Star Wars is definitely going in a new direction.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Before Star Wars' first opening crawl rolled across the screen, George Lucas introduced audiences to his one core rule of this franchise: that it exists in one galaxy far, far away - but now that has changed, as Disney+'s Ahsoka is taking viewers on a journey into a second galaxy, one that is also far, far away.
Every entertainment franchise evolves, with each release introducing something new or changing something that had been done in the past; Star Wars is no different. Though it was never properly explored on-screen, the Unknown Regions were Disney's first real attempt at pushing past the boundaries of the known Star Wars galaxy. Exegol was another attempt in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Star Wars Is No Longer In A Galaxy Far, Far Away In Ahsoka episode 2, "Toil and Trouble," Morgan Elsbeth met the series' villains Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati on the planet Seatos, where they used an ancient structure to unlock the star map Ahsoka took from a Nightsisters temple. The map revealed a location - and a path to get there - in another galaxy. Baylan called it the "Pathway to Peridea," a fairy tale that Jedi younglings would tell each other.
Lucas' phrasing of Star Wars taking place "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" was simple enough to entice viewers and separate the franchise's otherworldly power from reality. But that phrase has grown to mean something literal, that it does take place in a galaxy far from the Milky Way. Lucasfilm toyed with exploring areas outside the known galaxy a few times before, most famously in the comic in which Han Solo and Chewbacca came to Earth in the Millennium Falcon.
Beyond story developments, this is a crucial moment for Star Wars. People have grown tired of the same story repeating over and over again, with the same characters, same villains, and same plot points - even the same planets; Tatooine can only appear so many times before it's no longer the place that's farthest from the center of the universe - so with the introduction of a new galaxy, Lucasfilm can take the franchise somewhere new.
