Ahsoka’s journey through the galaxy has always been about pushing boundaries, but now it seems she’s breaking right out of them. Recent revelations suggest that Ahsoka’s story may set up a future for Star Wars that takes it further than George Lucas’ wildest dreams. Season 1 of Ahsoka already blew viewers away by exploring a different galaxy altogether—an unexpected leap for the franchise. The second half of the season ventured into this mysterious new corner of the universe, the extragalactic planet of Peridea, thanks to purrgil space whales and the exile of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger. But the story has only just begun.
The new book Star Wars Bestiary, Vol. 1: Creatures of the Galaxy by S. T. Bende offers fresh information that hints at a monumental shift in the Star Wars narrative. It mentions a creature native to Peridea called a Howler, written about by an in-universe scientist named Ardis San Tekka. San Tekka’s confident assertion that these creatures are extragalactic—and not just myth—hints at one significant thing: Peridea and its secrets are not just some old legend. They’re very much real, and if the book takes place after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it means Ahsoka and Sabine Wren found their way back home, making this planet’s existence common knowledge.
Ahsoka’s Return And Its Ripple Effect In The Star Wars Galaxy
With a scientist like Ardis San Tekka documenting Peridea as a confirmed place, it’s clear the rest of the galaxy now recognizes it as an actual world beyond their known universe. This revelation is likely to trigger a whole new wave of exploration and curiosity-driven missions—whether driven by greed, adventure, or simple academic interest. Either way, this proves one critical point: Star Wars is no longer limited to the boundaries of the galaxy George Lucas imagined all those decades ago.
The galaxy may never be the same. The narrative door is now open for explorers, treasure seekers, and rogue travelers to follow the same path Ahsoka charted. Peridea’s discovery, from its strange fauna to its mysterious lore, makes the Star Wars universe an even more expansive playground than we’ve previously known.
The Future Of Star Wars—Going Beyond The Known Universe
Ahsoka seems to be a pivotal first step into this uncharted territory, setting up a much larger venture that expands the scope of Star Wars beyond its original sandbox. With Rey’s New Jedi Order movie on the horizon, there’s a significant chance that these extragalactic elements will come into play. Ahsoka could very well be the series that lays the groundwork for an even bigger, boundary-shattering chapter in Star Wars history.
And even if the saga doesn’t immediately rush into this brand-new galaxy, Peridea’s presence can’t be ignored. Knowledge about an entirely different galaxy won’t just sit around—it’s bound to inspire new missions, spark new conflicts, and give birth to new heroes. Scientists, adventurers, and opportunists alike will surely strive to explore it. This widens the scope of the Star Wars universe exponentially, setting the stage for countless new tales and unimagined opportunities. Whether future Star Wars stories take up this invitation remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: Ahsoka has handed the franchise a key to limitless storytelling possibilities.
The Force just got a whole lot bigger, and the galaxy—or galaxies—await.
