Warning: this article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5 and the series finale of Star Wars Rebels!
Ahsoka Tano may have finally appeared on The Mandalorian, but there's a lot we still don't know about her journey after the events of the original trilogy. And now "The Jedi" director Dave Filoni is casting even more doubt on the Ahsoka timeline, hinting the final scene in Star Wars Rebels may actually take place after The Mandalorian.
Filoni teased a possible nonlinear approach to Ahsoka's story in an interview with Vanity Fair (via ScreenRant). While not confirming one way or the other, Filoni makes it clear fans shouldn't assume The Mandalorian is taking place after the Rebels finale.
For those who haven't seen the entirety of Rebels, the series ends on a fairly open-ended note, with aspiring Jedi Ezra Bridger and his nemesis Grand Admiral Thrawn being dragged across the galaxy aboard a runaway Star Destroyer. The fates of both characters remain a mystery, though it's generally assumed both will eventually reappear, either on The Mandalorian itself or another Star Wars series.
While the majority of that episode takes place before the events of Rogue One and A New Hope, there is a time jump near the end. The final sequence in the Rebels finale features narration from Ahsoka herself, as we see glimpses of the roles Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren and Captain Rex played in defeating the Empire, culminating in a scene where Ahsoka reunites with her friends on Lothal to seek out the missing Ezra and Thrawn.
Based on the context of that episode, it's always been assumed this reunion scene is taking place shortly after the events of Return of the Jedi. The Mandalorian, meanwhile, is set roughly five years after that movie, and Ahsoka makes it clear in "The Jedi" she's on the hunt for Thrawn. Fans have naturally assumed this means Ahsoka is continuing her quest from the Rebels finale, but Filoni's comments cast the episode in a different light. That Rebels reunion scene may have happened later in the Star Wars timeline than we realized. Perhaps Ahsoka doesn't reunite with Hera and Sabine until after she finds the intel she needs on Thrawn's whereabouts.
As ScreenRant points out, this would also imply Sabine has stayed on Lothal in the five years since the fall of the Empire. We've previously speculated Sabine might be the next Rebels character to make the jump to live-action, so it's possible Din Djarin and Grogu's adventures will eventually take them to that familiar planet.
