The WORLD BETWEEN WORLDS Fully Explained in Ahsoka 

I'm just happy we get to see Skyguy

I like that Dave uses it to further the story while still keeping everything mystical. It may explain one thing but still left not knowing everything about the force.

When it comes to portraying interacting with a dead relative or friend in a dream, I don't think I've seen a scene more perfect than this. They are ghostly and otherworldly in appearance, but still very human. They resemble themselves as you remember, but there is something different from their physical bodies. Most important, they don't interact with you as you would normally alive. Your disbelief in seeing them in the flesh again almost makes you question your sanity. They either keep their distance or remain very silent only somewhat talking to you as if it takes a lot of energy to communicate beyond the grave.

I really enjoyed seeing the World Between Worlds in Ahsoka, looking forward to seeing more of that in the next episode.

If u watch the last ep of Asoka the symbols when they opened the map are like the wolves Ezra saw when opening the world between worlds. When she picked up the map it burned into her hand I think that gave her access to the world between worlds which I believe will give her access to follow them to the other galaxy where Thrawn and Ezzra are

Theory.. Actually we first saw the World Between Worlds in SW Rebels Season One Episode 10, a glimpse of it. Check minute 17:30 and ahead when Ezra gets his Kyber cristal.. Before he gets there, inside the temple we see the same letters on the wall like the letters in the map on Seatos

I’m totally stoked for the WBW it combines so much from both Clone Wars and Rebels. Can’t wait to see how Dave brings this all together, and the implications of it.

There is no “both instances”. There is only one. Ahsoka ALWAYS survived because Ezra ALWAYS saved her. In S2, it’s not revealed to us how she survived, but it’s because Ezra from the future saved her. It’s a paradox.

It would be cool if we get a small live action snippet of Ahsokas battle with darth Vader while shes in the world between worlds

Awesome wish we could know more about this realm I’m a fan of the World between worlds

i like the idea i have heard that the portals are shatterpoints, you can't see every part of the past or future, just the major events that could change huge parts of the timeline

I’m not big on time travel either... But if they decided to retcon sequel trilogy and give us the Luke we deserve, I wouldn't be upset 🤣

Here’s how I think the next episode SHOULD go: Anakin and Ahsoka talk about their adventures, and Anakin reveals to her how he and Skoll know each other. After that, Ahsoka talks about how she regrets not saving him and not being there. Anakin pauses. “Come with me. Let me show you something.” He takes her to a portal where we see him killing the last of the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. Anakin pushes her in and closes the portal. The dark side Anakin is at first overjoyed to see her, but when she tries to convince him to stop, it evolves into an argument about how she left him. At a time of him overcome by darkness, it becomes this (and make sure you grab a tissue, because it’s about to get emotional): Anakin: “Ahsoka. Why did you leave? Where were you when I needed you?” Ahsoka: “I made a choice. I couldn’t stay.” Anakin: “…It was SELFISH. What you did.” (Crying) “N-no…” “You abandoned me! You FAILED me!” His Sith eyes dim, turning into his natural blue, and as he ignites his lightsaber, we see his face clearly, a tear rolling down his cheek. “Do you know what I’ve become?” With a final defiant “NO”, a fight ensues as Anakin tries to kill her, Ahsoka crying the whole time, begging him to stop, saying EVERYTHING she wanted to say, but Anakin doesn’t say a word. Finally, at the end of it: Ahsoka: “I’ll never leave you again! I promise!” Anakin, who was preparing to cut her down, slowly lowers his lightsaber. His robe flowed with the planet’s heat. The only noise there was were the waves of the lava. But to them, it was complete silence, as though in the vacuum of space. Anakin looks away, a final tear rolling down his cheek. He looks back down at Ahsoka. And with a blink of his eyes, the worst happens: Anakin: (His eyes returning to Sith yellow) “Then you will DIE.” He lifts his lightsaber up, and just before he cuts her down, Anakin from the World Between Worlds pulls her through. When she recovers, she drops to her hands and knees, and begins sobbing. Anakin gets down on one knee, and hugs her. Anakin: (Smiling softly) “It was NEVER your fault, Snips.”

i wonder if plagueis had his own way to see into the world between worlds, thats how he knew how to set up the clone wars so well before showing palpatine then palpatine unlifeing him lol

The World between Worlds is awesome, I want to know more about it's history

We need a live action series that doesnt focus on any one character or event or timeline. We get tons of standalone episodes from all across the universe, and the way it ties in to the other shows is that someone is watching these through portals in the world between worlds

I hope anakin has taken his place as the new 'father' balance of the force part, maybe ahsoka is meant to be the new version of thr daughter, and someone else not sure who maybe maul or nobody and its the same darkside dude as the son.

Great video. Only nitpick I have is that Filoni explained it’s not time travel. He likens it to like a library where you can see timelines specific to yourself, to gain knowledge and wisdom. He says when Ezra pulled Ahsoka in, it didn’t change her fate, or the galaxy’s timeline; it didn’t disrupt the timeline - but that he didn’t understand that and he tied to pull Kanan in thinking he could save him. Ezra can’t go into a portal. He was able to pull Ahsoka in, but he couldn’t go to Malachor. And she knew she shouldn’t go to Ezra’s entrance. So the most one could do would be to see the future and try to prevent it by going back to the current timeline. But you can’t go back into the past to change anything.

The World Between Worlds is here, so we either welcome it or not. However, Dave has kept things quite authentic so far, which makes me want to welcome it (I haven't watched Rebels).

Great video, that was a good explanation for the general public to at least understand what the place is. Nice job!

Hey guys I hope your all having a great day, thanks for posting today theory

I greatly appreciate the refresher. As always, love the vids Mr. Theory!!

Next episode, are we going to see a greatest hits from Dave's animated universe, BUT IN LIVE ACTION!? ngl that'd be dope

i hope they come out with a anakin show or sumn that’s all i’m asking for fr bc how you gonna have to chosen one and not have no OP lore of the shit he did as anakin or darth vader, please dave bless us

I’m so ready for episode 5.

0:47 “Still wasn’t physically in the world” Palpatines hand :😶

Something Baylan said to Ashoka has me really thinking. About how she abandon Anakin when he needed her the most. Just before he turns to the dark side. And then all of a sudden, there is Anakin, just before he fell. In a place where Ashoka can change the timeline. Imagine if this happens. This would change EVERYTHING!.

The timeline was NOT changed when Ahsoka was pulled by ezra, even at the end of that fight we got signs that she could still be alive by then, this is more of a fixed event, same as why ezra couldn't save Kanan or why Ahsoka couldn't just use it to save anakin from palpatine and things like that

2:03 : “Imagine going to some place like this where-“ “GET GROCERIES EFFORTLESSLY.” The second quote is an advert for Uber Eats that could NOT have been more perfectly timed. Made my day 😂

you put out the best videos

next episode gonna be so fire

I like to think that the force kind of chooses who can access it. That way there is no real time travel, only those things happen that have to happen. And that’s also why palpatine couldn’t access it.

Next episode's gonna be wild

I hope we really get to see a clone wars flashback

I don't know enough to really make a big inference here, but I wanna know your perspective on this. Is it possible that Dave could use the Clone Wars -> Rebels -> Mandalorian/Ahsoka setup to create a separate timeline? One where *technically* 7-8-9 still exists, but in its own bubble. Can they can create (or alter) a whole new timeline with the stories they've setup? Cal Kestis, Ahsoka, Mando, Grogu, etc. Just curious, since this would be an easy way to either alter the past or create a new timeline. Everything could happen everywhere all at once. So, the events of 7-8-9 can *exist* but we could tell a new story with a different ending in the same setting. It doesn't devalue events, since they'd still exist and happen, but we're able to delve into the idea of balance. There are timelines where the Force creates balance (or "wins"), and there are timelines where the Dark Side creates balance (or "wins"). I'm not super fond of the idea of time travel to alter the "main timeline" but I do enjoy the idea of "everything, everywhere, all at once" to tell multiple stories so we aren't shoehorned by specific creative mistakes along the way. I could be misinterpreting things here, as I'm no expert, but I do enjoy the idea.

The World Between Worlds is a great idea and I love it but yeah it could definitely cause some issues. That said, I don't think any proper Jedi would go about changing the past, looking into possible futures sure because they do that all the time anyway just not to that scale and magnitude. But I do think the World Between Worlds could be used to set up some interesting work arounds. For instance no need to travel through Hyperspace just walk around until you find a door that opens to Sabine or Erza wherever they are.

You are worried about what you can "see" in this world through this video but missing the fact that ezra discovered how to avoid death?!! (ahsokas death) that is way bigger impact, especially for a sith.

Awesome Video!!! I'm Excited to see more of The World Between Worlds in Live Action!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!!!! With Ahsoka AND Anakin in it I think it's Going to be One of The Best Episodes Ever!!!

I feel like this show is primarily made for the fans but at the same time it might be doing something like this in live action simply to introduce it to more people.. Sort of hoping the hardcore fans of rebels wont mind it happening twice. Even though we all speculated the WBW might keep ahsoka alive a little too long. I really hope filoni has her death planned, during heir to empire movie maybe

If palpatine had gotten into this world…. My god, he would make his own timeline where he wins in every possible way. Of course, the best possible outcome of him not being there in the old timeline would be fantastic

Next episode gonna be so good

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

I actually forgot that Ezra had to touch botht he Daughter and the Son on the mural. This implies that only someone who could wield the Light Side and the Dark Side could access it. Which means Palpy would have bit shit out of luck, unless Vader could still do it.

Ashoka’s plot armour is insane

But the WBW doesn't change the timeline. We never see Ahsoka die because she never dies, Ezra was always gonna save her. We saw Kanaan die so Ezra was never gonna save him because he couldn't.

If Dave is given charge of everying and Kathlene is kicked out, I wouldn't mind him using it to make the sequals defunct and instead going through a different branch of the timeline.

A little of topic but I hope we get another sith type character working with thrawn in the new galaxy.

There is a really good clip from the Season 4 Rebels Blu Ray where Filoni explains the WBW. He basically says that it has nothing to really do with time travel. Just look up "Dave Filoni on World Between Worlds"

I’m just happy we are in this position with Star Wars… where we actually are engaged with what’s happening and not pissed

I think you kind of mis-understood the WBW's. It doesn't allow you to mess with time unless that is destined to happen. So think of it like this; Ezra was able to save Ahsoka because that had already happened. So you can't go back in time and kill Luke for example before he is meant to die and because he doesn't die from someone stabbing him through a portal, you can't do that from the WBW. But as an example we do not fully see how the Palpatine dies outside of dropping and seeing an explosion, so in that instance there could be a moment where someone pulls Palpatine into the WBW and shoots something to make that explosion happen. That, if yo uthink about it would be the ONLY real way for Palpatine to have survived the explosion.

i swear star wars is ab to be good again i can feel it GIVE DAVE EVERYTHING DISNEY

The mythology videos like this are the best. Could you put them all in a Playlist or other specific sections on the channel?

I haven't seen anyone say this, and I think it's very crucial. The World Between Worlds will only show you what it wants you to see, so it cannot be meddled with. You can't just open a portal to an exact time and control it, it will only show you what the force allows. The force will guide you through the WBW in the same way it dictates every event.

I need to watch this so I can explain to my dad what’s happening, he got so confused at the end he thought for sure Ashoka was dead 😂

same can't wait for the next episode

love you theory

In legends, there was sith sorcery and magick. Some of the old republic sith lord's new powerful abilities

That was a really good explanation. Good video!

I really enjoyed your video discussing Ahsoka's Fall. I have my own theory, which is that her final trial will be similar to Kanan's. The Force will compel her to confront her former master in his true form, forcing her to confront and ultimately let go of the attachment and grief she still carries with her. I also believe there's a possibility that we might see Anakin knighting her during this ordeal.

REMEMBER: Ezra TRIES to change the past...but Ahsoka makes clear that can't happen. We already saw in the episode with the original fight that she seems to survive. PLUS, remember Filoni himself made clear the WBW has nothing to do with full-on time travel. So anyone thinking this may lead to a decannonizing of the Sequel trilogy...that ain't gonna happen.

I just wish we could see some Mustafar moments, but I don't think there was a budget for that:(

I wonder if we can also get glimpse of the past during the Old Republic, High Republic, or the further future with Legends timeline along side canon timeline. I’m sure disney would never want that to happen, but it would bring fans both old and new together in a very unique way. Personally, I do like the World between Worlds because it showcases something similar to what Mr. Theory does of “What if!”

Well this explanation is just theoretical, even dave says it's not time travel and meddling with the past will destroy the future, and you can only fully exit where you entered. Now does that mean that ahsoka destiny was to always be pulled to this place (daughter of mortis) or does she always survive that encounter with vader anyway so interfering does impact the future, who knows, but you can't just change what you want, hence why kanan can't be saved for example

The WBW will explain how Snoke has been around since the beginning of the Empire, how Palpatine was saved from the 2nd Death Star, and how Palpatine spoke to Ben Solo as “every voice that has ever been in his head”.

Thanks for explaining this

Spot on analysis. Agreed that the WBW is a powder keg for every canon story arc. Dave F may be headed towards a scenario where Anakin and Ashoka fulfill the roles of Mortis Father & Daughter. But I am not sure who the Son could be...

Did you notice in the end of the the arc (end of season 2) we saw Ahsoka? (20:59-Twilight of the apprentice part 2)

I find it funny that the guy they had voice acting him in the clone wars sounded different but people liked it but now Hayden sounds like that normally with a hint of his old voice kinda funny

Amazing video man Thank you so much Greetings from Germany… May the force be with you…

I agree on time travel. Cheapens things.

I hope Thrawn wins, rewrites the sequels

i think when force users try to see the future or sense presence of something from any point in time, they are essentially concentrating their connection to the world between worlds and listening as hard as they can whilst their consciousnous resides there for a moment however the sounds are jumbled between the clarity of lightside truth and the muddy dark side chaos. the more connected you are the better you are at forseeing things

maybe morai led anakin to save ahsoka from her enar death moment just like moari led ezra to save ahsoka from a similar situation

And now Anakin is the overseer of the world between worlds.

I don't mind it so much, but we will have to see how the World Between Worlds (WBW) is handled my Dave. I really didn't like the implementation of the multiverse in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), since it felt like the stakes in movies like Endgame were entirely removed. However, I really enjoy time loop movies where the main character is forced to investigate and fix the "problem" in the plot, or else they will keep looping through time forever. Hopefully we will see how Dave utilizes the WBW in a way that makes sense and doesn't remove stakes and consequences. In Dave we trust 😆

The multi verse is definitely at play here .

I think will bring balance to ahsoka she will see no matter if she stayed or left nothing would have changed. Which will make her more powerful with the force.

Star Wars fans must be reminded that: Star Wars is a sci fi series. Everything you expect in a great sci fi is supposed to be embodied in both Star Wars and in the upcoming Galaxy Wars.

The story of how the World between Worlds intertwines w/ Star wars has not yet been fully hashed out, but ... In the midst of the sequel era, I thought Snoke was a fallen Whill (which I process as younger versions of the force priestesses that taught Yoda at the end of the Clone Wars). They were powerful entities and created the galaxy/universe, all was perfect. But one of them (Snoke) went against their wishes), and almost-biblically introduced evil (the dark side). The world between worlds I thought was the Whills' domain, until "the fall." From that point, they existed in the galaxy (universe) and created The Ones to balance the error that resulted (with Jedi / Sith fighting in the foreground)

So loving this whole concept. Rebels season five is amazing!!! Interesting that Filoni chose Episode FOUR. It's almost as if we now have "A New Hope" for Star Wars!

Star Wars Theory, there's nothing as deep as you may think with the World Between Worlds. The World Between Worlds is what Kenobi said in the New Hope: "The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together". And since the Mortis Family relates to Light, Dark and Balance of the Force, it's only natural to see them connected to the World Between Worlds.

I been seeing other videos about the world between worlds according to Dave folini its not other time lines but Knowledge

Dave himself in an interview said that it’s not time travel. It’s not like the MCU with a bunch of different timelines/universes. It all exists as one as it should

Remember in kenobi when Obi-Wan kept seeing anakin? Maybe it wasn't in his mind but anakin going in and out of the world between worlds guiding Obi-Wan.

Love the content brother been subscribed for a fat minute just had to make a few accounts overtime but ive been subscribed forever 🙌

I think Anakin just modeled his presentation based on how she remembers him, nothing more. It's not the Son.

i'm very curious to learn more about the World between worlds so many different possibilities

I like the world between worlds and I like the fact that’s it’s super hard to access.

I would LOVE a flashback to a younger ashoka, with Ashley doing the voice! Just 1 or 2 lines would be perfect!!

Now I'm hoping you're right about the "Mustafar what-if" scenario, exciting stuff....

Great video!

I love how Theory only likes time travel for Back to the Future. No other franchise can utilize it! 😂

I love how when Theory mentions "pretty much any point in star wars" there are only 6 movie posters on screen with the animated series, so granted, as it should be 😂

Hope they can use this concept to redo the sequel...

I think the world between worlds is how Anakin figured out how to prevent those he loves from dying. He prevented Ashokas death.

5:56 mortis was implied to be outside the normal rules of time as well

imagine darth vader just fighting ahsoka and all of a sudden a portal appears and she just dips lmao he'd be so confused

Qui Gon Jinn said to Yoda on Dagobah during clone wars “I exist where there is no future or past” Sounds pretty similar to the world between worlds doesn’t it

A theory for theory. So I was rewatching the mortis episodes of clone wars and I’ve always noticed that the son says “the chains are the easy part it’s what goes on in here that’s hard” right before he poisons Ahsoka. Maul says the same thing to savage a couple episodes later. Do you think after the son dies maul became the embodiment of the dark, just like Ahsoka did with the light? Maybe he can’t die just like Ahsoka and is plotting his return.

Is it really the Dark Side that the Son is meant to represent? Or is it Darkness? Remember, the Son represents one side of the balance, he was needed as a counterpart to his sister and vice versa. Although the Son became a Dark Sider I woulnd't say that necessarily means he was evil from the beginning. Even at the end he still had more Love in him than Palpatine. The Dark side is Evil itself but darkness, shadow, destruction and death are not necessarily bound to the Dark Side as these things are neither good or evil but essential aspects of the universe. Darkness is needed to keep the balance intact while the Dark Side is all about disturbing the balance. So, maybe, as suggested by The Clone Wars itself, maybe the Son originally was a rather good guy.
