The sixth chapter of the Ahsoka series on Disney+ revealed much that Star Wars fans have been waiting for since the series was announced. The episode revealed the whereabouts of Ezra Bridger, and how the nine years since he departed changed him. It also revealed Grand Admiral Thrawn, and how little that same time has changed him. However, the revelation of the Great Mothers and the ruins of the Great Witch Kingdom of the Dathomiri make these dark side magic users the most powerful group in all of Star Wars.The Dathomiri can trace their real-world origins to the oft-forgotten TV movie from the 1980s, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. One of the villains, a Force-endowed magic-user named Charal, was born of Lucas’s idea that there were other ways to use the Force than how the Jedi or Sith did. In a later novel, The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton, now classified as Star Wars Legends, introduced the planet Dathomir. In that story, a group of Force-powered witches menaced the Jedi in the past and a stranded garrison of Imperial fighters. It wasn’t until The Clone Wars when a red-robed character design for Sith witches was given to the coven of witches on Dathomir called the Nightsisters. They were allied with Palpatine for a time, until he sent General Grievous and Count Dooku to annihilate them. Save for a few surviving members, like Merrin from the Jedi: Fallen Order game series and Morgan Elsbeth, they are gone from the Star Wars galaxy. However, with the Great Mothers on Peridea, that could change. Even if it doesn’t, settling in two galaxies “before time was counted” makes the Dathomiri witches incredibly powerful.When it comes to powerful people in Star Wars, fans’ minds immediately go to both the Jedi and the Sith. The lightsaber wielding warriors are part of the central conflict of the saga. Before the prequels, the Jedi were strong candidates for “most powerful,” because they’d defeated the Sith a millennia ago. In truth, the dark side zealots just went into hiding, avoiding their hated enemies until Palpatine was able to orchestrated his master plan to eliminate the Jedi Order. Yet, as Snoke said in The Last Jedi, “darkness rises and light to meet it.” Fallen Jedi Baylon Skoll reiterates this idea, when telling Shin Hati about the ongoing cycle that sees the fall of the Jedi and, eventually, its resurgence.RELATED: Ahsoka Fans Don’t Need to Watch Star Wars Rebels, but It Helps
