Star Wars ‘Ahsoka’ Episode 4 Preview - Lightsaber Duels and More Claim Leaks and Rumors

The third episode was short, but in no way it was dull. From a wild chase through the clouds and star whales to fighting battleships with a lightsaber, I found it to constantly entertaining. Now the fourth episode which will be the continuation of the events of the third, is expected to see more action.

In the final moments of Episode 3, Ahsoka and Sabine landed in the forests of Seatos, escaping the chase from Shin Hati and others. As Huyang reboots and shows them the data he collected from the Eye of Sion, they discover that the Eye of Sion is capable of following the Purrgil (Star Whales) to other galaxies, which seems to be Morgan’s plan to retrieve Thrawn from wherever he is. 

Even though Ahsoka and Sabine are successfully able to hide in the woods, the chase is far from over and is about to get more interesting. The episode ends with Baylan landing on the edge of the same forest as he sends his assassins to hunt down Ahsoka and Sabine.

The ending of the third episode has given us enough hints on what to expect from the next chapter. It is unlikely that Ahsoka and Sabine will try to escape on their ship as the matter is still hot and they could be shot down easily, so they will try to stay on the planet and wait for things to cool down before they plan their escape. However, this will directly lead them to confront Baylan's assassins who are scouting the whole forest.

The fourth episode leaks and rumors claim that Ahsoka will face Baylan and there will be a lightsaber duel between them. It will be full of action as it is also rumored that Ahsoka Tano will have a near-death experience, so the fight is not going to be easy for either of them. This duel is rumored to be one of the best fights that you will see in the entire series. However, the rumor claiming the near-death experience of Ahsoka makes me wonder, how? Is Baylan more powerful than an experienced Jedi or is it something else? Whatever may be the case, this rumor is a bit more unbelievable. Baylan Skoll is played by the late Ray Stevenson.

The training of Sabine will continue in the forests, that is how the episode is rumored to kick off. However, the other events of episode 3 like Hera asking the senate to approve a mission to look for Thrawn, which got rejected, are unlikely to have any bearing on episode 4. However, we will talk about Senate politics in a later article as this will be the subject of an upcoming episode.

The fourth episode is directed by Peter Ramsey and is rumored to be a bit longer than the third episode. As per the leaks, Ahsoka Episode 4 will be 38 minutes without the credits and if we include credits and other stuff, it would be around 44 minutes long. Ahsoka Episode 4 will be released on Tuesday, September 5 at 9 PM EST on Disney+, worldwide. In India, it premieres at 6:30 AM IST on September 6.
