The Night Sister

Product Information

It's like you said, Malicos. Dathomir will be your grave." ―Merrin, to Taron Malicos as she buries him alive [1] Merrin: " Did you live?" Cal Kestis: " Did you hear something, Beedee?" [singsong] " Sounded almost like… someone who was worried about us?" Merrin: " Must have been your imagination. Yes, next time we're hard up for credits we'll just drop you in a cantina. You'll survive." Greez Dritus: " Hey. If anybody's gonna be makin' tips for their looks around here, it's me. You bipeds don't appreciate what a catch I am to those with real taste out there." Cere Junda: " If we're done, crew—" ―Merrin, Cal Kestis, and Greez Dritus joke until Cere Junda gets "cere-ious" [4]

Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of " Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" and " Chapter 16: The Rescue" to 9 ABY. The events of Chapters 1–16 must therefore also take place in 9 ABY, and the events of Chapters 17–24 must take place around that year as well. Star Wars: Timelines (bonus content) places the events of " Part One: Master and Apprentice" in around 9 ABY. As Ahsoka spans a relatively short time, the events of the series must take place around the same year. After the crew kept their distance from each other for a day and a night, Dritus emerged. He scolded Merrin when she tried to help with his balance and she concealed her hurt. Dritus wanted to confront Frethylrin and accused her of leaving them all to die, resulting in losing his arm. Kestis interrupted their shouting, but he also demanded an explanation of her lies and omissions; otherwise, she must leave the ship with Irei. Merrin agreed with him. [4] The Nightsisters were all but extinct as a result of the Battle of Dathomir, leaving Merrin alone for years. Okay. It would be good for me, too, to figure out what is left between me and Irei. So we should… be friends?"Every time someone puts their life on the line for me, they get hurt—or they die. I'm not letting that happen to you. I can't. I won 't."

As she walked away, Kestis began talking about his past and the fear he used to hold that the Empire would find out who and what he was. However, his trauma had been soothed after a friend told him to go out and find his place in the galaxy and he began traveling with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Considering Kestis' words, Merrin decided to join his crew, hoping she could find her own place in the greater galaxy. Although Jedi and Nightsisters were not traditionally comrades, Merrin believed that survivors, like them, adapted. Kestis and his droid companion BD-1 agreed to the idea, although the Padawan doubted that the rest of his crew would be ready to accept Merrin. [1]The history of the Nightsisters is still something of a mystery. Some in-universe legends claim the first Nightsister was trained by a banished Jedi Master named Allya roughly 600 years before the Skywalker saga, but this is contradicted by Ahsoka episode 2; there, Lady Morgan claims the Nightsisters established the colony of Arcana thousands of years ago, suggesting they are much older than the legends claim. The very fact Lady Morgan's Nightsister powers could interact with a starmap from the mysterious Peridea suggests the Nightsisters may not have their origin in the Star Wars galaxy itself. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The High Republic: Light of the Jedi to 232 BBY. The High Republic: A Test of Courage is set concurrently to Light of the Jedi, meaning that its events must occur around that year as well. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Character Encyclopedia - Join the Battle! places the birth of Asajj Ventress to 50 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas states that A New Hope begins in 0 BBY, Ventress' birth must have occurred in 50 BBY. You are mad, Malicos. Dathomir has unmade you, and my misplaced loyalty has allowed you to lead the Nightbrothers astray. Unlike the Jedi, the Nightsisters of Dathomir do not turn on their kind. Our bond is eternal." ―Merrin, to Taron Malicos and Cal Kestis [1] By the time of the New Republic, Elsbeth, another surviving Nightsister, was a servant of Grand Admiral Thrawn, had taken control of the city of Calodan on the forest planet Corvus, and Djarin speculated she was plundering the planet like she had done to many others for the Galactic Empire. Working together, Djarin and Tano liberated the city, and Tano asked her where Thrawn was located. [37]
