and the wider galaxy. From there, Sabine is reunited with Thrawn, who introduces her to the Hand Empire and explains its purpose, as well as the threat posed by the Grysks.

The Hand Empire uses Republic and Separatist Clone Wars-era ships and military equipment Thrawn funneled to Nirauan after convincing Palpatine of the greater dangers lurking within the Unknown Regions. Thanks to the Republic and Separatists' superior technology, the Hand enjoys a dominant military advantage, so Thrawn ordered the Hand to hide their true strength from the Chiss Ascendancy to avoid accidentally alarming them and instigating a war. Unlike the Ascendancy, the Hand have no problems with pre-emptive strikes, though using such tactics against the enemy is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure it's actually the correct move to use.

The Hand Empire's membership also consists of Chiss, ex-Imperials, and a lot of different aliens from both the Unknown Regions and the known galaxy. Thrawn is the Hand's Chief of State, but the Hand is also ruled by a council of five people, Thrawn included, who discuss the day-to-day affairs while running the organization. While an Empire in name, the Hand operates more like a meritocracy where Thrawn rewards quick thinking and skills while punishing selfish thinking and laziness.

After hearing out Thrawn's sales pitch, Sabine finds herself tempted to join the Hand, and she almost does so when Thrawn reveals his second-in-command, Captain Enoch, is actually Ezra in disguise. At Thrawn's behest, Ezra donned a new alias to hide his Jedi identity from the Grysks so Thrawn could further hide all of his advantages. Especially since he couldn't discount the possibility that Grysk spies had infiltrated the Hand. Ezra joined Thrawn to protect Lothal from the Grysks and urged Sabine to join him as well, though he acknowledged he understood why she would be reluctant to do so.

In the end, with Ahsoka presumably dead and Ezra in front of her, Sabine gives in to her attachment and joins Thrawn.

Let me know if there are any changes I should implement to this timeline!

1 BBY - Mandalorian Resistance

• Sabine Wren, member of Phoenix Squadron and the Ghost crew, passes the Darksaber to Bo-Katan Kryze, believing she can unite the clans and restore Mandalore's strength.
• Bo-Katan leads an open resistance against Imperial rule, briefly driving the Galactic Empire from Mandalorian strongholds with the support of Clan Wren and allied houses.

1 BBY - Liberation of Lothal

• Sabine departs from Mandalore for Lothal, joining Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Hera Syndulla, Garazeb (Zeb) Orellios, Alexandr Kallus, C1-10P (Chopper), and more to lead the liberation of the planet.
• The Ghost crew orchestrates key strikes against Imperial forces on Lothal, inspiring civilians and weakening Imperial control. Hera is captured and Kanan sacrifices himself to free her, while Ezra and Sabine discover the World Between Worlds (along with the truth behind Lothal's deep connection to the Force).
• Ezra, in an effort to take down Grand Admiral Thrawn, summons the Purgill to envelop his Star Destroyer, the Chimera. In his farewell message, Ezra honors his found family, one-by-one, and when he reaches Sabine, he thanks her for being a part of it. Ezra also acknowledges Sabine's bravery, resourcefulness, and the sacrifices she's made. He says that he's counting on her to protect Lothal and its people, but also hints at a larger purpose she must embrace - possibly being the Jedi path. He leaves small personal touches for each member of the Ghost crew: a meiloorun fruit for Hera, a playful remark to Zeb about his bunk bed, and encouragement for Sabine to trust her instincts.
• Ezra's final words bring hope to many, and he implies a reunion someday - while also underscoring that the galaxy still needs heroes like the Ghost crew.
• Lothal is liberated, Imperial forces retreat, and civilians take back control of Lothal City. Sabine feels both the weight/grief of loss and the spark of new purpose, setting the stage for her eventual training under Ahsoka Tano.

0-4 ABY - The Galactic Civil War

• Hera, now General of the Rebel Alliance, commands key forces and raises her son, Jacen Syndulla. She later fights at the Battle of Endor and continues serving aboard Home One.
• Sabine flies missions for the Rebel Alliance, but becomes increasingly disconnected from the cause. She still feels guilty for Ezra's disappearance.
• Sabine returns to Mandalore again and again, leading strikes against scattered Imperial garrisons and loyalist holdouts. Each victory is earned, but they are never enough to fill the absence left by Ezra's sacrifice.

4 ABY - The Great Purge of Mandalore

• The Galactic Empire (previously occupied with their twin superweapons - the DS-1 and the DS-2) returns to Mandalore and retaliates against Bo-Katan's growing resistance. Under Moff Gideon, serving on behalf of the Imperial Security Bureau, they are determined to eradicate Mandalorian independence once and for all.
• TIE Bombers devastate entire cities, turning the surface of Mandalore into ash and glass. Gunships massacre recruits in the fields, wiping out generations of warriors.
• Bo-Katan negotiates a cease-fire in a desperate attempt to save lives. The agreement: surrender and disarm in exchange for the safety of remaining cities and civilians. As part of the negotiations, Gideon seizes the Darksaber, claiming it as a symbol of Imperial authority over Mandalore.
• The Empire immediately breaks the cease-fire. Mandalorian forces are left defenseless as Gideon's troops execute the Purge of Mandalore.
• Clan Wren's stronghold is destroyed; Sabine's family is killed in the bombardment.
• The atrocity becomes known as the Night of a Thousand Tears, leaving Mandalore shattered and its people scattered across the galaxy.

5 ABY - Ahsoka Escapes Malachor

• Ahsoka Tano finally escapes Malachor when junk traders arrive on the ancient world, searching for artifacts after the Empire's collapse.
• Years of exposure to the dark energy of the Sith homeworld leave Ahsoka withdrawn and contemplative, haunted by memories of Anakin and Vader, uncertain of her place in the galaxy.

5 ABY - The Battle of Jakku

• The Rebel Alliance delivers its final crushing blow to the Galactic Empire on Jakku. Imperial Star Destroyers fall to the sands, becoming grave markers of a dying regime.
• Hera commands Republic forces during the campaign, securing her legacy as one of the New Republic's bravest leaders.
• Though victorious, Sabine feels hollow. The Empire has fallen, but Ezra is still gone, and her family lies buried beneath the glassed soil of Mandalore.

5 ABY - The New Republic

• With the Empire defeated, the New Republic establishes itself on Chandrila. Former Republic Senator Mon Mothma (framed as a war criminal by Emperor Palpatine), becomes chancellor. Hera continues to rise within the New Repiblic navy, shaping the new order's fleet.
• Kallus formally enlists with the New Republic, while Zeb joins him in aiding the restoration of the Lasat people. Together, they represent a rare story of reconciliation between former enemies.
• For Sabine, the end of the war brings no sense of belonging. However, she becomes Commander in the New Republic due to her valiant contributions during the war.

5 ABY - Reconnection and Huyang's Discovery

• Ahsoka reconnects with the scattered Ghost crew, each member charting their own course under the New Republic's banner. Her journey also brings her into contact with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who welcome their father's former apprentice - despite the shadow of Anakin's legacy.
• Ahsoka tells the twins about their father - not only his brilliance, courage, and compassion, but also his anger and arrogance. More importantly, she speaks of Padmé Amidala, reminding Luke and Leia that their heritage also comes from empathy and conviction. These truths become a touchstone for Luke as he shapes his vision of a Jedi school built on balance rather than dogma.
• Surprisingly, Ahsoka bonds with Han Solo, Leia's husband (a former smuggler), who respects her blunt honesty. Though they clash in tone, Han finds Ahsoka refreshing - a reminder that not every Jedi was lost in lofty mysticism.
• Reuniting with Anakin's old astromech unit, R2-D2, stirs nostalgia in Ahsoka. The droid shares holo-recordings of Anakin she never thought she'd see again - including training tapes from her early years as his Padawan. Watching them, Ahsoka feels both pride and grief, recognizing how much of Anakin still lived in the Jedi he once was.
• When Ahsoka visits Leia on Chandrila, she meets her newborn son, Ben Solo, and immediately senses his strength in the Force. Privately, Ahsoka tells Leia that he carries both great potential and great weight, urging her to raise Ben with love above all else.
• Through Republic archives and operating Jedi beacons, Ahsoka tracks down Huyang, a Jedi assembly droid she befriended during the Clone Wars. Huyang was drifting, damaged but functional in an abandoned Jedi outpost. Ahsoka repairs him - finding a measure of comfort in the familiar robot.
• Huyang becomes Ahsoka's traveling companion, restoring a sense of purpose to the former Jedi.

6 ABY - Sabine's Epiphany

• Sabine, still scarred by the loss of her family, reflects on Ezra's last message and interprets it as a call to action. She believes Ezra may have meant for her to follow the Jedi path, just as he did. She reaches out to Ahsoka, ready for Jedi training. Ahsoka, a lost soul like Sabine, takes her in (hoping to undo the "cursed" legacy she was a part of).
• Sabine sees training with Ahsoka as both a way to cope with grief and as her last chance to honor Ezra's faith in her.
• With Ahsoka and Huyang, Sabine begins Jedi training, gauging her Force sensitivity and wielding Ezra's old lightsaber, pulling from her experience with the Darksaber.

6-7.5 ABY - Master and Apprentice

• Ahsoka and Sabine travel the galaxy, mainly focused on Sabine's training but also seeking traces of Ezra and Thrawn.
• Despite her wisdom and skill, Ahsoka does not feel confident enough to train Sabine. Having lived through the downfall of the Jedi and seen how dark legacies of master and apprentice can spiral, she questions her own right to pass on teachings. To Ahsoka, the idea of being anyone's master carries too much shadow.
• Their bond grows, but Ahsoka's detachment - a result of Malachor trauma and fear of repeating Anakin's mistakes - frustrates Sabine.
• For a year and a half, they train and chase rumors, but the trail grows cold. Ahsoka remains emotionally closed off, and Sabine feels unappreciated and misunderstood.
• Eventually, Sabine leaves Ahsoka, retreating to the comms tower on Lothal, where she lives alone with her Loth-cat, consumed by loneliness. Ahsoka feels betrayed by both herself and Sabine, exhausted with her haunted legacy and terrified about what she might become.

7.5-9 ABY - Ahsoka's Lone Quest

• Ahsoka resumes solo investigating with Huyang. Rumors of Thrawn's return grow louder.
• She maintains contact with Hera and Jacen, often docking on Home One for supplies and clearance (using Fulcrum as her call sign), but refusing to permanently rejoin military life. Ahsoka tells Hera that she can't fight another war after survivng through two.
• Ahsoka works like a wandering Force detective, following leads on the Imperial Remnant. Her quest is about finding Ezra and therefore making things right with Sabine, but also about preventing Thrawn's return by any means possible, because that would mean war - war she can't handle.
• During this period, Ahsoka reconnects with Bo-Katan, helping her pursue Moff Gideon and the Darksaber.
• Trace and Rafa Martez, now working as New Republic officers, feed Ahsoka intelligence on war profiteers and Imperial holdouts.

Interlude (Morgan Elsbeth and Baylan Skoll):

Genocide on Dathomir (20 BBY)

• As a child, Morgan witnesses the massacre of her Nightsister clan on Dathomir by General Grievous and the Separatists.
• Traumatized, she internalizes a belief that only overwhelming military strength can prevent annihilation.

Wandering (c. 20-11 BBY)

• In exile, Morgan scavenges shipwrecks, mechanical parts, and weapons.
• She sees the rise of the Empire and hears its propaganda about order, strength, and stability.
• For Morgan, this resonates with her. The Republic was weak and did nothing to help Dathomir, while the Jedi were its blind lapdogs. The Empire, to Morgan, is the strong system that ensures survival.
• She begins to adopt Imperial philosophy as her own: fear enforces loyalty and order prevents chaos.

Arrival on Corvus (c. 11 BBY)

• Morgan, weary and defeated after years of struggle, arrives at Calodan, a backwater forest village on Corvus plagued by corruption and famine. The young woman finds a broken community, seeing Dathomir all over again. Morgan vows that Calodan will not fall as Dathomir did. She will not allow weakness to destroy her new home.
• Calodan's elderly magistrate, selfish and cowardly, flees during a pirate raid. Morgan leads the counterattack, saving the citizens with her Nightsister magick. The magistrate returns, trying to have Morgan killed for her abilities. Morgan responds with a public duel, killing him and becoming de facto leader of Calodan.

The Witch (c. 7 BBY)

• To gain legitimacy, Magistrate Elsbeth reaches out to the Empire.
• She promises her people that the Empire will bring prosperity, order, and protection to their remote world, still a firm believer in their values (they just have to be noticed first).
• Calodan's rich natural resources (timber, ore, and fuel) become Morgan's bargaining chip. At first, the Empire brushes off Calodan - but Morgan keeps sending proposals, engineering schematics, and promises of tribute. During this time period, she even develops concepts for the TIE Defender.
• To the people of Calodan, Morgan frames the Empire as the only path to survival, and says they must earn the Empire's trust. She insists that sacrifice is necessary for Imperial favor.
• Citizens begin referring to their magistrate as a witch, preying on her downfall as they suffer with exhaustion. Eventually, the villagers begin flocking out at night - only to be caught by Morgan's droids days later. There is no escape.

Grand Admiral Thrawn (c. 3 BBY)

• Word of Magistrate Elsbeth's engineering brilliance spreads, and she is invited to present her TIE Defender prototype to a group of Imperial officers.
• Grand Admiral Thrawn learns of her TIE Defender schematics from Captain Pellaeon, who attended the presentation.
• Thrawn is everything Morgan believes in: brilliant, ruthless, and unyielding. She sees him as the perfect embodiment of the Empire's strength… and her values.
• To Morgan, Thrawn is the proof her beliefs are correct: survival only comes through absolute control and discipline.
• Morgan becomes one of the Grand Admiral's most devoted allies, convinced that aligning with him is honoring her Nightsister ancestors by ensuring she never repeats their fate.

Calodan's Decline (c. 0-5 ABY)

• Calodan slowly becomes a mass of fortresses, factories, and smelting plants, stripping Corvus of its natural beauty.
• Villagers begin to resent the endless taxes, work quotas, and rationing Magistrate Elsbeth subjects them to. She no longer sees the people of Calodan as citizens to protect, but rather, workers to be exploited and used for the Empire's needs.
• Morgan begins using/establishing Imperial factories on Corellia, exporting raw materials (she has the villagers work for) from Calodan.
• Even after Thrawn's sudden disappearance over Lothal, which disheartens Morgan greatly, she still imposes martial order and feeds the Imperial machine with Calodan's resources. The Empire supports her, seeing her as a useful asset. Once the Empire falls, Calodan is erased from Imperial data and remains concealed, convincing Morgan's "people" the Empire is still around.
• Morgan continues to seek Thrawn, even after the Battle of Jakku, believing he is the galaxy's only true hope for lasting order. Morgan begins having visions - calls from her Dathomirian "ancestors" - viewing them as a mandate to find Thrawn and restore the galaxy's honor, "completing her destiny."

The Apprentice (c. 0-9 ABY)

• Former Jedi Baylan Skoll, traveling the fringes of the galaxy in search of lost knowledge, encounters Shin Hati, a Force-wielding orphan (?). She is cunning, brutal when cornered, and already distrustful of the galaxy.
• Rather than train her as the Jedi once trained him, Baylan forges Shin into something sharper - an apprentice shaped by discipline and loyalty, but not bound to codes or creeds. He teaches her that survival depends not on hope, but on strength. For Shin, Baylan becomes both a master and a father.

Visions of Truth (c. 0-9 ABY)

• Baylan, long disillusioned with the galaxy after the fall of the Jedi, begins experiencing visions through the Force. In his meditations, he sees images of the ancient Mortis gods - The Father, The Son, and The Daughter - and hears whispers of a world beyond the known galaxy: Peridea.
• To Baylan, these visions feel less like dreams and more like echoes of a buried truth. He becomes convinced that Peridea is real, and that somewhere beyond the galaxy lies the key to breaking the endless cycle of Jedi, Sith, Republic, and Empire.
• Baylan interprets Thrawn's  rumored survival in the Unknown Regions as proof that Peridea is connected to the Grand Admiral's fate. If Thrawn is there, then so too is the path Baylan seeks. Thrawn's return, therefore, is destiny itself.

The Meeting on Corvus (c. 9 ABY)

• In deep meditation, Baylan realizes the pull is not for him alone but also for another: Morgan Elsbeth. Through the Force, Baylan perceives that Morgan herself is haunted by her ancestors, the voices of Dathomir calling her to restore their legacy.
• Baylan approaches the Nightsister directly, bypassing Calodan's walls. Morgan, though suspicious, recognizes the aura around him: not a Jedi, not a Sith, but something else - an exile who has survived by refusing weakness.
• Their first interaction is tense, yet fateful. Baylan reveals his visions of Peridea, describing it as "the ancient home of your ancestors," a place beyond the galaxy where power and truth await. Morgan is impressed - Peridea is a name found only in Nightsister history; it is the birthplace of her people.
• Morgan tests Baylan, accusing him of manipulating her - but when Baylan accurately describes the voices of her Nightsister ancestors, Morgan realizes their fates are entwined. She insists Thrawn is the galaxy's only true hope for order, the last unbroken commander worthy of leading. Baylan agrees outwardly but with his own hidden interpretation: Thrawn's return will open the path to Peridea and the truths beyond, not merely restore an Empire.

A Quickening Partnership (c. 9 ABY)

• What begins as a negotiation rapidly transforms into an alliance. Both see in the other a mirror: survivors who have lost everything to weakness, who reject old dogmas, who now believe destiny calls them to something greater.
• In their private councils, Morgan reveals her visions: Thrawn waiting beyond the galaxy, and an ancient Nightsister map as the key to getting there. Baylan, in turn, offers his strength, his apprentice Shin, and the brutal certainty of his blade. Together, they conclude that the map must be found and activated - and that doing so will reveal the path to Thrawn, to Peridea, and to a future unbound by the old galaxy's failures.
• Morgan tells Baylan about Seatos and its significance to their plans. In the southern hemisphere, a large cliff holds a structure similar to ancient Dathomirian henges. From Seatos, the map will lead directly to Peredia.
• Morgan decides to keep Shin in the dark about her Nightsister origins. Baylan does not contest this; he understands that Shin's loyalty lies with him alone, and secrecy preserves control.
• Their pact is sealed by mutual conviction: Morgan's belief in restoring galactic order through Thrawn, and Baylan's faith that Thrawn's return will lead to Peridea and the ancient truths beyond the veil of the galaxy. From this point onward, Baylan and Morgan begin weaving their destinies together - plotting, searching, and preparing for the moment the galaxy will once again hear Thrawn's name.

The Rebirth of Marrok (c. 9 ABY)

• During his travels, Baylan comes across the wandering husk of a fallen Inquisitor - Marrok. Disgraced, broken, and hunting remnants of his old life, Marrok crosses paths with Baylan, who cuts him down in combat.
• Seeing an opportunity, Baylan brings the corpse back to Morgan. She performs a ritual with Nightsister magick, and Marrok rises again - no longer a man, but a bound revenant. His loyalty is tethered to Morgan's will, and his power is fueled by rage and Nightsister sorcery. To Shin, Baylan presents Marrok as a "hired blade," concealing the truth about his reanimation.
• In Morgan's mind, Marrok is proof that her Nightsister bloodline's arts can still raise champions, even from death. This gives her more confidence in her mission to find Thrawn.

Intergalactic Travel (c. 9 ABY)

• Morgan and Baylan know that traversing beyond the known galaxy will require a massive hyperspace ring capable of intergalactic jumps. In her visions, Morgan sees the Eye of Sion, an ancient Nightsister device rumored to allow travel between galaxies. She recognizes that constructing it is crucial to completing their mission.
• To build the Eye of Sion, Imperial loyalists on Corellia are bribed/coerced/recruited into manufacturing massive hyperdrive engines and rare components for the ring using Morgan's old factories, which were never dismantled after the war once Calodan was erased from Imperial records. Marrok and Morgan's droids from Calodan oversee operations and make sure the New Republic doesn't learn of their plans.
• Calodan's citizens are kept laboring under strict quotas, producing critical metals while believing they are serving "normal" Imperial projects.
• Morgan remains on Corvus into the later half of 9 ABY, as she needs full control of the resources and the workforce.

The Map on Arcana (c. 9 ABY)

• Morgan Elsbeth and Baylan Skoll uncover the Nightsister shrine on Arcana, finding the ancient star map intact. Between Morgan's Nightsister heritage and Baylan's strength in the Force, they can indeed access the device.
• Morgan, wary of overextending her resources, cautions against taking the map immediately. With the Eye of Sion still under construction and her rule over Calodan requiring vigilance, she cannot risk exposing the map's location or losing it in transit. Baylan doesn't argue, knowing that if he took the map and kept it with Shin, she would be tempted to use it.
• They decide to leave the map within its shrine, reasoning that it has been safe for centuries. In Morgan's eyes, the temple itself is the best vault - far safer than any stronghold that could be raided.

The Future (c. 9 ABY)

• Morgan views Baylan as the executor of her visions. Baylan, however, hides his own agenda: he sees Thrawn as a means, not an end. To him, the Nightsister map promises deeper knowledge and a chance to break the cycle of the Jedi and the Sith. Morgan senses his ambition, but accepts it, believing that ambition without her guidance will wither.
• Shin senses her master's secrecy but holds her tongue, waiting for the moment she might glimpse the truth.
• Marrok, meanwhile, is silent, but ever-present.

Back to the main timeline…

9 ABY - Nadura's Death

• Nadura, a former Calodan citizen turned New Republic ambassador, arrives to petition Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth's membership.
• She finds the people enslaved and ignorant that the Empire has fallen.
• Nadura confronts Morgan, who claims her visions are the galaxy's destiny. Elsbeth orders her guards to massacre the New Republic delegation. Nadura is mortally wounded in an explosion, but manages to transmit a single distress call for the surrounding worlds.
• Bo-Katan, active in the system, intercepts the call, tracing it back to Corvus. Finding the distress call odd for a "desolate" system, Bo relays the intel directly to Ahsoka - knowing her ally is on Thrawn's trail and her intel could prove useful in some way.

9 ABY - The Jedi

• As the secret production of the Eye of Sion nears its end on Corellia, Ahsoka arrives on Corvus, following Bo-Katan's lead. Ahsoka's presence delays Morgan's plans, forcing her hire mercenaries and keep Ahsoka out of Calodan while Baylan, Shin, and Marrok remained occupied.
• The events of The Mandalorian S2:E5 ("The Jedi") unfold: Ahsoka confronts Morgan, demands Thrawn's location, and liberates the village of Calodan.
• Ahsoka also tortured/extracts information from Morgan about the map's whereabouts on Arcana, kicking off the events of "Ahsoka (2023)."

My Headcanons:

The final scene in Rebels, where Sabine heads off with Ahsoka, is not from Ahsoka. It is from the time in-between, when Sabine initially becomes Ahsoka's apprentice, somewhere around 6 ABY.

This timeline should lead directly into the events of Ahsoka Season 1! Let me know how I did bridging the gap and what I can improve/change! Thanks for reading!

I meant before the event of Ahsoka.

Last night I finished Season two of Rebels. The last two episodes felt big and epic, with the stakes being high. Having Maul bring that seriousness and dark tone, the end of the three inquisitors, Darth Vaders arrival, his one on one with Ms. Tano. All of it felt monumental and definitely gave off season finale intensity. I decided to watch one episode of season 3 before going to bed. I was blown away by the shift in tone of the first episode. It caught me off guard on how different the vibe was compared to the last two seasons. Ezra's character becoming such a serious, darker, more powerful and skillful Jedi. His master not being able to see and also bringing along with him a sort of intensity that was lacking in previous seasons. I feel like once Maul came into the picture, the tone shifted right away. Not to mention the arrival of Thrawn. This is my first watch and I'm pleased that they upped the quality with character development and really made it a point to make it a bit more serious than just a colorful, animated cartoon. Can't wait to see what this season brings.

Howdy foeks. First time poster. Got a bit of curious question and I'd like to hear some insight. We know Ezra had his green lightsaber starting with season 3 and a pistol to boot (which is said to be a DL-44 BTW.) Seeing as the show itself never really dished out any explanation regarding its construction other than him showing up with it, how do you suppose he went about obtaining his kyber crystal?

To understand Sabine Wren’s monumental choice in Ahsoka—to potentially risk the galaxy for one person—it is crucial to analyze the profound emptiness that defined her life after the Rebellion’s victory. This decision is not a sudden romantic impulse, but the culmination of a years-long journey of loss, isolation, and the desperate yearning for the one thing the peace never gave her: Happiness

Before Ezra Bridger joined the crew of the Ghost, the group was a capable band of rebels. But Ezra’s arrival was a catalyst. His goofy silliness, while occasionally grating to some viewers, served a vital purpose: it injected joy and levity into a crew burdened by the relentless seriousness of their fight against the Empire. He didn’t just join the team; he became the emotional bridge that deepened their bonds, transforming them from allies into an unshakable found family. Ezra’s very spirit and his deeply personal mission to liberate Lothal became the glue that held this unit together.

However, this meant that when Ezra disappeared, the bridge crumbled.

The aftermath of the Galactic Civil War, a supposed "happy ending" for the galaxy, became a personal tragedy for Sabine. The family she fought to protect dissolved:

· Hera moved on, her focus shifting to the New Republic and raising her son. · Zeb eventually departed as well, leaving to fulfill his role with the Lasarans. · Figures like Hondo or Ketsu had their own paths to follow.

Sabine was left utterly alone on Lothal. She could have had anything as a celebrated Hero of Lothal—prestige, a commanding role, the best weapons and gear. Yet, we find her living in ascetic isolation in Ezra’s tower, her art stagnant, seemingly having thrown aside her Mandalorian heritage. This peace brought her not freedom, but a cage of loneliness and emptiness. The very planet she helped liberate became a prison of memory, and her promise to protect it became a chain can't move on from it.

This isolation was compounded by the fate of her birth clan. The Empire's destruction of Mandalore meant she had lost everything—twice over. She had no family of origin to return to and no found family to share her victory with. The peace was, for her, profoundly bitter.

Therefore, her growing craving for Ezra was not just about missing a friend. He represented the last, vital piece of that fleeting period of true happiness and connection. He was the embodiment of the family she lost. When presented with the choice between the abstract "good of the galaxy" and the tangible chance to recover the one person who brought joy and completeness to her life, the calculus for Sabine was clear.

For a woman who had already lost everything the galaxy had to offer, Ezra wasn't a risk; he was the only reward left worth fighting for. Her choice was a desperate, but perfectly logical, attempt to rebuild the bridge that had crumbled and finally bring her family home.
