One of Star Wars’ greatest strengths is also the source of its greatest problems: fan expectations. Every fan who forswears the entire universe for one new film or another, just can’t tear themselves away from the saga. For better or worse, each installment does try to service those fans by including connective tissue to the past while telling its own story. The Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker watching over Sabine and Ahsoka in the Season 1 finale of that series isn’t just fan service. It’s an important capstone on the story the show wanted to tell.There is a visual and narrative poetry to Star Wars imbued on the universe by its creator, George Lucas. He deliberately included familiar settings, story beats and visual imagery so that each movie “rhymes” with the other “stanzas” in his epic. Whether Ahsoka can successfully stand on its own is up to each individual viewer. The series created by Dave Filoni was intrinsically connected to narratives that came before from his animated series to The Mandalorian. Still, despite all the in-universe references and stage-setting for a future feature film, Ahsoka did have its own story to tell. It was about the journey of its titular character and her apprentice in the wake of two personally devastating wars. They were perpetually unbalanced in the Force, something Ahsoka’s former master Anakin Skywalker knows a lot about. The final moment in the series is there for story reasons, despite it being excellent fan service.After Disney purchased Lucasfilm, the last Star Wars: The Clone Wars viewers saw of Ahsoka Tano visually mirrored the last shot of Ahsoka’s finale. Only rather than Peridea (a planet in a new galaxy), it was outside the Jedi Temple. Ahsoka had just been cleared of murder charges, and Anakin wanted to welcome her back into the Jedi Order. Instead, she left the order and her master to find her own way. Anakin stood with his back to the camera in the foreground, as Ahsoka walked away into the unknown. Just like before, Star Wars fans will probably see Ahsoka again, but for now this is their last look at their hero.RELATED: Following Ahsoka with Loki Shows Disney Doesn’t Understand Audiences
