The series finale of Ahsoka is tonight and I thought I'd go on record with my predictions (not that anyone cares or will even read this).
Here they are:
- Baylon Skoll will discover the thing/person who has been calling to him and he will die or be irrevocably changed/defeated in the process. Throughout the series he has been set up as a very powerful force wielder. Ahsoka has come up against him twice. Once she lost and the other time he didn't win. If the final "big bad" is going to convine those of us who don't participate in the Expanded Universe that it really is big, really is bad and is horribly frightening the writers have to show us - they can't just tell us. The best way to show us is to kill the most powerful person in the series and that's Baylon. They can't kill Ahsoka, it's her show. That's why she hasn't defeated Baylon - they need him to be defeated by the Big Bad to show us how frightening the Big Bad is.
- Thrawn will make it back to the original galaxy. He will take the witches (sigh) with him. I'm pretty sure the others except Baylon will make it back too but I suppose it is possible Ahsoka, Ezra and Sabine could be stranded until next year. Maybe fighting the Big Bad. (I'm hoping whatever the Big Bad is, they will just leave it in the other Galaxy.) None of them will die - the death of Baylon will be enough.
- At some point Ezra will use a light saber and make some quip about how it's all coming back to him. (But I think he will eventually construct a new light saber of his own when he gets back to the main galaxy - although I like the idea of him finding Kanin's light saber which many people have thrown out as an idea.)
- Although Shin wants to throw in her lot with Thrawn, the witches PLUS zombies will be too much for her. (I don't really care for Shin but in some ways she is a stand in for the audience every time she says "witches?" Zombies haven't shown up yet but I predict that if they do, that will be too much even for her). Thrawn will have to show some of his hand or we fans are going to wonder why we should really be worried about him getting back to the main galaxy.
- Shin will not be "redeemed" - if she ends up with Ahsoka and company it will be because she is stranded like them and has no other choice. But wherever she is I predict she will magically continue to have time to apply all that eye makeup even though she hasn't had time even for a bath. Same for Sabine.
- I predict they will NOT return via the World Between Worlds. Ahsoka already made it clear in Rebels that everyone has to go out the way they come in or chaos will ensue. And Dave Filoni has said it is a place meant for knowledge not travelling between times. This is not to say that the WBW will not come into it in the final episode, I just predict they won't use it to return.
- They will NOT fully resolve the looming issue between Ezra and Sabine over her not telling him how she got there. I think they will let that character issue arise in the episode and then be resolved next season.
- There will be a post-credits scene.
- Not a prediction, but speculation. Whatever the Big Bad is, it will not be resolved without Anakin who may be set up to be the most powerful being in the Galaxy (the Father?) and finally bring meaning to the phrase "bring balance to the Force" (which I've never thought had much meaning at the end of the original trilogy). Part of me thinks that would be cool but part of me thinks that would be a problem in a series entitled Ahsoka. Seems like Ahsoka should be the hero in her own series.
