Summary
- Ahsoka could have joined forces with Maul if he revealed more about Sidious, leading to a different timeline for both of them.
- A temporary alliance with Maul would have pushed Ahsoka closer to the dark side, but they would eventually clash due to their differing goals.
- Without Ahsoka's intervention, Thrawn's return would have been swift, resulting in his Empire taking over the galaxy before the rise of the First Order.
Ahsoka had a chance to team up with Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and while she rejected his offer, the Star Wars saga would have turned out differently had she agreed. In The Clone Wars season 7, episode 10 "Phantom Apprentice," Maul asked Ahsoka to work with him to destroy Darth Sidious, which she almost accepted. However, when Maul revealed that he planned to kill Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka engaged him in a lightsaber duel, and the two went their separate ways for years.
Despite Ahsoka's misgivings, there was a way for Maul to convince her to join him against Sidious. Had she teamed up with him, their fates immediately after the Clone Wars would have changed, creating a ripple effect that would alter the Star Wars timeline. From the rise of Crimson Dawn to the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn, a partnership between Ahsoka and Maul would have resulted in a significantly different story for them both.

Maul Could Have Convinced Ahsoka To Join Him By Revealing More Secrets Ahsoka didn't join Maul because he didn't provide more valuable information about Sidious. She thought it was absurd that Sidious could have been grooming Anakin as his next apprentice, but if Maul had revealed that Palpatine was the Sith Lord, then the idea would have had merit. Ahsoka would have opposed Maul's plan to kill Anakin, but now she would have a reason to believe that his concerns were warranted. It would also keep Ahsoka from going to the Jedi Council or the Republic Senate, as both were compromised from the start of the Clone Wars. Ahsoka would join Maul to take advantage of his knowledge and resources.
