This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Ahsoka" episode 5 — "Shadow Warrior."
The latest episode of "Ahsoka" had all the makings of a classic "Star Wars" story that could bridge the gap between the prequel trilogy, the animated series "Star Wars Rebels," and finally introduce the apparent heir to the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen). Unfortunately, the fifth installment of the series, "Shadow Warrior," (read the /Film review here) felt a little anticlimactic, functioning as more of a mid-season finale to set up the inevitable clash between Ahsoka and Thrawn, and the long-awaited reunion with Ezra Bridger that caused Sabine to enter a shaky truce with Baylon Skoll and Morgan Elsbeth.
Surprisingly, "Shadow Warrior" chooses to draw parallels back to "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Last Jedi" giving Ahsoka her own version of a Force trial, similar to the challenges that Luke experiences on Dagobah and Rey encounters on the remote planet of Ahch-To.
