“Ahsoka,” the most anticipated Star Wars series, premiered last week with a double episode. In it, we got to know the characters who will define this series, the politics surrounding them, the role of the villains, and the threat looming over the Republic in the form of Grand Admiral Thrawn. But these two episodes were only a prologue of what was to come, and the third episode has made that clear.
A week after learning everything about Ahsoka, Disney Plus has released the third episode of the Star Wars series. A third installment in which we finally get to see the dynamics of the series and that has served to continue exploring the two main characters of the story: Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren.
An Impressive Chase
The chapter picks up right where the previous one left off: with Ahsoka and Sabine, Jedi and Padawan in the most rebellious way possible, taking off in search of the lost map that pinpoints the location of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Their objective is twofold: stop the Sith enemies in their tracks and, simultaneously, locate Ezra Bridger, the protagonist of Star Wars: Rebels who vanished at the end of the series in a fierce battle with Thrawn.
However, it quickly becomes apparent that they will be on their own in this battle. From the Republic headquarters, Hera Syndulla appeals to the Senate for reinforcements for the mission of the two warriors. Nevertheless, her request is denied, making it clear that Thrawn isn’t considered a threat and accusing her of using Republic resources for a personal cause, such as searching for Ezra.
This leaves Ahsoka and Sabine in a difficult situation, but they don’t give up easily. Throughout the first part of the episode, we see Ahsoka training Sabine in Japanese kendo techniques that are later applied to lightsaber combat. However, despite Sabine being a skilled warrior, she still can’t fully grasp the Force, making that her main goal.
Finally, the two protagonists arrive at the planet they were searching for… and the real threat begins. Ahsoka and Sabine engage in a major space battle alongside their droid against Shin Hati and other enemies of the Republic. The pursuit turns out to be a great spectacle, and although the episode might feel somewhat slow, it eventually unfolds with a landing that makes it clear the series’ future will be even more dynamic and action-packed.
