Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
In today’s episode, we will be going over what happens to Ahsoka Tano after the Clone
Wars series finale.
So.. if you haven’t already heard, the Clone Wars series came to an end last week.
The final few episodes, which run concurrently with the end of Episode 3, see Ahsoka narrowly
escape the horrors of Order 66.
She and Rex are last seen paying their respects to their fallen comrades, before disappearing.
We see her again in Rebels, but where does she go in between?
The book Ahsoka gives us some insights into what she has been up to.
According to Ahsoka, the former Padawan initially travelled to the planet Thabeska in the Outer
Rim, where she believed she could hide safely from the Empire's agents.
She adopts the name "Ashla," and finds work with the Fardi clan, a wealthy and powerful
family.
She works for the smuggling family for almost a year, before fleeing on the first Empire
Day when the Empire comes to Thabeska.
She then moves even further out to the Outer Rim moon Raada.
Here she poses as a mechanic, agreeing to work for a young girl named Kaeden Larte in
exchange for food.
She stays here for an undisclosed amount of time, forming relationships with Kaeden’s
friends and family.
Unfortunately, eventually the Empire comes to Raada as well.
This time, Ahsoka decides not to flee immediately, playing it cool as Imperial officers take
over the farming settlement.
While she's able to avoid being drafted by the Empire's, she's forced to stand by and
watch as an Imperial officer executes one of the farmers.
Weeks go by, and the treatment of the farmers by the Empire only worsens.
Deciding to do something about it, Ahsoka enlists some of the locals to take action.
They sabotage the Imperial walkers located at the spaceport.
In the process, Ahsoka is forced to use her Force powers to save the locals, outing herself
as a former jedi.
Knowing that she'll only be putting the farmers in danger if she sticks around, Ahsoka leaves.
She then returns to Thabeska.
On Thabeska, Ahsoka talks with one of the youngest members of the Fardi family, a young
girl named Hedala.
Hedala is Force-sensitive, and tells Ahsoka of a "shadow" she sensed while the ex-Jedi
was away.
Ahsoka settles back down on Thabeska, and works as a mechanic for the Fardis, using
one of their ships to go on rescue missions for damaged spacecraft in her spare time.However,
her actions once again attract the attention of the Empire, who arrive on Thabeska and
begin asking around for her.
She manages to evade them, but is advised by the head of the Fardi family to leave once
more.
Ahsoka soon encounters Bail Organa, who attempts to convince her to join his Rebellion movement
while also informing her an Inquisitor attacked Raada in her absence, drawn by the reports
of her using her Force powers.
Returning to the moon, the farmers tell Ahsoka the Sixth Brother, a jedi hunter, kidnapped
Kaeden, so Ahsoka goes to rescue her.
Confronting the 6th brother Ahsoka manages to destroy his lightsaber, taking the Kyber
crystals within.
She then ‘heals’ the crystals and uses them to forge her own pair of white lightsabers
-- the same ones she wields in Rebels.
She then uses her new weapons to fight off the remaining Imperials and evacuate Raada
Some time after this, she sneaks onto Bail Organa's ship and accepts his offer to join
the Rebellion.
She also tells him to call her Fulcrum, adopting the name of Anakin's old communication channel
as her new moniker.
She became one of Bail's closest confidants, as he sought to organize the Rebellion without
drawing too much attention.
During this time, she never realized Leia was actually the daughter of her former Master
Anakin Skywalker and his beloved Padmé
The next time we see her is in Star Wars Rebels where she becomes a key link in the Rebel
alliance.
This leads her to Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus, and eventually to Darth Vader.
She learns of Anakin’s shocking fall to the dark side and would have died if not for
the intervention of Ezra from the mystical reality called the World Between Worlds.
After the end of the Galactic Civil War, Ahsoka returned to a freed Lothal and resolved to
accompany the Mandalorian Sabine Wren on a quest to the Unknown Regions..
And there you have it!
