Be careful, follow it spoiler!
There was one main topic of conversation among Star Wars fans this week: the Clone Wars flashbacks in Ahsoka’s fifth episode. While we see several key scenes in the thick fog of war of the past Anakin Skywalker and Ashoka Tano experience, an important development is also taking place in the present.
Through their experiences in the World between worlds Ahsoka understands that she is not responsible for Anakin’s downfall. She doesn’t let the pain of the past get her down, but chooses her own path and returns to the world of the living – visibly changed.
Ahsoka the White: Star Wars takes on the Gandalf twist from The Lord of the Rings in Ahsoka Fogle 5
Ahsoka’s character development has strong parallels to the story of Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. First we learn the powerful wizard as Gandalf the Grey know before he is thrown into the depths by the Balrog, fights for his life, drifts into the afterlife and finally as Gandalf the White returns.

Ahsoka the White
Ahsoka also wore a gray cloak at the beginning of the series. She was thrown into the abyss by Baylan Skoll. In the world between worlds she fought for her life and came to the realization that she its task has not yet been completed has. Now she wears bright white robes and the eagles are replaced by space whales.
The Lord of the Rings parallels are no coincidence. Series creator Dave Filoni has always been very transparent about his inspiration behind the creation of Ahsoka. Already in 2019 he posted a small sketch Ahsoka along with Gandalf shows and emphasizes the similarities between the two characters.
