We were first introduced to Ahsoka Tano in 2008, in the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, she quickly became a favourite among die-hard devotees. An “if you know, you know” character that only those who had watched the cartoon spin-offs, read the comics and maybe even played the video games would love. In fact, among this group, Ahsoka is commonly referred to as one of the most crucial, under-the-radar figures in the franchise – and it’s easy to see why.
With ties to Anakin Skywalker (he was her former master), the Empire-defying Rebel Alliance (she was one of their founding members) and kinship with Grogu (she’s a fellow Jedi who introduced Baby Yoda to Luke Skywalker), she’s exists in a prime intersection of Star Wars lore. So when Disney announced her first ever solo adventure in live-action form in 2018, many had high hopes for the new series.
