With 11 feature films, six live-action series, nine animated series — and, lest we forget, one holiday special — the original “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope” is starting to feel like it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. “Ahsoka” occupies an interesting spot at the nexus of “Star Wars” storytelling from the past couple decades, though.
The Disney+ series acts as a bridge between the worlds of Dave Filoni’s work on the excellent animated “Rebels” and the innovative technical approach to “The Mandalorian.” Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), former apprentice to Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), may have the challenge of trying to preserve the galaxy in the face of sinister threats from Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) and others, but “Ahsoka” has the challenge of blending templates set in animation with the demands of live-action — and pushing both forward, as the show takes Ahsoka and the...

In terms of narrative style, Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian is a far cry from the Skywalker Saga. Though despite this active effort to put a different spin on the story of the bounty hunter Din Djarin and his sidekick Baby Yoda, every episode is full of references and Easter Eggs to other Star Wars stories and media.
Even the most recent chapter, featuring the live-action debut of Ahsoka Tano, was no exception in this regard. In fact, it appears that apart from numerous references to the days of the Galactic Republic, namely Order 66 and the fall of Anakin Skywalker, there’s also something about Calodan’s magistrate, Morgan Elsbeth, that we all missed.
Of course, there’s no denying that the character was unheard of before the events of the latest episode. Though if you want to take Snips’ word for it, she was an essential figure in constructing Emperor Palpatine’s fleet.
