Star Wars: Anakin Skywalker's Chosen One Destiny May Be Revealed in Ahsoka Season 2 Dave Filoni confirmed the Mortis Gods are a thing in Ahsoka season 2, raising questions about Anakin Skywalker's fate and a potential new trio of gods. Anakin Skywalker's biggest unanswered question may finally be resolved in Ahsoka season 2. Lucasfilm Co-President Dave Filoni has confirmed that the Mortis Gods are coming to the live-action series, and that confirmation points toward the revelation of Anakin's true destiny. Hayden Christensen is already confirmed to return in Ahsoka season 2. Anakin has been a central figure in Star Wars since the beginning, and he keeps appearing in recent shows like Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord. Yet fundamental parts of his story remain unknown. Shmi simply said there was no father, but there is surely more to that. His actual fate is another open question.Return of the Jedi showed Anakin becoming a Force Ghost, but unlike his Force Ghost counterparts, he never appeared in the sequel trilogy. His guidance would have been especially welcome when Kylo Ren needed to hear that he should not finish what Anakin started. The only post-Original Trilogy appearance of Anakin as a Force Ghost came in Ahsoka season 1, raising questions about where he goes and what he does.Christensen's return will include more Clone Wars era flashbacks and almost certainly more scenes of Anakin as a Force Ghost watching over Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano on Peridea. That is not what suggests Anakin's true fate might be revealed soon. The real hint is Filoni's shocking confirmation about the Mortis Gods.It is rare for Star Wars to confirm something so massive months before a release, and the implications are huge. The Mortis Gods were introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars as a trio. The Son represented the dark side of the Force, the Daughter represented the light, and the Father embodied balance itself. Bringing them into a live-action show with this star-studded cast is far more mainstream than the animated series that ran from the late 2000s into 2020.All three gods were dead by the end of their arc in The Clone Wars. When Baylan Skoll began searching for them at the end of Ahsoka season 1, many assumed he would find only information. That may still be the case, since the Mortis Gods might appear only in flashback. Filoni's comments nonetheless hint that their significance will be far greater than a flashback showing what already happened. Because the original gods are dead, one shocking theory has emerged, and it makes a great deal of sense.With Ahsoka season 2 arriving and the original gods dead, new characters could fulfill these roles. There have long been conversations about Ahsoka becoming the new Daughter, or at least having a deeper connection to her, since the Daughter gave her life to save Ahsoka in The Clone Wars. Morai, the Daughter's convor, has followed Ahsoka ever since.The Father offered Anakin his role during The Clone Wars, although Anakin ultimately refused. Now that Anakin is a Force Ghost, he could absolutely take the Father's place. This would also explain why Anakin did not intervene at any point in the sequel trilogy. It could explain Ahsoka's absence in those movies as well. That accounts for the Father and the Daughter, and Ahsoka has a perfect option for the final god.Baylan is neither a Jedi nor a Sith, but he clearly has a connection to the dark side. He is therefore a perfect addition to this potential new trio of Mortis Gods: Anakin as the Father, Ahsoka as the Daughter, and Baylan as the Son. That is a tall order for Star Wars, but the theory fits the lore.Beyond the mystery of who Anakin's father really was, or whether he was created by the Force itself, and beyond his absence from the sequel trilogy, another major question remains. What exactly did the Chosen One prophecy mean, and did Anakin fulfill his destiny as the Chosen One? The prequels reveal that part of the prophecy said this being would bring balance to the Force.The Jedi interpreted that to mean the destruction of the Sith. That does not sound like balance, and it is not consistent with what the rest of Star Wars shows. Balance suggests holding both sides, light and dark, together while keeping them in check. That is exactly what the Father did as one of the Mortis Gods.Some view Return of the Jedi as Anakin bringing balance by destroying Palpatine, yet that makes little sense. Palpatine returns, which is a problem on its own. Simply destroying the Sith also does not meet the definition of balance. What would meet it is Anakin taking the place of the Father of the Mortis Gods, just as the Father originally wanted him to, and directly embodying balance in the Force.That could finally explain Anakin Skywalker's Chosen One prophecy. It could also reveal his true fate and answer why he was absent when his grandson needed him most. As Ahsoka season 2 approaches, fans eagerly await how the Mortis Gods and Anakin's destiny will unfold. The questions about the Chosen One's ultimate role in the galaxy may finally get their answer.
