Star Wars is a franchise filled with characters who undergo a lot, and Ahsoka Tano has had a reasonably eventful life. Since she debuted on Star Wars: The Clone Wars as an apprentice to Anakin Skywalker throughout the prequels, she’s been caught up in a single occasion after one other, from partaking in navy skirmishes to surviving Order 66 and being a key participant within the rising Insurrection. Together with her upcoming solo series set to debut in a number of months, one of many present’s key threads will see Ahsoka (as performed in live-action by Rosario Dawson) studying to let individuals totally into her life once more.
Talking to Empire Magazine, showrunner Dave Filoni (and likewise Ahsoka’s co-creator) mentioned the titular present would discover how lonely her life has change into since turning into Not a Jedi and leaping round from place to put. He mentioned the present would begin off together with her as a wanderer who’s “cautious of any group as such due to the facility that comes with it as a gaggle.” Throughout the remaining season of Clone Wars, this was one thing hinted without delay she was reunited with Anakin and Obi-Wan, however shall be given extra focus right here.
Jedi dwelling solitary lives is pretty widespread, however the circumstances of Ahsoka’s loneliness are extra sophisticated than others like her. Between surviving Order 66, a number of Inquisitors, and a battle together with her previous grasp, she’s acquired loads of cause to be closed off. And it ought to assist clarify why the character’s live-action appearances in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have felt so…off in a method or one other the place she dips out anytime she will get a whiff of neighborhood being shaped. (It’s not even all that unique to live-action, as she appeared and disappeared all through the second season of Star Wars Rebels.)
Whereas it’s been simple for Ahsoka to return and go as she pleases from locations previously, that received’t be fairly as simple in her present. In Rebels, she was saved by that present’s protagonist Ezra Bridger (performed right here by Eman Esfandi), and he advised her to return discover him. That is her means of returning the favor, and that’ll require her to companion up with fellow Rebels character Sabine Wren (Natasha Bordizzo) as they journey the galaxy searching for their lacking buddy. Filoni had no drawback saying connecting with Sabine throughout their travels collectively could be a problem for her. “[Ahsoka] walks a path that principally died out a very long time in the past,” Filoni noticed. “What’s that life like? If you’re a loner, you may have a really small circle of mates. What’s it like, then, if you attempt to open again up?”
