Talk:Ahsoka Tano

Non Notable

The author asserts non notability. The author even states that this character has not done anything yet.Undeath (talk) 03:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

She is in the new film though, and will most likely have a major role. I am sure much more will be learned about her in the near future. Blackngold29 (talk) 06:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

this need to be mentioned so every one noticed that her5 light saber style is the same has star killer from force unleashed ] - has he said what happens to her ( she is not in episode III) and Darth Vader Wipes most the Padawans/younglings out is Vader the one to kill her. there are only 2 options she has to be dead before Obi-Wan dies.

maybe their some possible connection

The similarities between Ahsoka Tano and Galen Merik are trivia and trivial. Regarding her fate, speculation is not encouraged but she could have been one of the thousands of Jedi killed by the Clone Troopers. 173.180.89.129 (talk) 10:19, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Ahsoka Tano is loved by all ages from kids to adults

attack of the clones cameo

I know attack of the clones came put before the clone wars but one of the kids yoda was training was a torgtua and so is ahsoka.plus the clone wars is 10 years (I think in between attack of the clones and revenge of the sith any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Forceblast (talk • contribs) 22:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Uh...hello!!The clone wars was 3 year long,idiot.

Ok first off who ever typed the message above this should not be alowd to post on here or they should have atleast signed off. I thought you where to be respectful when responding on these. Yet this user called someone an idiot.--68.81.176.14 (talk) 15:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

For what its worth Wookiepedia says that the Togruta youngling seen training with Yoda in AOTC is named Ashla. Not Ahsoka. And yes shame on the user above who posted the "Uh...hello!...idiot" comment.Racerx11 (talk) 23:39, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Death

-She should be capture by the empire and taken to Vader.The emperor remembers that she was once his apprentice,so he decide to temperaility stop there search for Luke and try to get her to turn to the dark side.After fighting both Vader and Sidious.Sidious use his force lighting on her and making Vader choose to either save the one he care for once,or prove his loyality to his master and kill her,deja vu.It's like what happen in 6 with Luke, well mostly.He chose the emperor and force choke Ahsoka,killing her.And that should had soften up Vader for R.O.T.J. and decided not to let the last person her cared for die to Darth Sidious or Datrh Vader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Z Thun Der (talk • contribs) 03:55, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Maybe she will be killed during the Clone Wars and Anakin goes after her killer with a vengeance like he did to the Sand people after they killed his mother. This furthers his angry nature and pushes him closer to the Dark Side.

Entirely plausible. Anakin never aquired the title of Jedi Master, indicating that he never completed the training of his Padawan. Given this and the fact that she is nowhere to be seen in any of the other stories set after the Clone Wars, I believe it is a safe assumption that she died at some point prior to the start of Revenge of the Sith. I would also speculate that something like this combined with his own issues (about both his own training and about the deaths of friends) probably contributed to his decisions over the years to train others even while still under the re-apprenticeship of Darth Sidious. As the Sith were every bit as touchy about the rules of apprenticing as the Jedi were, this would explain why not even his new master would risk dangling a flame around this powderkeg by telling Anakin not to. Well, I suppose this will be one more funeral for the audience to attend in a few years from now. Sweetfreek (talk) 09:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Maybe she turns to the Dark Side and Mace Windhu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Yoda kill her. Anakin doesn't think this is right, creating fruther feelings of alienation for the Jedi within him.

Are there any female Sith in the original trilogy that she could turn out to be?

There are some Dark Jedi but no Sith. There also were some Jedi that survived and if anyone would know how to hide from Darth Vader it would be her.

Can we please refrain from discussing the fate of this character here. Talk pages are not forums. - plau (talk) 16:26, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Shadday Potkin created a meeting with 8 other unnamed jedi and leaked it to Vader to defeat him but thry all died. Ahsoka could have been on of those 8.

A trailer for season 3 shows Ahsoka with disfigured skin and yellow eyes, trying her hardest to murder the future Darth Vader. Make of that what you will. 173.180.89.129 (talk) 10:10, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

The episode(s) to which you refer has since aired. It was revealed that The Son aligned with the Dark Side, cast a spell onto Ahsoka which temporarily turned her to the Dark Side. This is what causes her go crazy and attack Anakin and Obi Wan. However, one can't help while watching this, that she was expressing some repressed feelings while under spell and that this is a foreshadow to what has been hinted at and suspected all along: She will eventually succumb to and join the Dark Side of the Force.

In season three, four, and five she has one lightsaber and a shoto (a kind of lightsaber that is smaller in size). Their colors are green, and a light green/dark yellow, respectively. --Pauldunahoo (talk) 20:28, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

"graduates to Padawan at an early age"?!

Ahsoka, being assigned to a Master at age 14, could not have been let out of the Temp at an earlier than normal age, as the usual age was around 12. If by age 13 a Master was not found, they were sent to the AgriCorps. I've gotten this information from the Jude Watson Jedi Apprentice novels, an official Star Wars source. The people who are making The Clone Wars don't seem to have read that. So, I'd say that they let Ahsoka stay in longer than most padawans, possibly waiting until she was 14 because Anakin wasn't ready for an apprentice until that point. I realize that canon sources are conflicting on this, so I think that the confliction needs to be noted.67.191.99.7 (talk) 10:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

She might've simply been assigned to a different master before Anakin or perhaps 14 for her species is considered early. In any case, these are original speculation/analysis. Ssh83 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:12, 1 December 2009 (UTC).

Due to the Clone Wars, younglings typically could not become a padawan until age 16. Taking a child into a battlefield was considered immoral, so the rules were changed. Ahsoka was an exception to this rule, so the canon statement that she graduated early remains legitimate. --Pauldunahoo (talk) 20:31, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Death in Season 3?

Well you never know, until it airs. She could have been killed by Cad Bane. In Cargo of Doom he almost does he might go after her for revenge later. I don't think Ahsoka would ever turn to the dark side . I dout she would if she was influenced by Anakin 'cause shes alot like him, but she still has a heart of gold. She was proablly killed on the tv show. Anakin usally would do anything to protect her but remember what happened to Padmae. Shadday Potkin organized a secret meeting with 8 other jedi that survived the overtrow and secretly leaked it to Vader hoping to stop him . It never says who they were. Ahsoka could have been there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.26.251.44 (talk) 20:35, 10 December 2009 (UTC) If you see the preveiw 4 season 3 youll see that Aurra Sing is saying "She will die and theres nothing that you can do." well looking at ahsoka right behind her. Bane said thaat the seppies were giving 1 million credits a head 4 a jedi. Sing & Bane could be working together again. Sing has a grude against Skywalker, Windo,Tano, and Koon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.150.52 (talk) 23:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Doubtful, and Aurra Sing was proven wrong. Ahsoka does turn to the Dark Side during season 3, but I heard somewhere the necklace she was wearing was corrupting her. Asfor her death, the possibilities are endless: she could have been offed by the stormtroopers during Order 66, been killed by Vader during the Jedi Temple purge, have survived Order 66 but been killed by Cad Bane or Boba Fett or Aura Sing or Asajj Ventress or General Grievous or Starkiller or etc., or have survived Order 66 and remained in hiding throughout the whole EU. However, since Ahsoka is still alive in the series, any discussion of her death is nothing more than speculation. 173.180.89.129 (talk) 05:31, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Just here to tell you that it wasn't a necklace, it was The Son who bit her in one of the Mortis episodes (can't remember which) and it is heavily implied that she has not turned to the dark side but is simply being controlled by The Son (the dual-layered voice anyone?).

Ahsoka does not die during The Clone Wars TV Show, or in any other canon material at this time. And no, she never turned to the dark side, she was being controlled by The Son. --Pauldunahoo (talk) 20:33, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Ahsoka and Toshiro

The episode in which Ahsoka loses and recovers her light saber reminds me of the great film Mad Dog, starring Toshiro Mifune and directed by Akira Kurosawa. Das Baz, aka Erudil 20:21, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

well also think she got raped by mace windo. yoda told her she could never have kids so she kills herself. Mace windo uses mind tricks so he doesnt get in trouble —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.207.238 (talk) 17:06, 24 June 2010 (UTC) These ideas are absurd and nonsensical. Master Windu is not a rapist and Ahsoka would not commit suicide. Das Baz, aka Erudil 20:21, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

It would be wonderful if in a future episode of Star Wars: Legacy, our Ahsoka would turn up alive - maybe frozen in carbonite somewhere. Das Baz, aka Erudil 20:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

She fights Darth Vader in one of the books, but I don't think it's canon. 173.180.89.129 (talk) 10:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Ahsoka in a new Star Wars movie

The last thing that happens with Ahsoka in the Clone Wars series is that she leaves the Jedi Order. This is good. No longer a Jedi, she does not get killed by Order 66. Therefore, in a new Star Wars movie she turns up alive and well, after decades of hiding out. She rejoins the Jedi Order, and soon becomes a Jedi Master. Bring her victorious, happy and glorious. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:13, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Duelling the Sith

So far, Ahsoka Tano has never duelled a Sith Lord. She's fought Asajj Ventress and General Grievous but Grievous can't use the Force and although even Darth Sidious considers Ventress to be powerful, she's not a true Sith. I think Ahsoka should have at least one duel with Count Dooku during the Clone Wars but if Dooku kills her that will destroy the continuity for the duel between Anakin and Dooku in Revenge of the Sith because someone would have mentioned her if Dooku was responsible for her death.

A duel with Darth Maul is also a possibility considering Maul survived being sliced in half on Naboo. I think he survived through a combination of his hatred for Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the natural resilience of the Zabrak species. However Dooku is Sidious' true apprentice in the Clone Wars, until Darth Vader replaces him, so I think it would be more fitting if Ahsoka duelled him. I hate to say this but there is also a possibility that Maul could kill Ahsoka but I really hope that he doesn't, partially because she's my favourite character and partially because I think she should survive until The Force Unleashed.

I also think it's very important to have Ahsoka duel Darth Vader. I'm ninety five percent sure that they will duel at some point in the future; I think it's very unlikely that Ahsoka will die in the Clone Wars or in Order 66 (which counts as part of the Clone Wars even though it takes place at the very end). Personally I don't think that Vader should kill her; as Anakin Skywalker he loved her a great deal. Any affection he had for Obi-Wan was destroyed when Obi-Wan left him for dead on Mustifar, Padme died in childbirth and he had no idea that Luke and Leia existed until about twenty years after they were born. I think Ahsoka should survive at least until the Force Unleashed because when Vader confronted Galen Marek before taking the rebels to the Death Star, he said four short but, if you think about it, very important words;

Galen Marek: You never planned to destroy the emperor!

Darth Vader: Not with you, no.

Personally I also think it's time that George Lucas had a woman fight Darth Sidious; in Revenge of the Sith, every single duel that Sidious was involved in was against males and the same goes for the Force Unleashed and I think almost all Expanded Universe stories. I can only think of two females that have fought Sidious, and I doubt that either of them were a match for him, plus one of those females was only implied to have duelled him. Apparently Leia briefly tried to fight him after he returned from the dead, but he wiped the floor with her and it has been implied that Vergere might have duelled him because apparently she tried to assassinate him. If Ahsoka does duel Sidious I think it should take place at some point after the Force Unleashed. I think Ahsoka should die after A New Hope but before The Empire Strikes Back and I think that Darth Sidious himself should be the one who kills her, although I also think Ahsoka should put up a fierce fight instead of getting defeated as easily as Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto. Darth Vader killing Ahsoka is too predictable, plus I don't really think he could bring himself to do it; he's not entirely evil and that needs to be displayed before his redemption in Return of the Jedi.46.208.82.207 (talk) 23:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

First off, I'll suggest looking at Wookieepedia's "Behind the scenes" thing, has some interesting info to add to Development. Now, obviously, can't source Wookieepedia, but a place to start.

A lot of IGN, so wouldn't mind favouring other sources over them for the sake of breadth if nothing else. Might also be some stuff in individual episode/that-film reviews, didn't look too much at those. As always, I cast a wide net so not all sources may be that useful.

Recent edits

Regarding the most recent edits to this page, I am trying to trim it down to a reasonable size for verbosity as well as [[[WP:PLOT]], WP:FICTION and WP:TONE. Obviously, there is a disagreement with this matter with the addition of detail that I find to be excessive. I would very much welcome additional editors to discuss this matter. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 09:49, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

The edits in their current form seem fine to me. However, with regards to the whole "confused/heartbroken/devastated" conundrum, if Dave Filoni actually spoke about this specifically then you should use his words and provide a reference to it. If he said "conflicted" and "deeply hurt" then that's what it should be rephrased to say. Using the words of an authoritative source is always best when possible. -Dwimble (talk) 19:13, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

I agree with the proper wording and the source we can use. Also, here's the actual quotes that Dave Filoni said:

"Ahsoka walks away because she is conflicted. She is not mad at Anakin, she knows doing this will hurt him, but she hopes he understands. She is frustrated with the Jedi Council, there is a feeling of betrayal. Much of this has to do with Anakin’s training and attachment rubbing off on her. She also leaves because while she believes Barriss was wrong, she cannot deny that there is truth to what Barriss was saying, especially in light of her own recent experiences. She needs perspective."

The "confused and heartbroken" is not mentioned in the text anywhere and are merely assumptions so we still should go by what Filoni has said about this matter. In a recent discussion, I learned that the "deeply hurt and disappointed by the whole ordeal" is used by Wookieepedia and Wikia, which are unfortunately not reliable sources in this matter, so are there any sources for it? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 07:47, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

My only thought is that it might be worth considering eliminating the season-by-season section breakdowns. Their presence kind of nudges editors to fill in content To Make Each Section Worthy of Being Its Own Section, but I'm not sure that's always the case. I binged Clone Wars too long ago to be useful there, but with Rebels, her unseen, marginal presence as Fulcrum suggests to me that really we don't need to "spin out" season 1 for her -- her first-season role can be summed up in a sentence or two. Hmm. Maybe I'll just go do it. --EEMIV (talk) 15:28, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

I totally missed the actual specific question y'all posed about phrasing. If it's contentious and lending itself to misinterpretation, maybe just useful to drop in a blockquote from Filoni expressing it all directly. It'd be hard to paraphrase it much tighter than he's already expressed it. --EEMIV (talk) 17:19, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

I hope this is resolved. I found a source for the quoted text from starwars.com and used one of the various emotion-words in the write-up. I did not offer up an exhaustive catalog of every word in that interview -- or the dozen or so others I stumbled into during my plunge down the rabbit hole today -- for how Ahsoka feels in the finale. But, if not exhaustive, the current state seems to me sufficient for a general knowledge encyclopedia entry. --EEMIV (talk) 03:47, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

First-season Rebels/voice source

Hey -- it's "duh" obvious that Eckstein's performance as Fulcrum in Rebels' first season is to keep her identity secret. Anyone heard or read anything from Eckstein or Filoni backing up that claim/interpretation? Would be worth mentioning. --EEMIV (talk) 15:54, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Significant trim

Well, then. I'm pulling myself out of an Ahsoka rabbit hole that's occupied much of this day. The big thing that stands out to me is that the whole Clone Wars section is an impenetrable wall of text, all plot summary and variations of "...and then Ahsoka [and other(s)] verbed an object." The volume of appearances in the show doesn't require an exhaustive list of everything she does. Really, those five seasons can mostly boil down to, "She appears and adventures with Anakin and some clones, sometimes on her own, a few times with troopers, and once gets blamed for something she didn't do. Consequently, she decided to leave the Jedi order." NB a section or two above about how best to articulate that.

Any thought about this as a possible Clone Wars TV show block of text, with tweaks for her departure (again, lining up with the discussion two sections above)?

Ahsoka is a lead character in all five broadcast seasons of The Clone Wars. She is a commander in the Republic army and continues to learn the ways of the Jedi as Anakin Skywalker's padawan. The two develop a mutual fondness, at times taking great risks to protect or save one another. Ahsoka also finds mentorship from Captain Rex, a clone trooper with whom she and Anakin serve throughout the war. During the final arc of season five, Ahsoka is framed and imprisoned for a deadly explosion at the Jedi Temple and a subsequent murder. Although eventually exonerated, she leaves the Jedi order in the season finale. Although not depicted on screen, executive producer Dave Filoni said Ahsoka surrendered her lightsabers to the Jedi.(ref that Rebel Recon video)

I guess, then, I'm asking two questions: anyone else agree that the Clone Wars TV section is just *way* too much plot trivia? And, if so, any thoughts on the paraphrase above? --EEMIV (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I think that sounds like a good alternative. I would agree with trimming it down to just a paragraph at least. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 17:38, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the plunge; let's hope it sticks. --EEMIV (talk) 03:43, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

The Mandaloroan S2 now finally showed live action version so should that be used for main picture in profile section? Kohcohf (talk) 15:57, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Not solely. If anything, combined with the animated one, because that is the more prominent portrayal of the character given it's how the character has appeared more. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:11, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

I don't think recency is as big a factor as "how is this subject generally seen/perceived." A single live-action appearance is a drop in the bucket compared to years of various animated appearances. As a side-note, this article really should include some commentary/information on how the character's appearance was modified and created for the live-action show. "Here's what she looks like in the flesh" -- which is pretty much the extent of the coverage of the current live-action image -- doesn't really meet the level of commentary/illustration that a fair-use image should have. --EEMIV (talk) 16:53, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

The episode article has done it, you could probably copy from there: Chapter_13:_The_Jedi#Design. In short, horns and head tails shortened for practical reasons (stunts), makeup adjusted, but you could describe it in more detail if you wanted. -- 109.79.170.4 (talk) 12:55, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Ahsoka Tano Creator

Over the years, this article has changed several times to include or exclude Dave Filoni as co-creator of Ahsoka Tano. Although many media sources refer to him as co-creator or even sole creator, none of these sources have included official quotes from anyone actually involved with any official production with her character. Only George Lucas is listed as creator in the Clone Wars credits and so for many years this article only listed George Lucas as creator. Many sources do indicate that Filoni was involved in early stages of character design and he was director on The Clone Wars film. But these are insufficient grounds to name him co-creator. He did not write The Clone Wars movie, nor did he write more than a few episodes of The Clone Wars series before Disney purchased Lucasfilm, so any of those writers, particularly Henry Gilroy, Steven Melching, and Scott Murphy, credited screenwriters of The Clone Wars film, would have at least equal right to the title of "co-creator". Arguably, Dermot Power and Iain McCaig, concept artists for the first togruta character in Attack of the Clones, should deserve co-creator credit for defining a significant amount of Ahsoka's appearance. The argument could get even thornier. Should Irvin Kershner be credited as co-creator of Lando Calrissian? Currently Wikipedia credits George Lucas and Empire Strikes Back screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan as Calrissian's creators, not Kershner or Kasdan's fellow screenwriter Leigh Brackett. Actors make choices in crafting their characters. Should Billy Dee Williams be credited as co-creator? And so on. So unless an official source definitively lists Filoni as co-creator, creator status should be exclusively attributed to the credited creator on Clone Wars.

What you're saying is original research. We go by reliable sources, and they all refer to Filoni as co-creator. Even the source for Lucas, from official Star Wars media, talks about how Dave created the concept for her. "the character that would become Ahsoka was part of a ragtag crew and envisioned by Dave Filoni under a different name: Ashla."

"envisioned" does not mean "created". Obviously not all reliable sources say Filoni is co-creator since The Clone Wars itself does not credit Filoni as co-creator. Setsuled (talk) 12:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Reliable sources say Filoni is the co-creator.[3] – Muboshgu (talk) 15:48, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

That's still only in the text by the author of the article. Empire may be a respected publication but that still qualifies as an opinion since no official sources have named Dave Filoni as co-creator. Find an official source that names Filoni as co-creator. Since only articles since Disney bought Star Wars have referred to Filoni has co-creator it seems to be a common misconception. So please find an official source that names Filoni as co-creator before changing the article again. Setsuled (talk) 21:07, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Empire is a reliable source, and Wikipedia goes by reliable sources. There is no requirement for an "official source". I could present to you StarWars.com saying Created by George Lucas and Dave Filoni, the character of Ahsoka Tano made her debut in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where she was introduced as the Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. and you may find a reason to poo-poo that too. Please stop being disruptive. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:02, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Why assume that? I think StarWars.com, and even better the book the site quotes from, is a perfectly fine source. Empire is not a good source, even though it's reliable, because it's secondary. Even reputable publications make attribution errors like that and since the credits of The Clone Wars does not list Filoni as a creator it looked fishy. Setsuled (talk) 10:46, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

George Lucas is the architect, Filoni is the builder, that does not make him co-creator. Frankly it is misleading that this article claims otherwise, and I'm wiling to bet has lead to WP:CITOGENESIS by sources like Empire. -- 109.76.196.41 (talk) 22:42, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Find a source to back up that ridiculous claim. Right now, dozens and dozens of reliable sources refer to Dave as the co-creator. It stays. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 03:15, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Togruta

Shouldn't it be stated more prominently that she's a Togruta? It's only mentioned in the infobox and randomly in a note. It's a crucial part of her identity and design, and someone who's not familiar with the character wouldn't understand why she looks the way she looks. Kumagoro-42 (talk) 11:20, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

If you have authoritative sources considering it in this particular context, then there is no problem. Otherwise it may cause friction with more strict users. Even if the information is official and canon, it is still necessary to confirm its direct connection with the subject of the article. Solaire the knight (talk) 20:24, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
