Summary
- Ahsoka's starmap reveals a new planet, Odyn, in the Star Wars galaxy.
- Showrunner Dave Filoni loves Norse mythology, so this is surely a significant new world.
- Odyn's presence on the starmap, alongside other Force-rich planets, hints at a dark side Force vergence and the possibility of intergalactic empire and portal technology.
Ahsoka's starmap revealed a new planet in the Star Wars galaxy, one that could be key to Ahsoka season 2 – and beyond. The pathway to Peridea has transformed Star Wars forever, introducing viewers to an entirely new galaxy. Even more excitingly, it seems this galaxy has been involved with the traditional one for a long time; there are Jedi legends of intergalactic travel using Star Wars' space whales, the purrgil, and it now seems these have their basis in truth.
Morgan Elsbeth retrieved a starmap to help her chart the pathway to Peridea, as part of her quest to find Grand Admiral Thrawn. Although Baylan Skoll destroyed the starmap, hoping to ensure nobody could follow, it is immortalized for viewers in Ahsoka's credits. Ahsoka's end credits are written in another language, one it's possible to translate; ur-Kittât, a dark side language that was adopted by the Sith. The starmap reveals ancient intergalactic travelers visited many star-systems in the Star Wars galaxy, including familiar worlds like Mandalore, Coruscant, and Corellia. But one new addition to the list of planets seems particularly significant.

Nothing is known about Odyn – it's literally just a name on a starmap, never mentioned before in Star Wars canon or Legends – but the name alone is significant. Ahsoka showrunner Dave Filoni loves Norse mythology (that's the origin of character names Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati), and this is clearly named after the Norse god Odin. As anyone familiar with the MCU will know, Odin the All-Father of the Norse gods, their greatest and most powerful ruler. There's simply no way Filoni chose to give a new planet his name without it carrying some greater significance.
