Summary

• Ahsoka undergoes a powerful transformation inspired by Gandalf, becoming Ahsoka the White in her Star Wars story.
• Ahsoka's struggle revolves around her identity and the fate of Anakin Skywalker, her mentor turned evil.
• The transformation allows Ahsoka to come to terms with who she is and become a helpful force for good, much like Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings.

Ahsoka season 1 featured the titular Jedi's transition into Ahsoka the White, with showrunner Dave Filoni opening up about his obvious inspirations for this plot point. By the end of Ahsoka episode 5, Ahsoka's white Star Wars costume was presented in all its glory after being teased in Star Wars Rebels. This solidified the major character change that Ahsoka underwent in her solo show, something that will undoubtedly continue into the story of Ahsoka season 2 and even Dave Filoni's Mandalorian-era movie.
