During the Clone Wars, Ahsoka, along with Masters Kenobi and Skywalker, journeyed to the planet of Mortis. It was there that she and the other Jedi encountered the force beings referred to as the Daughter, the Son, and the Father.

These three were ancient and powerful force beings. The Daughter represented the Force's light side, and the Son served the Dark, while the Father kept his children in balance. The Father, recognizing Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One, wished Skywalker to take his place on Mortis.

Later, Ahsoka was captured by the Son and infected with the Dark Side of the Force. She engaged Anakin and Obi-Wan in combat, giving the Son the upper hand against his family. As Ahsoka was no longer of use to the Son, he drained her of her life-force, killing her.

The Daughter then sacrificed herself, instructing Anakin to channel her life-force into Ahsoka, reviving her. The Daughter was the god-like embodiment of the Light Side of the Force. Does this mean that Ahsoka now has some untold power owing to her connection to the Daughter?

Though we haven't seen any such power manifest through Ahsoka in canon, writers have given us a clue that the Daughter is still very much connected to Ahsoka. This is through the Daughter's companion convor, a bird named Morai.

Morai follows Ahsoka throughout her appearances in canon, showing up in both Clone Wars and Rebels. There are clear signs that Morai is no ordinary bird, as she appears to Ezra in the world between worlds and leads him to save Ahsoka from Darth Vader.

Whatever connection Ahsoka has to the Daughter remains unclear. Still, hopefully, her appearance in season two of The Mandalorian will expand on this intriguing plot thread.
