Part 8/10:
A recurring theme in discussion about Ahsoka is Dave Filoni's undeniable influence. A long-time advocate and creator within the franchise, Filoni’s vision often seems to prioritize establishing a shared universe where familiar characters are interconnected at every turn. Critics, including longstanding detractors like the author of this analysis, argue that this approach can lead to over-saturation of characters and convoluted storylines.
Filoni’s penchant for resurrecting or deeply involving characters like Ahsoka—whose death in Revenge of the Sith seemed definitive—has drawn scrutiny. The creator's own cryptic comments, such as comparing Ahsoka to Gandalf, suggest he envisions her as a near-immortal figure whose narrative arc extends beyond typical limits.
