Along with being a grand space opera with impressive lightsaber fights, Star Wars has always had deep and complex themes permeating throughout the stories. Ahsoka will be no different, and the trailers hint that one of the major thematic threads will be apathy, and exploring how it connects back to George Lucas’ original message of selfishness versus selflessness. This is most clear in the New Republic and the fallen Jedi Baylan Skoll, his apprentice Shin Hati, and Marrok, the former Imperial Inquisitor.Apathy can take on many forms, but it’s always a choice. How a person or group can come to that choice differs. The New Republic has chosen not to take a stand against the Imperial Remnant, and Baylan, Shin, and Marrok have all chosen to become mercenaries, and not to care about the causes that they fight for or the people they work for. They only care about the number of credits they get for a mission. Both display selfishness, bettering themselves at the expense of others. This is a stark contrast to Ahsoka herself, who has embodied what a selfless person should be.Selfishness is a theme that often comes up in a galaxy far, far away, and is sometimes linked to apathy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters take on jobs for their own gain and no one else’s. Iconic bounty hunters like Boba Fett and Cad Bane don’t care who they’re working for, or what their job entails, they just want to maximize their bottom line. They’re even willing to work with evil like Darth Sidious and Darth Vader just to make some quick and easy credits.RELATED: Ahsoka Could Finally Highlight an Unresolved Hera Syndulla MysteryRELATED: Ahsoka’s New Inquisitor Shares an Origin With This Clone Wars Assassin
