“From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought with the Balrog of Morgoth…..Until at last I threw down my enemy and smote its ruin upon the mountainside….Darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time….The stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as a life age of the earth…..But it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I’ve been sent back until my task is done.”
-Gandalf The White (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)
In episode four of the Ahsoka series, “Fallen Jedi”, Ahsoka was driven off a cliff to her apparent death during her duel with Baylan Skoll but was later revealed to have ended up in the “World Between Worlds,” a mystical plane within the Force that serves as a collection of doors and pathways existing between time and space, linking all moments in time together. The World Between Worlds was first introduced in Rebels. There, Ahsoka encountered a representation of her former master, Anakin Skywalker, as he appeared during The Clone Wars.
In the most recent episode, "Shadow Warrior", she was forced to confront her past involvement during the Clone Wars, where she came to believe that she could only be a warrior, not a “keeper of the peace,” as the Jedi Order originally taught her. She was also forced to confront Anakin in lightsaber combat, having only been instructed by Anakin to either “live or die". After finally mastering her final lesson, Ahsoka was returned to the sea she had fallen into during her duel and was subsequently rescued by Hera and her small task force, with the aid of Hera’s Force-sensitive son, Jacen, who was able to sense Ahsoka and her lightsaber duel with Anakin.

In a manner reminiscent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ahsoka, much like Gandalf after his apparent death. dressed up in white and was reborn as a more powerful version of herself. Although Ahsoka has had several brushes with death up to this point, including her experience with Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mortis during the Clone Wars, where she died but was subsequently brought back to life by the “Daughter,” or the embodiment of the light side of the Force at the expense of the Daughter’s existence.
In the second season of Star Wars Rebels, Ahsoka was forced to confront Darth Vader in an attempt to save Ezra and Kanan in a Sith temple on Malachor, apparently dying in the process. In the fourth season of Rebels, Ezra inadvertently discovered the World Between Worlds and used a portal within it to pull Ahsoka into it, rescuing her from her apparent death. When Ahsoka was seen again in the epilogue of Rebels, she appeared clad from head to toe in white, signifying her rebirth and return or as, one might call her, “Ahsoka The White.” However, future post-Rebels appearances of Ahsoka in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett changed her appearance back to how she appeared before this.

The most recent episode of Ahsoka shows Ahsoka undergoing a similar transformation after her rescue and revival, not only in terms of her appearance but seemingly in her temperament as well. Whereas she had been more stoic in her previous appearances, she seemed lighter in mood and seemed to demonstrate a renewed sense of purpose and resolve to complete her mission of stopping Thrawn’s return. She successfully communicated with the Purrgil residing in the atmosphere of Seatos and was able to convince them to help her travel the great distance to Peridea to intercept the Eye of Sion. Just as Gandalf the White helped bring back hope and a renewed spirit to save Middle Earth from the clutches of Sauron, Ahsoka’s rebirth will hopefully bring back a sense of hope and resolve in the galaxy toward stopping Thrawn and his Imperial allies, and saving Sabine and Ezra.
