Quoted: I would say older than that. ROTS was 6 years before ANH and ROTJ was 8 years after ANH and this is 30 years after ROTJ. So if Asoka was in her 20's when she fought Vader she would easily be in her 50's or 60's by this point. You just need to ask how well her species ages. 60 might not be that old for her kind.

ROTS is 19 BBY
The Original Trilogy is about 7 years long Mandalorian is 5 years after ROTJ So ROTS to Mando is 31 years. I'd figure Aksoka was in her very early 20s, so she's 50ish now. She also looked quite a bit older in Rebels than Clone Wars. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I have done no research whatsoever. But I always thought that the lack of a hyperdrive is one of the things that distinguished galaxy-crossing fighters like the X-wing from "short-range fighters" (as Obi-Wan said) like the TIE. Somewhere in a storage box down in the basement I have a 30 plus year old ships of Star Wars book. The description of the X-Wing even way back then noted that it was designed from the outset to have a hyperdrive. Just like the Y-wing. Correct. The Rebellion's typical strategy was to hyper jump in, strike quickly, and hyper jump back out. They did not have the numbers to stick around for a fair fight nor the capital ships to move fighters. Y-Wings were a relic at the Battle of Yavin as older Clone-Wars era ships that were basically stolen surplus (See Rebels cartoon). But fit the multi-functional strike role well with a Hyperdrive and patched together shield upgrades. X-Wings were newer Space Superiority Fighters at The Battle of Yavin (and in Rogue One) Their capabilities were Perfect match for the Rebellions growing needs in the war. I always saw them as the F-14 Tomcat vs the Empire's standard TIE fighter (MiG 21). Of course the Empire had better TIE models but not on quantity. *Laughs in B-Wing* |

I think to some extent, it’s based on body shape. Ashley, last time I saw her, was attractive and curvy.
Ahsoka has always been depicted as kind of lean. |

Quoted: I guess I imagine in a nomadic warrior society that adopts orphans they would start training in unarmored hand to hand combat at a young age and progress from there, sort of like the Spartans (or a less disciplined/soldierly version of Soldier with Kurt Russel) leaving ample opportunity for some scarring/broken noses/whatever. Unless they have little kid versions of the armor, which would be very Disney. View Quote |

I’m thinking Filoni is also a fan of “Firefly”. The opening and closing scenes of this episode reminded me of the opening and closing scenes of “Serenity”.

Ahsoka was born in 36 BBY. The Mandalorian takes place in 9 ABY. So she’s 45 years old. And, in Legends, Togruta (Ahsoka’s species) had a longer lifespan than humans. Given her high level of Force sensitivity, she could probably live even longer, easily into the Sequel Trilogy era.

Quoted: If I had to guess, I'd say the surviving members of DW were either an offshoot clan of the most radical remnants of DW... or maybe more likely they are referring to Din as a literally a "Child(Foundling) of (Death) Watch".

Click To View Spoiler Bo Kataan was once a member/Leader of Death Watch View Quote I think the "child of the watch" comment from Bo Katan lends credence to the idea that Rook Kast may be the armorer. We know that she was in House Vizla, served Maul, and was allied with Gar Saxon as leader of the imperial super-commando Mandolorian force. It's also interesting that we see her featured prominently in Clone Wars season 7, but she's completely absent in Revels, where Saxon meets his end. Could she have splintered off and formed a new Death Watch after order 66? I believe she was last seen as a prisoner of Katan's forces on Mandalore after Maul abandoned them. |

View Quote In the last season of clone wars there are side by sides of Bo-Katan and Ahsoka, Ahsoka is shorter than Bo-Katan. In the last episode of Rebels in the last scene she is taller than Sabine. But I don't believe Sabine is all that tall when compare to Hera or Kanan. Katie is taller than Ashley. I am holding out hope Rosario Dawson is a misdirection and Ashley is Ahsoka. |
