Anakin Skywalker has finally made a highly-anticipated comeback in the latest episode of Ahsoka. But although Star Wars fans were delighted to see Hayden Christensen's return to the franchise, it also sparked numerous speculations among viewers. After all, the final moments of the episode concluded with a foreboding musical Easter egg. In addition to that, Anakin appeared to be wielding Darth Vader's lightsaber.
So are we in for a terrible revelation in the Disney+ series? One eagle-eyed fan may have confirmed Anakin's true intentions in his amazing return.
In Ahsoka Episode 4, Ahsoka Tano faced off against Baylan Skoll but was overwhelmed by the former Jedi. Although it looked like Ahsoka fell to her death, it is revealed she ended up in the World Between Worlds where she encounters her former Master. It's already a hopeful scene but as everything fades to black, Vader's theme is played.
The music itself already caused a lot of concern but viewers also noted that the lightsaber on Anakin's side is black just like Vader's. But all is not lost as one vigilant fan has uncovered a crucial detail – Anakin is, in fact, wielding his own lightsaber.
Through meticulous analysis, it becomes evident that the mystical World Between Worlds is casting a reflection onto the lightsaber's silver surface, creating the illusion of it resembling its dark counterpart. This revelation provides a glimmer of hope for fans, hinting that Anakin's return may not be as sinister as initially feared and that there could be a more complex and nuanced storyline at play in Ahsoka.
So what's in store for Ahsoka now that she has reunited with Anakin? There's a lot to discuss between the two and there is little doubt we'll learn a lot from their interaction. In addition to that, we're hoping that the World Between Worlds will finally bring back Ezra Bridger in the fifth episode.
Ahsoka Episode 4 is already streaming on Disney+. The fifth episode, which is written and directed by Dave Filoni, has not yet been given an official release date. It is already set to premiere on the streaming service on Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
