Summary
- Marrok in Ahsoka mirrors Boba Fett in the original Star Wars trilogy, both mysterious helmeted figures who worked for the Empire and captured viewers' attention.
- Marrok's fate in Ahsoka follows the pattern of underutilized characters with appealing designs, similar to characters like Captain Phasma and Darth Maul.
- Marrok's return after Ahsoka is unlikely and doesn't make sense in the timeline, as his character was killed off with no hint of survival, unlike Boba Fett in the sarlacc pit.
Marrok the Inquisitor's story in Ahsoka season 1 contains several details that mirror Boba Fett's character in the original Star Wars trilogy. From the moment the Ahsoka trailer dropped online, fans were captivated by the new live-action Inquisitor and began speculating on his identity. Theories included Ezra Bridger, former Jedi Padawan Barris Offee, and even Darth Vader's secret apprentice from the Legends continuity. As fun as these theories were, none came true in Ahsoka, but this created a connection between Marrok and Boba Fett.
While Boba Fett himself may have changed drastically after his return in The Book of Boba Fett, Marrok's character has many parallels to the bounty hunter's original incarnation. This offers viewers a new perspective on Marrok but may remind fans of an annoying trend that has always plagued the Star Wars franchise. Despite Marrok's similarities to Boba Fett, it is unlikely that he will return to Star Wars, especially in Ahsoka season 2.

The handling of Marrok's character in Ahsoka is similar to Boba Fett's portrayal in the original Star Wars trilogy. Both were mercenaries who worked for the Empire, had few speaking lines, and immediately grabbed viewers' attention. Most importantly, they were both mysterious helmeted figures that everybody thought were more important than they were. Boba Fett fell into the sarlacc pit at the beginning of Return of the Jedi, while Marrok was killed halfway through Ahsoka before anything significant was revealed about the character.
