Ahsoka Tano became one of Star Wars Most prolific characters, and her adventurous journey has arguably just begun. Despite being introduced in 2008s Star Wars: The Clone Wars Movie like Anakin Skywalker’s Surprise Padawan, Ahsoka has had an undeniably positive influence on the franchise as a whole. She became an integral part of Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s life, defying the Jedi Order when they betrayed her, single-handedly defeating Maul in one of Star Wars Most impressive lightsaber duels, and became a force for good in the Rebellion, too.
Who knows where Star Wars Would be without Ahsoka Tano today? Almost every modern Star Wars The story involves her in some way – Lucasfilm and Disney+ seem to be quite fond of her, in particular. Since the launch of Disney’s streaming platform, Ahsoka has featured in The Clone Wars season 7, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett And Star Wars: Tales of the JediAnd she became the star of her own self-titled live action series, a series inextricably intertwined with Star Wars Rebels And The Mandalorian. Ahsoka Tano may now, in fact, be one of the franchise’s most influential characters of all time.

How Ahsoka Tano joined the Jedi
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Episode 1
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi is an anthology series that dives deeper into the lives of two prominent (ex)Jedi: Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. The show’s first episode, titled “Life and Death,” reveals the circumstances of Ahsoka’s birth, the customs of her people, the Togruta, and how her family discovered Ahsoka’s sensitivity to the Force. It’s a simple episode, but an important one nonetheless: the Togruta are woefully underdeveloped in the franchise’s canon lore, and the episode provided some valuable insight into their culture.
It helps, of course, that baby Ahsoka is cute as a button in this mini-episode, showing her resilience and strength from a young age. As her mother takes her out on a custom hunt, Ahsoka comes face-to-face with a terrifying creature, a creature she immediately slays with the power of the Force. At the end of the episode, we see a glimpse of Ahsoka’s first meeting with Jedi Master Plo-KoonWith whom she had a special connection throughout Star Wars: The Clone Wars too.

Ahsoka Tano’s Clone Wars Adventures
Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Tales of the Jedi Episode 5
Ahsoka was first introduced in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Movie, however Her journey didn’t really begin until the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Show started that same year. As Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan during the Clone Wars, Ahsoka’s learning curve was a little different from what her peers had experienced. Anakin passed on his adventurous spirit, his recklessness and his financial acumen to his Padawan, all traits that can still be seen in Ahsoka’s character years later. The Clone Wars were a rough time for the Jedi, however, and neither Anakin nor Ahsoka came out of it unscathed.
Ahsoka and Anakin became incredibly close as friends—closer than the Jedi Code would normally allow or encourage—and things quickly went downhill when Ahsoka is falsely accused of bombing the Jedi Temple in The Clone Wars Season 5. As it turned out, her former friend and fellow Padawan, Barriss Offee, orchestrated the attack as a way to express her displeasure with the actions of the Jedi during the galaxy-spanning conflict. Ahsoka was reinstated to the Jedi Order, but the damage was already done, and she left Anakin and everything she had ever known behind to start over.

Her separation from the Jedi would not last long, though— in The Clone Wars In Season 7, she contacted Anakin and Obi-Wan about the Siege of Mandalore, where, after defeating and capturing Darth Maul, she narrowly escaped the clones’ wrath and the effects of Order 66 (Using a technique Anakin had taught her in the early days of their partnership as seen in Tales of the Jedi Episode 5, “Practice Makes Perfect”). Ahsoka’s journey during the Clone Wars was an emotional but necessary one. It allowed her to become what she was always meant to be.

Ahsoka Tano joins the rebellion
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Episode 6
What happened to Ahsoka between the end of the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels Remained a mystery until Star Wars Published author EK Johnston’s novel, Ahsoka. The novel examines Ahsoka’s life while in hiding during the early days of the Empire’s reign. She landed in a remote farming community where, until she was forced to use her powers to save one of the villagers, she was able to lie low, despite the Empire’s request to gather the planet’s resources.

Although Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Episode 6, “Resolve,” partially retconned Johnston’s novel, the gist of the story remaining the same. After secretly attending Padmé Amidala’s funeral, Ahsoka meets Bail Organa, who offers her a way to communicate if she ever wants to join his secret resistance efforts. At first, Ahsoka refused, but after fighting (and killing) an Inquisitor on the distant moon to save a similar farming community, Ahsoka joined the Rebellion once and for all.

Ahsoka Tano’s return as Fulcrum
Star Wars Rebels
Ahsoka Tano returns! Ahsoka’s first appearance in Star Wars Rebels Occurred at the end of season 1, years before she would return in The Clone Wars‘ final season. Audiences have no idea where she’s been or what she’s been to (Johnston’s novel wasn’t published until 2016, and Ahsoka’s Rebels debut took place in 2015), but her reappearance is nevertheless a most welcome surprise. Operating under the code name Fulcrum, Ahsoka has worked undercover across the galaxy to gain vital intel for the Flying Rebellion.
As she became an honorary member of Rebels‘ Ghost Crew, Ahsoka grew closer to fellow Jedi Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger. Together, they attempted to unlock the secrets of the Sith and Darth Vader, culminating in an epic battle on the planet Malachor in the Star Wars Rebels Season 2 finale. Ahsoka came face to face with Vader for the first time, and as she finally realized the truth of Vader’s identity, she fought him in a match (seemingly) to the death.. Ahsoka disappears at the end of the episode, but her story is far from over.

The Missing Years of Ahsoka Tano
Some parts of Ahsoka’s story are still untold
What happened to Ahsoka between surviving Malachor and returning to Lothal to meet with Sabine Ren is still something of a mystery. However, these Rebels Epilogue is partially recounted by Ahsoka. As such, we know that At some point before Ahsoka and Sabine embark on their second quest for Ezra, the former Jedi takes Sabine as her Padawan. Although this was an undeniably surprising turn of events, as Sabine had shown no real indication of being Force-sensitive in RebelsTheir dynamic was at the heart of the show, opening up thousands of new possibilities for the franchise to explore.
Anywhere Among these Rebels Finale and AhsokaAhsoka also found and reunited with the Jedi Order’s droid, HuyangA character originally introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Hoyang is an incredibly valuable resource – he’s been with the Jedi Order for thousands of years and has encyclopedic knowledge of the Jedi’s history and their lightsaber-building techniques. Huang will undoubtedly play a larger role in the so-called “Mandoverse,” which Ahsoka is now an integral part of – despite essentially functioning as a live-action version of Star Wars Rebels Season 5.

Ahsoka’s live-action return:
The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, & Ahsoka
Ahsoka Tano’s live-action debut turned her into a household name. in The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5, “The Jedi,” Din Djarin and The Child, always known as Grogu, find Ahsoka Tano on the planet Corvus. She was there to uncover information about Grand Admiral Thrawn’s – and by extension, Ezra Bridger’s – whereabouts from Lady Morgan Elbeth, one of Thrawn’s loyal servants. This episode is not only important for Grogu’s character, but also for Ahsoka – it gives the audience an insight into her state of mind after her experience with Vader and the world between worlds.
further, Ahsoka briefly (and surprisingly) appeared The Mandalorian‘s first official spinoff, The Book of Boba Fett. Although seeing Anakin Skywalker’s former Padawan with his son, Luke Skywalker, was an undeniably emotional treat for a long time Star Wars Fans, it’s a shame we never got to see their first meeting. At this point, Ahsoka and Luke have clearly met before, and she came to visit Luke’s Jedi Temple and check on Grogu’s progress. After a small but impressive heart-to-heart with Din Djarin, Ahsoka takes off again. Not for long, though.

Ahsoka had a lot to live for. It needed to develop Ahsoka’s character from The Clone Wars And RebelsIt should function as a direct Star Wars Rebels sequel, and it also needed to expand the stories of the Mandoverse, all while giving the audience something fresh and exciting. Although it has its flaws, the series largely did what it was meant to – it certainly changed Ahsoka Tano’s character for the betterHow she let go of her guilt about Anakin Skywalker and became who she was meant to be since the Star Wars Rebels Epilogue: “Ahsoka the White.”
Although Ahsoka is now stuck in another galaxy with Sabine Wren, audiences can rest assured that Ahsoka Tano will return. Ahsoka Season 2 has been given the green light by Lucasfilm, and we have no doubt that it will turn into another property related to The Mandalorian Sub-franchise sooner or later too. Until Ahsoka Tano Return to our screens, however, why not take the time to experience her Star Wars History all over again?
All of Ahsoka Tano’s Star Wars stories can be watched exclusively on Disney+.
