There’s a Sith Temple on Coruscant...
There was material for an episode arc Dave Filoni described at the “Untold Stories” panel in 2016 set after Ahsoka leaves, when she’s immediately dragged back into Jedi business alongside Anakin, Obi Wan and Yoda where they discover a Sith Temple on the ground floor of Coruscant directly under the Jedi Temple. Am I the only one who still wants to see these episodes in one medium or another?
I know there’d be a couple of issues. (Spoilers ahead)
a) Emotionally, it feels as though we experience the first time that Anakin and Obi Wan see Ahsoka again since she left before the Siege of Mandalore. BUT, they’ve been out of contact for months at that point. What if it took place a week or two after she left? Anakin tries to brush it off initially, like “look, you’ve had time to process it, now you can come back” and Ahsoka has to drill it into his head that she won’t do that because she’s still hurting. I wouldn’t be surprised if Anakin tried to keep tabs on her after she left, so meeting up with her again so soon afterwards, with her telling him to give her space would mean that he’d stop. I reckon it’d add even more emotional weight to the scenes where he senses her with the Martez Sisters and lets her go or when he sees her again and immediately asks “how are you - WHERE are you?”. He’s tried to respect her space but it’s taking a lot out of him, so when SHE calls HIM, he’s obviously ecstatic as this feels like permission to slip back into old habits (but they both feel that things have changed). Also! An idea that’d be cool would be if Ahsoka chats with Padmé at the end and Padmé casually drops her some cash so she can buy a speeder (Ahsoka would protest and insist on less, thus, buys a cheaper speeder). Maybe even Padme chatting with Anakin afterwards and then he leaves in the morning for the outer rim for the next, oh idk, NINE MONTHS.
b) How come Ahsoka doesn’t know about Sidious when fighting Maul, even though in these episodes, she protects a holocron from him by sealing herself inside a Sith vault with him electrocuting her up the sabre - easy. She just doesn’t know his name and how much of the war he controlled. She and Anakin have come close to Sidious before this in the “Children of the Force” episode in season two. Makes thematic sense that another close call would happen before the end (also, it means Sidious has even more reason to give Captain Rex a specific order to kill Ahsoka Tano, despite her not being a Jedi).
c) Ahsoka doesn’t have her lightsabers until the Siege of Mandalore... I can imagine that she finds her Shoto that disappeared and after Yoda realises that she still has it, has to convince her to give it back as she is no longer a Jedi (so she has to hand it back to Anakin). Otherwise, she just doesn’t have a lightsaber and uses someone else’s, idk they can get creative (it just sounds like such a cool scene not to include!)
d)... it’d just be a whole lotta fun and would be the sweetest deep dive back into Star Wars lore, potentially drop some references to The Old Republic. Also - I just need some more screen time with these three again??? I love every second that they interact together and I just need more of it.
