Summary
- Ahsoka and The Mandalorian season 4 will likely showcase the growing threat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of the biggest threats the galaxy has ever faced.
- The New Republic's forces and its flaws will play a big role in the upcoming struggle against Thrawn and the Imperial Remnant.
- Reviving the canceled show Rangers of the New Republic would provide an opportunity to explore the crumbling legacy of the New Republic and focus more on characters like Hera Syndulla and Ezra Bridger.
After the success of Ahsoka, Star Wars needs to resurrect one canceled Disney+ TV show. Ahsoka, like The Mandalorian, explores what the galaxy was like after the fall of the Empire. As the New Republic tries to establish a peaceful foothold in the galaxy, sinister forces are still lurking in the shadows as the Imperial Remnant attempts to regain control. While The Mandalorian depicted Moff Gideon’s dastardly operations, Ahsoka brought back one of the biggest threats the galaxy has ever faced: Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose tactical prowess is bound to become a problem in a possible second season of Ahsoka, The Mandalorian season 4, and beyond.
The Star Wars live-action TV shows are all building towards Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian movie. Ahsoka Tano and Din Djarin are both likely to play a big part in the fight against Thrawn and the Imperial Remnant. The New Republic’s forces will need to play a large role in the upcoming struggle as well. Ahsoka and The Mandalorian season 3 introduced audiences to more of the New Republic’s highest-ranking officials and its procedures, hinting at the cracks in its system. But new seasons of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka will surely focus more on their titular characters rather than Thrawn’s growing threat. One canceled Star Wars show, however, would be the perfect vehicle with which to explore the New Republic’s already crumbling legacy.

Lucasfilm once revealed that it would be producing a Disney+ show called Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic. At the time it was announced, Gina Carano, who played the character Cara Dune in the first two seasons of The Mandalorian, was expected to lead the show in her capacity as a Marshal for the New Republic. When Carano was cut from all future Star Wars projects, the concept for Rangers of the New Republic fell apart as well, its storylines being absorbed into both The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. The Mandalorian season 3, episode 3, for instance, depicts what it was like for former Imperial officers to be rehabilitated by the New Republic, and Ahsoka includes plenty of scenes related to the New Republic government and its distrust of Ahsoka and her friends.
