Is Ahsoka setting up the Nightsisters for a bigger role across the Star Wars Franchise? Here's [...]
Star Wars: Ahsoka has been surprising in its clear aim to bring a set of characters that have existed on the periphery of the franchise into mainstream focus: The Nightsisters of Dathomir. After originally appearing in the Star Wars Legends universe, George Lucas made them canon by introducing them into the Clone Wars animated series . Since that canonized debut, the Nightsisters and their culture have slowly but surely had a growing presence in Star Wars.
During the storyline of"Far, Far, Away, Dark Jedi Baylan Skoll reveals to his apprentice Shin Hati that the reason they are on Peridea is to unearth a power buried there – one that Baylan believes can break the cycle of the Jedi rising to power, only to be crushed by the rise of evil, only to triumph over that evil and rise again.
There are two Star Wars films in development that will serve as bookends to the franchise timeline: one is James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi movie, and the other is the New Jedi Order movie, which follows Daisy Ridley's Rey as an older Jedi Master trying to restore the Order. Both of the projects have the potential to feature the Nightsisters as new sorts of antagonists and can draw from the developments of both Ahsoka and the New Republic battle against Thrawn that will follow.
