In Ahsoka Episode 4, “Fallen Jedi,” Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) is pushed from the Nightsister henge by Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) into the turbulent Seatos sea below. She awakes in a familiar yet impossible place: the World Between Worlds. Even stranger is the appearance of her former Master, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). First off, The World Between Worlds is a puzzling location for her to be; it’s not the “heaven” of Star Wars, nor has it ever been accessible by near-death experience. So why has Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni placed her there? The inspiration for this could be found in America’s most iconic Christmas movie, the 1946 classic It’s a Wonderful Life.
