The first two episodes of “Ahsoka,” notably, do a lot of work to set up its heroes’ search for Ezra as the show’s core plot. Revealing that Ezra has not only secretly been under Sabine and Ahsoka’s noses but has also turned to the Dark Side since viewers last saw him would be so shocking that it’d border on frustrating — if not downright disappointing. As u/JediC94 wrote on Reddit, “If Ahsoka and Sabine spend the whole season going on a wild goose chase, I don’t know how satisfying that would be.”

In another comment, u/siurian477 noted that turning Ezra into a Dark Side mercenary for Morgan Elsbeth off-screen would permanently taint his character arc on “Star Wars Rebels.” Beyond just the narrative and thematic risks associated with this kind of twist, though, it’s worth noting that it wouldn’t make much sense for Ezra to secretly be Marrok. After all, the last time fans saw Ezra, he was being taken to the same distant location as his then-captive, Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen).

Taking that into account, “Ahsoka” Episode 2 reveals that Thrawn is stranded in another galaxy known as Peridea, so it seems safe to assume that’s where Ezra is as well. If he isn’t, then “Ahsoka” will have to do a lot to explain how he managed to make it back home without Thrawn following him. Fortunately, with only six more installments to go before “Ahsoka” wraps up its 8-episode first season, “Star Wars” fans likely won’t have to wait too much longer to find out the truth about both Marrok and Ezra Bridger.
