@ArchAngeL-PCX wrote:@Dvveebo Mandalorian happens way too early for there to be any ties to the sequel trilogy era or First Order. Mandalorian happens only 5 years after ROTJ. First Order rises to power much later as depicted in the novel Bloodlines. I'm not even sure Ben Solo has been born by the Mandlorian timeline. Interesting theories though.
SpoilerEzra might be the one to answer. Maybe he gives a clue to his and Thrawn's location. My guess is the Chiss Ascendancy. Then Mandalorian relays that to Ahsoka. I'm not sure at this point Ahsoka knows where Thrawn or Ezra are, so this happens before she and Sabine leave to find him.
Ah, same. So I went poking around to try and get a better understanding about the timeline.

"5 ABY - Han Solo helps Chewbacca to liberate Kashyyyk from Imperial rule. The New Republic secures a final victory over the remains of the Empire at the Battle of Jakku. Mon Mothma signs the Galactic Concordance and the Empire is dissolved. A faction of top Imperials, led by Grand Admiral Rae Sloane and General Hux’s dad Brendol, travel through the Unknown Regions to start the First Order. Ben Solo is born. (Star Wars: Aftermath novel trilogy)"
"9 ABY - A lone gunfighter – The Mandalorian – makes his way through the outer reaches of the galaxy where stumbles upon a young-ish green creature, known outside of the galaxy far, far away as "Baby Yoda". The warrior goes on the run, hoping to keep the creature away from harm, and ends up adopting the young creature as his own. (The Mandalorian)"
"21 ABY - The First Order starts using crime syndicates to fund its increasing military activities. (Star Wars: Bloodline novel)"

***The Mandalorian show
"According to series creator and writer Jon Favreau, the show takes place five years after Return of the Jedi. That’s enough time for the powerful grip of the Empire to have faded, but a quarter-century before The Force Awakens, so the First Order isn’t all that powerful yet. The Star Wars universe labels its years with BBY and ABY — short for “Before the Battle of Yavin” and “After the Battle of Yavin,” the fancy way to refer to the action of A New Hope. So, Return of the Jedi takes place in 4 ABY, which means that The Mandalorian takes place in the Year of Our Lucas 9 ABY and The Force Awakens begins in 34 ABY."

***Kylo/Ben Solo
"He was born at the end of the Galactic Civil War in 5 ABY, when the Galactic Empire surrendered to the New Republic."

Ezra can’t actually time travel. He had access to a temple that had the capabilities to time travel, but since it got destroyed, he has the same time traveling abilities as any other character.

What I took from the original Clone Wars animation was that Anakin thought he needed his hand to use the Force. (Though it's an older not-so-cannon-material.) This version of Anakin learned that the Force within him and his success didn't rely on his entire physical form. His mechanical hand wasn't a physical restriction to his *abilities*.
Ezra is shown by creatures that you can *travel* without a gate. (Both Purgills and Wolves do this.) The first time the wolves show this to Ezra they are underground, two Imperial bombers above them drop explosives on the surrounding mountains. The wolves indicate to the group of human/oids form a chain and to follow them. Then a wolfs paw can be seen being placed upon an invisible and water-like surface surrounded by darkness and stars.(Much like the area where Ezra finds all those view portals into time) Ezras eyes reflect the lights and patterns suggesting hyperspace travel. But this type of travel was preformed underground, with no perceivable exits, and no use of space flight. The travel was used locally to transport them to another area of the planets surface. ((You could claim that this is specific to Lothal, but it leaves out the fact that Purgills - a space wandering whale-like creature also make use of the same function - off world.))
So while Ezra did use a door to first become introduced to the concept himself, he may not strictly require an outside tool to use in the future - since other animals learned how to travel in a unique way, he could apply what they're teaching him, in a way that involves time, if he comes to learn that his power to open those pathways comes from within.
[...] "he has the same time traveling abilities as any other character. " And if all those other characters aren't aware of their ability to use time travel - how will they ever know to try it? Ezra has exposure to a concept; so he can hone it.I saw a article that said they were removing jeans guy. didn't read it just saw the headline. dont know if its true or not ☹️
I dont know if this has been mentioned yet but I wonder if thrawn is going to be the "volunteer" they were talking about, trying to gain the force to get revenge on ezra. It would make sense considering how thrawn:alliances continuously mentions his curiosity of the force and how he sees it as a great advantage in combat.- @SwellingFoil266 That's an interesting theory about Thrawn. Maybe that's why Ahsoka is after him. I watched the Rebels finale again, and it doesn't put a time frame on them hunting for Ezra. We just know it happens after ROTJ. So maybe that has already happened, and Thrawn is still an enemy out there looking for an advantage on Ezra or Jedi in general.
There always was a rumor that a Rebels sequel show was in the works to show what happens to Ezra. Maybe we still get that in animated form. Or maybe we get the rumored Ahsoka show with flashbacks to fill in the gaps.
