Grand Admiral Thrawn’s introduction to Ahsoka might be enough to send a chill down your spine, but viewers think something worse is on its way.
During the latest episode of the Star Wars spin-off show, Morgan Elsbeth, Sabine Wren, Shin Hati, and Baylan Skoll arrive in Peridea to find Thrawn and his army of Night Troopers. As they navigate how to leave the planet, it seems there may be something else lingering in wait for them there.
Shin warns that the Great Mothers seem eager to leave the planet. "Perhaps they flee a power greater than their own," Baylan replies. "Something calls to me, can’t you hear it? Something stirs here." Just what that "something" is has led to a lot of speculation among Star Wars fans.
"I want to know what that ‘something stirring’ is that Baylan said he felt," wrote a viewer on Reddit. "Both Thrawn and the Great Mothers seem very VERY desperate to get off world. Thrawn I understand but the Mothers seem like they’re in a massive hurry to gtfo. Whatever is hidden on that world must be big."
Others have some more ideas, including that it may be the terrifying alien species, the Grysk who appeared in the Thrawn novels. However, others think the new threat will be magical in nature, given the introduction of the Nightsisters of Dathomir. Another theory is maybe the Abeloth from the Legends continuity, as one wrote, "From what I remember she’s basically the living embodiment of chaos and destruction."
"I’m getting strong vibes that Baylan is way too overconfident for his own good and this source of power is going to be his undoing," another speculated. A final user simply put it: "Ditch that galaxy and throw away the keys."
However, there’s also a different theory altogether, which is that Thrawn might be this franchise answer to Thanos, as we build up to Dave Filoni’s Mandoverse movie. Summing this up, a Redditor suggested: "I'm pretty sure this is all supposed to build to a Filoni-made Avengers-esque mashup movie with all the Mando era characters. I can't picture a better villain for that than Thrawn, so I'm sure he makes it back."
The next episode of Ahsoka may hold some more answers when it returns on Disney Plus next week. In the meantime, check out our guides to:

Let’s say you’re hanging out with some people who’ve known each other for a long time. Maybe longer than they’ve known you. They have all these hilarious in-jokes and constantly reference times they hung out together. Times which you were, notably, not present for. It’s all they do. They never bring you up to speed or endeavor to discuss things you might know about. What a bunch of assholes, right? Ahsoka is like one of those jerks.
Baylan has been one of the most mysterious characters throughout the whole run of Ahsoka, as the force-sensitive mercenary treads the intriguing line between dark and light. Now one Star Wars fan has spotted a striking similarity to A New Hope that could hint at how his path will unfold in the show’s season finale.
Ahsoka episode 7 featured another big name drop to a major Star Wars character, and fans are predicting it might be lining up a cameo in the show’s finale. We’re getting into spoiler territory for the latest episode from here on out, so make sure you’re up to date before reading any further.

The episode 7 leaks are in, and those willing to discover its potential spoilers are in for a treat. After being spot on about the episode 6 spoilers, we’ve compiled a few legitimate leaks for episode 7, which might turn out to be correct again. Here’s the list.
Star Wars has certainly had a fair share of fantasy elements baked into its DNA from the beginning. From its central “chosen one” monomyth to its deployment of the “special weapon” trope to a central plot arc that can be described as “storming a castle to rescue a princess,” Star Wars has never been a purely science-fiction story. Yet George Lucas has made it very clear that science-fiction stories like Buck Rogers and Frank Herbert’s Dunewere a much larger influence on him than the foundational fantasy of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Grand Admiral Thrawn arrived when the Star Wars universe needed him most. With the movie series effectively dead after Return of the Jedi, author Timothy Zahn stepped in on assignment from Lucasfilm and its partner Bantam Spectra to come up with a Darth Vader-level character who could rival Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa in the post-Empire years, and an adventure that would resuscitate the biggest blockbuster franchise of all time with mere prose. Boy, did he.
