10 More Star Wars Fan Theories That Became Fact

Anyone who has ever enjoyed the four-season ride that is Star Wars Rebels will know all too well how crucial the World Between Worlds is in the story of Ahsoka Tano.

During that animated show, the Padawan of Anakin Skywalker was pulled into this strange realm by Ezra Bridger just before she could be defeated by Darth Vader. So, with Ahsoka finally being given her own live-action show in 2023, fans were quick to wonder whether this could lead to her returning to the mystical plane of the Force which connects all space and time.

Marketing material for that show seemed to hint at the World Between Worlds being a part of her quest to find Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn, too, with moments in the trailers and even its logo looking like they had some connection to the realm.

Of course, Rosario Dawson's Tano very much ended up back there after being hurled into the ocean by Baylan Skoll on Seatos. Only this time, instead of joining forces with Bridger to fight off the Emperor, Tano came face-to-face with her past as Hayden Christensen's Anakin/Vader finished her training, and viewers were pulled right back into the Clone Wars.

This incredibly compelling, time-travelling sequence was something even those who'd dreamed of a live-action return to this truly bizarre section of the galaxy far, far away weren't fully prepared for, and it gifted fans some of the most epic moments and visuals of the entire Disney Star Wars Era.
