Is Ahsoka Dead in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi & The Rise of Skywalker?

Many fans are asking “Is Ahsoka dead in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker?” For those wondering about the fate of Ahsoka and how Rey was able to hear her voice during the final fight, here’s what you need to know.

Is Ahsoka dead during the events of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker?

Ahsoka could still be alive during the events of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.

Though her absence during the events of the movies is surprising, given the grave threat and attempted extinction of the Jedi, Ahsoka has been known to keep to herself. It’s possible that she was in hiding during the events of the sequels, unable or unwilling to fight.

It’s possible that Ahsoka will be in future Star Wars movies and TV shows, potentially guiding future Jedi. With her fate unconfirmed, there are many paths that her character could follow.

Why does Rey hear Ahsoka at the end of The Rise of Skywalker?

Ahsoka is considered dead at the end of The Rise of Skywalker, as Rey can hear her voice alongside the other dead Jedi. However, it’s possible that Ahsoka was able to communicate with Rey while still alive.

As identified by @geekritique_dak on Twitter, the Rise of Skywalker novelization states that not all of the voices of past Jedi were from those who had died, as “some [were] still anchored to the living in a strange way.”

Therefore, it’s possible that Ahsoka is still alive during those final moments when Rey is gathering her strength to take down Palpatine once and for all.
