Is what we know of the dark side true?
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Ahsoka episode 6 provided a shocking answer to one of Star Wars’ oldest dark side-related questions. The nature of the Force has always been something of a mystery. Some view the dark side as a perversion of the Force, a cancer within it that - if left unchecked - would destroy all life in the galaxy. Others argue both light and darkness are required, existing in balance and harmony.
This question isn't just a philosophical one. Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force, but the Star Wars movies are silent about what that means. Even George Lucas himself has never really explained it in full, leaving viewers locked in debate. Surprisingly, though, Ahsoka episode 6 - "Far, Far Away" - may have provided a shocking answer.
Ahsoka Suggests The Dark Side Came First Ahsoka has rewritten Star Wars history, revealing the Nightsisters of Dathomir are older than Jedi and Sith alike. After arriving on the planet Peridea - a distant world in another galaxy - Sabine Wren and her captors meet the Great Mothers, three surviving Nightsisters who have been exiled there. Ahsoka episode 6 reveals the Nightsisters once rode the purrgil, Star Wars' hyperspace whales, across the galaxies.

Many interpretations of the Force see the dark side as a corruptive entity; light side users are naturally viewed as selfless, protectors of all life that the Force is intricately entwined with.
