Ahsoka Tano and Caitlin Clark: The power of being a groundbreaker

Ahsoka Tano and Caitlin Clark: The power of being a groundbreaker

As a lifelong fan of both sports and Star Wars, I can honestly say that Caitlin Clark and Ahsoka Tano have become two of my all-time favorite characters. Their journeys, from struggling youngsters to shining stars, have resonated deeply with me and millions of others.


Over the past two years, I can’t help but feel captivated by Caitlin Clark, the women’s basketball sensation who’s swept across America like a storm. She’s not just shaking up women’s sports; she’s uplifting our spirits nationwide, much like how Ahsoka Tano has done for the Star Wars universe. Both of them have transcended their respective worlds, leaving an indelible mark that resonates beyond the game or the screen.

Clark experienced growing pains while playing in Iowa and at the Indiana Fever, but she’s now considered one of the top five players in the WNBA without question. On the other hand, Ahsoka, who first appeared in the 2008 film “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” has given viewers a chance to witness her evolution from a young character into a strong leader and formidable Jedi.

Clark significantly enhanced the performance of his teammate Lexie Hull, who had an exceptional season this year. Compared to last season, Hull’s field goal percentage has risen by a substantial seven percent. This improvement mirrors that of Sabine Wren from the Star Wars series “Ahsoka,” who brought out the best in Ahsoka and returned to her former master. Similarly, Sabine, much like Hull, discovered her purpose and is now wielding the Force with great strength.

Beyond her on-court achievements, Clark’s influence on the WNBA is significant. The attendance at Indiana Fever games has skyrocketed, with an average of 17,000 spectators per game – a stark contrast to last season’s 4,000. In terms of television viewership, the Fever account for 26 out of the top 30 most-watched games this season. Clark’s popularity has attracted new and enthusiastic fans globally. Her jersey is currently the best-selling in the league.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share an exciting piece of news about Ahsoka! In its debut episode alone, it managed to captivate 14 million viewers, making it the second most-watched streaming series in the US during the week of September 3rd. The captivating character of Ahsoka has undeniably drawn in a wave of new, enthusiastic fans, particularly among the younger generation, adding fresh energy to this beloved franchise.

The show has just been awarded an Emmy for exceptional Fantasy/Sci-Fi costumes. And, it’s predicted that Clark could win Rookie of the Year in 2024. There’s a strong possibility she’ll make it into the top five players in the league as well.

In my house, there’s a painting of Ahsoka Tano from Season 2 of The Mandalorian: The Jedi. As my daughter and I keep up with the WNBA and star player Caitlin Clark, perhaps we’ll bring more artwork into our home – something featuring Clark and the Fever that’s as trailblazing as Ahsoka has been.
