So in the vein of that history, when you look at the epilogue of Rebels you don't really know how much time has passed. You do Four, Five and Six and then One, Two, and Three. I think the thing that people will most not understand is they want to go in a linear fashion, but as I learned as a kid, nothing in Star Wars really works in a linear fashion. Dave Filoni, in a recent interview, warned that fans shouldn't be making assumptions about the timeline. This scene took place after the events of Return of the Jedi. She was heading off with Sabine Wren to go search for Ezra, who had blasted off into space with Thrawn to an unknown location in the vastness of space. When last we saw Ahsoka, chronologically speaking within the timeline, was the epilogue in the Star Wars Rebels finale. We come to find out that information is the location of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He must help her get some much-needed information from an enemy. Ultimately, an agreement is made between Mando and Ahsoka. Mando is hoping she will train Grogu in the ways of the Force. Ahsoka meets Baby Yoda, whose official name is Grogu, we come to learn. Warning: spoilers ahead for The Mandalorian Chapter 13, The Jedi.
Now, director Dave Filoni has revealed that the episode doesn't necessarily take place after the Star Wars Rebels series finale, which has huge implications. For one, it brought Rosario Dawson into the fold as Ahsoka Tano, representing the character's live-action debut. As a new episode of The Mandalorian fast approaches, fans are still trying to fully grab hold of everything that happened in the most recent episode, The Jedi.
