In the second half of the show’s two-episode premiere, it is revealed that Ahsoka now possesses the Force power of Psychometry, a rare ability that allows Force-sensitive individuals to sense echoes of past events associated with people, places, or objects through proximity or physical contact. This revelation has left some fans upset, as Ahsoka had never displayed such abilities in her previous appearances, despite her initial introduction as a gifted 14-year-old padawan and her subsequent role as a General during the Clone Wars.
Psychometry is considered one of the most potent Force abilities in the Star Wars universe, offering characters a remarkable tool for tracking, uncovering truths, and obtaining even the most obscure information. Ahsoka demonstrates this ability in the series by using it to uncover the events leading to Sabine Wren’s critical condition after entering the room where the incident occurred. Notably, Psychometry cannot be learned through training, as all known users in Star Wars lore have been born with the power, typically manifesting it before their teenage years.
