Ahsoka's Post-Credits Scene Decision Was the Mic Drop the Finale Deserved
Great shows don't need to tease viewers.
That is exactly the case with the conclusion of Ahsoka. The second half of the series saw events pick up the pace, immediately drawing fans into a whirlwind of developments that brought together the Clone Wars and Rebels animated series and the looming threats of universal proportions.
Regardless of whether there will be a Season 2, Ahsoka was not just a subplot to the grand events of the upcoming feature film but proved to be a compelling stand-alone story that can be appreciated outside the context of the current Star Wars canon. Much of the credit for this should go to Filoni and his team's decision not to include a post-credits scene, as is often the case with Disney franchises.
The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord
The final episode was packed with events and action sequences, from Morgan Elsbeth wielding Talzin's sword (in Clone Wars, the matriarch of the Night Sisters, Mother Talzin, fought Mace Windu with it) and zombie Dark Troopers to Baylan discovering monuments on the planet dedicated to The Ones, the mysterious Force-wielding entities to which Anakin and Ahsoka were connected. Meanwhile, Thrawn (with Ezra on board) clashes with Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang and ends up in the main Star Wars galaxy.
But despite the grand events and lore-heavy moments, it remained primarily Ahsoka's story, her journey on the Force path and her final training, which she failed to complete when she left the Jedi Order and met Anakin for the last time just before he succumbed to the Dark side.
The Final Scene's Significance
Instead of having a post-credits scene, as is common in MCU films and as was done in The Mandalorian and Andor, the series concluded with a very important scene. In the final minutes, we saw none other than the Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker smiling as he watched Ahsoka.
Why is this moment so important? Anakin has always observed his Padawan, indirectly guiding her on an incredibly challenging path — the same path Ahsoka is now leading Sabin down. All of this suggests that Ahsoka was able to stop blaming herself for Anakin's fate and became willing to be a Master for someone else. The eternal transmission of wisdom from master to apprentice and beyond is the central aspect of the Force and all of Star Wars.
Therefore, Ahsoka's central story was very definitive, and a post-credits scene would have completely shifted the focus away from the story of the two main characters, Ahsoka and Anakin.
