By around ten years before the events of the original trilogy began, Maul became the head of the criminal organization Crimson Dawn.

Maul managed to survive The Clone Wars thanks to Ahsoka freeing him to cause a little chaos and create a distraction, but it backfired on her when he wrecked the hyperdrive (and therefore destroyed the ship) and then took the only shuttle on board to safety. When last seen, Ahsoka had gone full Gandalf the White, and her upcoming live-action debut on The Mandalorian will hopefully reveal whether or not she and Sabine were successful.

To preserve the timeline, Ahsoka returned to Malachor and didn’t turn up again until the Rebels series finale, when she arrived on the planet Lothal to recruit Sabine for a mission to find Ezra Bridger. Her fate was uncertain following the Season 2 finale until almost the very end of Season 4, when Rebels revealed that Ezra had used his adventure into the World Between Worlds to pull Ahsoka out of the duel with Vader before Vader could deliver a killing blow. Since Vader couldn’t return to the light in Star Wars Rebels when he had years to go before Return of the Jedi, he fully intended to kill her. She wasn’t certain until the Season 2 finale, set on Malachor, after she managed to strike a hole in Vader’s mask. While assisting the Rebellion and the Ghost crew (including unconventional Jedi knight Kanan Jarrus and padawan Ezra Bridger), Ahsoka came to suspect that Anakin Skywalker had become Darth Vader. She made her first on-screen appearance since Clone Wars in the Season 1 finale of Star Wars Rebels, and would appear in some key episodes of Season 2. (Cassian Andor of Rogue One would later become known as “Fulcrum” as well.) She also joined forces with Bail Organa and became part of the fledgling Rebellion, adopting the title of “Fulcrum” to conceal her identity. In the 15 or so years following the end of The Clone Wars, Ahsoka constructed two white lightsabers for herself, symbolizing her neutrality in the Force.
