Ahsoka, the new Star Wars series, is openly aimed at fans who are most familiar with the galactic franchise. His constant connections and references to past projects are evidence of this.

After all his adventure with Anakin in the world between worlds Ahsoka returns to reality and is rescued by New Republic forces led by Hera. After rest and relaxation, The protagonist dresses in an obvious homage to Gandalf the eternal wizard of the saga created by JRR Tolkien.

With this renewed mentality The warrior decides to go looking for her own Padawan Sabine, as well Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn. The white tunic is the counterpart to the gray poncho he wore in the first few episodes., when she met with Sabine, even though she wasn’t convinced about it. This duality is the same from which Gandalf suffered Lord of the Rings.
The wizard was known as Gandalf the Gray until he fought the Balrog in The Fellowship of the Ring. After this bloody battle, he was reborn with a much purer spirit in The Two Towers as Gandalf the White. Dave Filoni wanted to continue the same character development with Ahsoka, something that had previously been expected.
“Dave and I talked a lot about Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White, we talked about that transition and that she is someone who is very capable, excellent, and admired as a leader, but who still has stages of development to go through,” Rosario Dawson explained in an interview with Entertainment Weekly months ago. To find out how this new Ahsoka the White behaves, you’ll have to wait sixth episode of the series, premiering on Disney+ on Wednesday, September 20th.
