Ahsoka Tano stories that will transform your view of The Clone Wars

Ahsoka Tano’s character has undergone a remarkable transformation since first appearing in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film. From being generally disliked as a Togruta, she has ascended to becoming one of the most adored Jedi ever. Once individuals encounter her, they often find themselves eager to learn everything there is to know about her. Typically, their journey begins with the TV show that follows the movie directly.

Ahsoka Tano, your favorite character from The Clone Wars, appears in other Star Wars tales as well. Interestingly, delving deeper into her stories only serves to amplify her significance in the 2008 television series.

Tales of the Jedi

Despite the fact that Tales of the Jedi is generally overlooked within the broader Star Wars fandom, this six-part series skillfully delves into the intricate lives of Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku during their time as Jedi, and later, when they were no longer Jedi. The three episodes featuring Ahsoka offer a compelling depiction not just of her growth through her Jedi training and connection with the Force, but also how these experiences change dramatically following Order 66.

In one memorable instance, Anakin Skywalker and his clone soldiers tutor Ahsoka in enduring relentless blasterfire from enemies, a skill reminiscent of her survival tactics during the Jedi Purge in ‘The Clone Wars.’ After witnessing how Ahsoka mastered this challenging technique, you’ll find that pivotal moment in the series takes on a whole new meaning.

E.K. Johnston’s Star Wars: Ahsoka novel

As a film enthusiast, I eagerly devoured the “Ahsoka” novel even before the seventh season of “The Clone Wars” aired in 2020. Reading this book, I found myself drawn back to some pivotal episodes of the show, realizing anew the profound impact Order 66 had on Ahsoka and her harrowing journey during the Jedi Purge. The novel offers a poignant insight into her trauma, making the events all the more gripping and relatable.

This novel, set a year after Order 66, follows Ahsoka’s challenging journey towards acceptance and overcoming her past. Johnston skillfully weaves a profound and impactful narrative that explores Ahsoka’s struggle to find her place in the galaxy as the Jedi Order she knew no longer exists. Experiencing this book followed by the Siege of Mandalore arc from The Clone Wars series is almost like a spiritual journey.

Star Wars Rebels Season 2

Ahsoka Tano assumes a somewhat lesser yet still impactful part in the animated Star Wars Rebels TV series. In this capacity, she often functions as a mentor to figures like Ezra Bridger. Yet, she does not shy away from engaging in her own combat, most notably during the show’s second season.

In the second season of Star Wars Rebels, we see how deeply Anakin Skywalker’s transformation into Darth Vader continues to affect Ahsoka years after the Clone Wars have ended. This transformation is so significant that their subsequent confrontation alters Ahsoka’s life forever. Re-watching The Clone Wars TV series following this becomes a fresh, captivating, and incredibly rewarding experience.
