Ezra Bridger learned that his parents were killed by the Empire in Star Wars Rebels season 2, and Maul used this to manipulate him in the finale. After losing Ahsoka to Darth Vader and Kanan Jarrus losing his sight to Maul, Ezra was left with the Sith Holocron, which he studied for six months. The season 3 premiere explored his dark side tendencies, but the arc was abandoned as the season went on, even though much more could have been done with it. The episodes where Maul forces Ezra to help with his quest could have pushed him further down the dark path, but the writers avoided pursuing this storyline.
9 Asajj Ventress Appearing In Star Wars Resistance Season 2![]()
Star Wars Resistance head writer and executive producer Brandon Auman revealed that Mika Grey was originally going to be an older Asajj Ventress. He confirmed this was Dave Filoni's idea, and the team considered having a lightsaber duel between Ventress and Kylo Ren. It's unclear how this idea would have worked, as Ventress died in the 2015 novel Star Wars: Dark Disciple by Christie Golden. However, Ventress faked her death in the Star Wars Legends continuity by going into a Sith trance, so maybe a similar explanation would have been used. Either way, the abandoned Asajj Ventress plot would have improved Star Wars Resistance.
8 Seeing How Plo Koon Found Ahsoka In Tales Of The Jedi![]()
Plo Koon finding Ahsoka Tano and bringing her to the Jedi Temple would have been a much better premiere for Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. This was a canceled arc of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, so it would have been great if Tales of the Jedi had finally made it happen. Viewers were instead treated to a baby Ahsoka episode with a ridiculous premise, and it made the timeline confusing by showing that Ahsoka did not go to the temple for another two years. Bringing in Plo Koon would have been more satisfying and made more sense in a show called Tales of the Jedi.
7 Din Djarin Becoming The Ruler Of Mandalore In The Mandalorian Season 3![]()
Din Djarin was the main character of The Mandalorian's first two seasons, but much of the focus was shifted to Bo-Katan Kryze in season 3. Rather than having Din Djarin continue his arc to mastering the Darksaber, Bo-Katan takes the blade instead. The creative team made the same mistake as in Star Wars Rebels season 4: Sabine Wren was only present to pass the Darksaber to Bo-Katan, and Din Djarin did the same. It would be much more engaging if Din Djarin had a complete arc throughout the series, growing from a lone bounty hunter to the ruler of Mandalore.
6 Cad Bane’s Role In The Book Of Boba Fett![]()
As fantastic as Cad Bane's live-action portrayal was in The Book of Boba Fett, the team waited too long to bring him into the story. Bane showed up in the second to last episode, leaving no time to do anything significant with the character. His encounter with Boba Fett alluded to their history from a canceled arc of The Clone Wars, and it would have been cool if the show had time to explore this in depth. Unfortunately, Bane only had one full-length episode before he was unceremoniously killed off.
5 The Canceled Ahsoka/Darth Sidious Arc In The Clone Wars![]()
One of the most intriguing canceled arcs from The Clone Wars would have featured Ahsoka returning to face Darth Sidious on Coruscant. The arc would have revealed that the Jedi Temple was built on the ruins of other Force temples, including a Sith shrine that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker had to rescue Master Yoda from. Sidious would also have tried to break into the Holocron vault, with Ahsoka stopping him and nearly coming face to face with the Sith Lord. Sadly, this story can never be told in canon thanks to The Clone Wars season 7, even as a book or comic series.
