Some parts of Star Wars never go out of style. Every new project has a cute droid, for instance — even the deadly serious Andor slipped one into the mix — while starships and other technologies evolve from previous models earlier in the timeline. The franchise endures its ups and downs in part by adhering to those classic tropes and building Star Wars’ identity in the process. Lucasfilm shepherds them very carefully for those reasons, which helps keep its galaxy thematically unified across generations of different projects.That includes one of Star Wars’ more whimsical elements: animal mounts, which have a long history in fantasy literature and find all kinds of playful permutations in the saga. They’re an easy way to bring color and flavor to the heroes’ adventures. Over the years, the franchise has used them to show details of planetary ecology as well — specifically a food chain — which adds immeasurably to Star Wars’ sense of reality. Ahsoka Season 1, Episode 6, “Part Six: Far, Far Away” adds to that legacy with Sabine Wren’s new best friend.”Far, Far Away” takes place in a different galaxy than the one housing the reborn Republic, where Thrawn and his forces have been hiding in exile since the Empire fell. They’ve had a tough time of it — as revealed by Thrawn’s battle-hardened Night Troopers — and survived in very difficult circumstances. The planet Peridea, where they rendezvous with Baylan Skoll and Morgan Elsbeth, is supposedly rife with threats as well. Their mounts reflect their circumstances — horse-sized canines called howlers with sinister features and abnormally large jaws. Sabine Wren gains one as part of her deal with Skoll, which she uses to travel the planet’s surface as she launches her search for Ezra Bridger.RELATED: Ahsoka Just Made This Obscure Group Star Wars’ Most Powerful
