Ahsoka Episode 8 Plot

In the final episode of Ahsoka Season 1, the Jedi protagonist faces a significant threat from Thrawn, which creates a sense of anticipation for a confrontation between the two. Although there might be some new elements introduced, as observed in recent episodes, the main focus of the plot will be on avoiding immediate dangers.
Thrawn already found out that Ahsoka's mentor was Anakin Skywalker, a.k.a. Darth Vader. Since the Grand Admiral is familiar with Anakin's powers, he can probably predict his former apprentice's moves. This may give the villain an advantage over Ahsoka in the season finale. However, the protagonist will have Ezra Bridger and Sabine, both Force-sensitive, on her side supporting her.
Ahsoka Episode 8 might show Thrawn manage to escape Peridea, as he was seen loading mysterious caskets on his ship, so it's likely that we will see future battles against him in another location. We might also see the redemption of Shin Hati, but some fans are already speculating that she might join Thrawn. Of course, fans are also looking forward to the late Ray Stevenson's final appearance as Baylan Skoll.
