Ahsoka’s finale title, “Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch and the Warlord,” seems like a reference to C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from the Chronicles of Narnia series. The series is a classic of the portal fantasy genre. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe focuses on the Pevensie siblings as they are transported to Narnia through a wardrobe. Once there, the siblings must help the noble lion king Aslan defeat the Witch who has declared herself Queen of Narnia. At the novel’s end, the children are transported back to war-torn England, but their adventures allow them to return to Narnia later on.While Ahsoka’s finale title choice could just be clever wordplay, it also does recontextualize Ezra’s journey to the Peridea galaxy as a portal fantasy and highlights the series’ focus on the Force and mysticism. Star Wars has always been a mix of science fiction and fantasy, but this recontextualization focuses more on the folklore of the Star Wars universe. Ezra’s return cements the connection to portal fantasy, and he will bring his experiences on Peridea back to the main galaxy as the New Republic prepares to combat Grand Admiral Thrawn’s return.While Ahsoka is not a direct adaptation of C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, there are similarities between the two works. First, the journey to Peridea, like the journey to Narnia, could be classified as portal fantasy. As Annika Barranti Klein explains for Book Riot, “In portal fantasy, a person is transported from one world to another by some sort of magic, usually (but not always!) through a specific place or object such as a wardrobe, rabbit hole, or mirror.” In anime, portal fantasy is also known as the isekai genre.RELATED: Ahsoka Sets Up a Chance to Redefine Kylo Ren’s Biggest Misstep
