Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars) WIP 1
Ahsoka Tano is one of those characters that had to grow on me over time. I watched the Clone wars CGI cartoon first run and even went to the movie premier that was really just the first three episodes. So, I got to meet Ahsoka when she first came out. And I hated her. She was the annoying tag long kid who thought she was better than she was and just generally intruded on any scene she was a part of. But over time my feeling changed as she changed and grew.
She had to learn the lessons of loss and failure and getting back up. She had to grow into a warrior and hone that enthusiasm into a focused intensity. Through her we got to see the Anakin the rest of the Star Wars galaxy knew before Darth Vader, the Hero. And I use the capital advisedly because while I wouldn’t use that word for any of the other Jedi I would use it for him. It was no wonder he didn’t talk about her in Revenge of the Sith. He was still suffering from the loss of what was a combination of his little sister and daughter. Family.
When she left the Jedi order at the end of the series I honestly don’t know why Anakin didn’t leave himself. It would have made perfect sense given his arc up to that point and it would have solved so many problems down the line. Or made things worse, I’m not sure which.
When she came back in rebels I literally cheered to see this character I loved all grown up and taking charge. Especially when she revealed she wasn’t a Jedi. She never went back to the order but she kept up the fight. Again Anakin, my dude, here his your example. The children will lead the way.
