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 in the course of the prequels, she’s been caught up in a single occasion after one other, from participating in navy skirmishes to surviving Order 66 and being a key participant within the rising Insurrection. Along with her upcoming solo series set to debut in just a few months, one of many present’s key threads will see Ahsoka (as performed in live-action by Rosario Dawson) studying to let folks absolutely into her life once more.
Chatting with Empire Magazine, showrunner Dave Filoni (and likewise Ahsoka’s co-creator) stated the titular present would discover how lonely her life has develop into since turning into Not a Jedi and leaping round from place to put. He stated the present would begin off along with her as a wanderer who’s “cautious of any group as such due to the ability that comes with it as a gaggle.” Through the remaining season of Clone Wars, this was one thing hinted without delay she was reunited with Anakin and Obi-Wan, however might be given extra focus right here.
Jedi dwelling solitary lives is pretty widespread, however the circumstances of Ahsoka’s loneliness are extra difficult than others like her. Between surviving Order 66, a number of Inquisitors, and a struggle along with her previous grasp, she’s obtained loads of purpose 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 fashioned. (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 straightforward for Ahsoka to come back and go as she pleases from locations prior to now, that received’t be fairly as straightforward 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 come back discover him. That is her manner of returning the favor, and that’ll require her to associate up with fellow Rebels character Sabine Wren (Natasha Bordizzo) as they journey the galaxy searching for their lacking buddy. Filoni had no downside saying connecting with Sabine throughout their travels collectively could be a problem for her. “[Ahsoka] walks a path that mainly died out a very long time in the past,” Filoni noticed. “What’s that life like? If you’re a loner, you could have a really small circle of pals. What’s it like, then, whenever you attempt to open again up?”
