Who is the father of Hera’s kid on Star Wars: Ahsoka? It’s a Star Wars Legends reference on top of a Rebels Easter egg, featuring Kanan Jarrus.
Star Wars: Ahsoka is a show built for cartoon fans. If you kept up with all seven seasons of Clone Wars and made it to the end of Rebels, then you’re likely tracking just about everything that’s going on so far in the latest live-action Star Wars series. If you’re a Star Wars movie fan who dipped into The Mandalorian because it was familiar, though, things might be a little more confusing.
An earlier episode gave us a perfect example of a potentially “huh?” scene when Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) spent a quiet few minutes talking to a young boy named Jacen (Evan Whitten). For longtime fans, it was a touching moment, and the first time we’ve seen Jacen a little bit grown up. For everyone else, it probably raised more questions than it answered. So what’s up with Jacen? Lots — and if you know what you’re looking for, he also has a not-so-secret connection to Star Wars Legends lore.
