Grand Admiral Thrawn was previously believed to be the main villain of the upcoming Ahsoka series, but according to a new rumor from Making Star Wars (MSW), Morgan Elsbeth will be appearing in the upcoming Ahsoka show in a major way. Morgan Elsbeth, who appeared in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, was revealed to have major ties to Thrawn, and it was reported at one time that she would be returning in Ahsoka in some capacity.

Morgan Elsbeth’s Role In Ahsoka

MSW revealed that Elsbeth will be present in the entirety of Ahsoka as a villain, and her role in the upcoming series will be to get Thrawn back to the core worlds from the Unknown Regions, which is exactly the mission Ahsoka and Sabine Wren are on as well, only they are rescuing Ezra Bridger. The report also stated that Elsbeth could have used magic to get away from Ahsoka since she is a Nightsister, but that she likely told the former Jedi where Thrawn is before she escaped.

Ahsoka’s Unique Format

If the rumors are true and the first half of Ahsoka includes footage from the titular character’s duel with Morgan Elsbeth in The Mandalorian, that will be the first time in the Mando-Verse that the overarching story as a whole has gone back to fill in the gaps of something that was already shown. That would also mean that each of the three Mando-Verse titles will follow its own unique formats.

Part 1 will focus on important moments that fans have already seen (the Morgan Elsbeth duel and the mural scene in Star Wars Rebels) to provide more insight into what actually happened. It appears as though Morgan Elsbeth will actually be the main antagonist of the upcoming series, and her abilities will likely be on full display, especially in Part 2 when the characters make it to the Unknown Regions to rescue Thrawn and Ezra.
