Ahsoka Tano

About Ahsoka Tano

Ahsoka Tano was born on Shili and discovered as a Force-sensitive child by Jedi Master Plo Koon. She was brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and trained within the Jedi Order before Grand Master Yoda assigned her to Anakin Skywalker during the Battle of Christophsis. Anakin initially believed she had been sent to serve Obi-Wan Kenobi and resisted taking responsibility for an apprentice. Their first mission carried them from Christophsis to Teth as they sought to rescue Rotta the Hutt and prevent Count Dooku from turning Jabba against the Republic. Ahsoka survived the mission and earned Anakin’s acceptance as his Padawan. Ahsoka soon became a commander within the Grand Army of the Republic and often served beside Captain Rex and the soldiers of the 501st Legion. She helped Anakin and Plo Koon oppose the Separatist warship Malevolence before receiving her first major starfighter command during the campaign to liberate Ryloth. Her refusal to obey Anakin’s orders caused her squadron to enter an enemy trap and many pilots were killed. Ahsoka accepted responsibility for the failure and later devised a new assault that helped break the Separatist blockade. She continued fighting on worlds such as Geonosis where she worked beside Barriss Offee to destroy a droid factory and survived after the structure collapsed around them. Her missions gradually placed her beyond Anakin’s immediate protection. Ahsoka joined the dangerous infiltration of the Citadel and carried vital military intelligence back to the Jedi Council. She later survived captivity on a Trandoshan hunting moon by uniting the other prisoners and leading their resistance until help arrived. Ahsoka also supervised Republic support for rebels fighting Separatist rule on Onderon. She later escorted Jedi younglings to Ilum for the construction of their lightsabers and protected them when Hondo Ohnaka’s pirates attacked. After General Grievous assaulted Hondo’s base on Florrum she fought beside the younglings and
