Ahsoka Season 1 Finale Lines That Mean More Than You Realized

After Huyang helps him build his new lightsaber, Ezra asks the droid what happened between Ahsoka and Sabine. It's an enlightening moment for the audience, too, as their schism hasn't yet been shown directly in any official "Star Wars" media. "Ahsoka became afraid that Sabine was training as a Jedi for the wrong reasons after what happened on Mandalore," Huyang says. "At the time, Ahsoka felt that if Sabine unlocked her potential, she could become dangerous."

If you've seen "The Mandalorian," you don't need Huyang's explanation of what happened on Mandalore — a genocidal Imperial purge that killed almost every Mandalorian, including Sabine's family. This loss likely hit her extra hard because, as shown in "Rebels," Sabine was ostracized by her family for years. The Imperial occupation of Mandalore forced her parents to disown her, and it took a lot of emotional work for Sabine to forgive them and accept them into her life again. Just a few years later, they and her brother were murdered in the purge.

Working so hard to regain her family, only to have them stripped away, must have been devastating. But Ahsoka's response is also interesting. It sheds more light on why she didn't want to train Grogu — another Mandalorian Jedi — and reveals just how terrified she was of losing another loved one to the dark side. After reuniting with Anakin in the World Between Worlds, however, she doesn't seem scared of that anymore.
