The power of storytelling is a major theme in Ahsoka’s sixth episode, “Part Six: Far Far Away.” In the opening minutes, Ahsoka reminisces on stories Huyang used to tell her and other Jedi younglings about the galaxy’s history. Baylan Skoll describes Peridea, the planet where Grand Admiral Thrawn spent his many years in exile, as “Children’s stories come to life,” a source of folklore even by Star Wars standards. The episode marks the live-action debut of a villain who first appeared in a 1991 Star Wars novel and features three Dathomirian soothsayers inspired by everything from Greek mythology’s Fates to the witches of Macbeth. The subtext, by all accounts, is pretty on the nose.Surprisingly, this episode might be the first Star Wars entry to utter the iconic “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away” phrase in-universe. Its title holds a double meaning as a reference to the franchise and a nod to the heroes’ and villains’ collective odyssey, traveling literal galaxies to find Thrawn and Ezra Bridger after years of searching the cosmos. Like “Shadow Warrior,” the payoff remains satisfying, providing solid characterization and eye-catching visuals while embracing Star Wars’ fantastical mythology in ways no live-action property has really done before.Directed by Jennifer Getzinger, “Far Far Away” quickly leaves Ahsoka and Huyang behind after the prologue, instead focusing on Baylan, Shin Hati, and Morgan Elsbeth’s arrival on Peridea, with Sabine Wren as their captive. They meet three ancient Nightsisters, referred to as the Great Mothers, who direct them to Thrawn’s ship, the IDS Chimaera. The Star Destroyer Star Wars Rebels fans watched get yanked into hyperspace by Purrgil is still functional — albeit decrepit and rundown — and still boasts a sizable Stormtrooper army, with Thrawn commanding a more fanatical authority than his Rebels/EU days. A devotion that, per his opening line, “What was first just a dream had become a frightening reality for those who oppose us,” seriously backs up rumors of Dave Filoni wanting his future Star Wars movie to be an updated Heir to the Empire adaptation.RELATED: Star Wars’ Dave Filoni Knows How Ahsoka and Luke Skywalker Met
