One Ahsoka Scene Secretly Revealed The Clone Wars’ Impact On The New Republic – & Explained The Empire’s Return

Ahsoka season 1 explored how the New Republic allowed the Empire to return in Star Wars, and one scene secretly revealed how the Clone Wars helped create the problem. Despite the insistence of Hera Syndulla, Carson Teva, and many of their allies, the New Republic Senate immediately dismissed any claims that the Empire was still a threat to the galaxy. This not only sets up Thrawn’s return in Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian Star Wars movie, but it also sets up the rise of the First Order in the sequel trilogy.
