Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
In today’s video we will be going over the best friendships that Ahsoka Tano had.
Since her debut in The Clone Wars movie in 2008, Ahsoka Tano has been on one of the greatest
journeys in Star Wars, ending up as one of the most beloved characters in the franchise.
Through her lifetime Ahsoka comes across many people and forms several friendships that
have stood out to fans.
Number 1: Lux Bonteri One of the most interesting layers to Ahsoka's
character in The Clone Wars is her romance with Lux Bonteri.
It is teased on a couple of occasions and made abundantly clear Ahsoka is harboring
feelings for him which she does not act on but struggles to deal with.
Though the two never act on their feelings, they do have a good friendship.
Bonteri crucially gives Ahsoka insight into the other side of the war and lets her see
it is not as black and white as it once seemed since there are good people on the Separatists'
side.
Number 2: Bo-Katan Kryze It looks like there is far more to the Bo-Katan/Ahsoka
Tano story to see in canon, as indicated by Bo-Katan sending Din Djarin to find Ahsoka
in The Mandalorian.
It seems as though the two kept up contact after the events of the Siege of Mandalore.
The last time they were together, though, with Ahsoka leaving Mandalore in Bo-Katan's
good hands, was enough to put this relationship on this list, and these two badass women look
sure to make for more great content in the future.
Number 3: Yoda Despite the mistakes he may have made with
the rest of the Jedi High Council, Yoda remains one of the most likable Jedi in Star Wars,
and he had a good relationship with Padawan Tano before her trial.
Of course, that hurt their relationship.
But in their hologram conversation on Mandalore, Yoda still refers to her as Padawan.
In Rebels, he comes to her in the Jedi Temple and it is clear he does care for the former
Jedi, which is reciprocated by Ahsoka.
No matter how hurt she may have been, she still respected Jedi like Yoda.
Number 4: Plo Koon Before the bombing of the Jedi temple and
the fallout that occurred afterward Plo Koon and little 'Soka had one of the most underrated
Clone Wars friendships.
Plo brought Ahsoka to the Jedi Order, and he proved himself a great friend over the
years.
They had a unique greeting and Ahsoka refused to leave him behind when other Jedi told her
and Anakin to.
Their bond was great until the later parts of the show, that is.
Number 5: Obi Wan Kenobi Before the bombing of the Jedi temple and
the fallout that occurred afterward, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka have a good friendship, and incredible
respect for one another; Ahsoka revered Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan trusted her, as shown in his telling
her of Anakin's past.
It took a while, but in the end, it seems as though Obi-Wan accepted that the Jedi Council
was at least partially responsible for Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order and was sorry.
Nonetheless, Ahsoka's friendships with Yoda, with Plo Koon, and with Obi-Wan were all hurt
by the entire ordeal of the trial and their treatment of Anakin.
Number 6: The Crew of the Ghost After being a highlight and the main character
of The Clone Wars for, at that time, six seasons, Ahsoka returned to animation post-Clone Wars
cancellation in Rebels and became another standout character of that show.When debuting
at the end of the first season, she quickly formed a good bond with the Ghost crew.
She already had a rapport with Hera as Fulcrum, and in season 2, formed a close relationship
with Ezra and Kanan, saving them from the Inquisitorius, from Maul, and Vader, and helping
them on their journeys.
Now it looks like Ahsoka is on the hunt for Ezra, likely with Sabine, which will only
improve their friendship.
Number 7: R2-D2 R2-D2 shared a close bond with Ahsoka Tano.
Like Anakin, Ahsoka saw him as more than just a replaceable droid and would never want to
leave him behind.
Ahsoka and Artooie were even reunited in the Ahsoka novel, and shared an embrace, both
visibly happy to see one another.
It is a sweet, pure friendship that led to some great moments.
Number 8: Padme Amidala Like Lux Bonteri, Padmé Amidala was a crucial
part of Ahsoka's understanding of war and how it was not all black and white.
Outside of that, the two proved to have a really caring, wonderful friendship.Unlike
Jedi mentioned above, Padmé wholeheartedly believed in Ahsoka's innocence and fought
for it in the Republic trial, proving her friendship and admiration for Ahsoka.
The two unfortunately never saw each other again.
But, throughout that era, they formed a close bond, with Ahsoka even knowing, but keeping
secret, Padmé's relationship with Anakin.
Number 9: Rex Rex and Ahsoka have one of the most beautiful
friendships in Star Wars, as well as one of the most surprisingly emotional, first meeting
in The Clone Wars movie, and over the years, becoming extremely close.The two seemed to
go their separate ways after burying the clones in "Victory and Death."
Still, their emotional reunion in Rebels, Rex's reaction when he thought she was dead,
and then, of course, pretty much everything that happened through The Clone Wars showed
just how much the two cared for one another.
We can only hope the two share a screen together again soon.
Number 10: Anakin Skywalker Lastly, but certainly not least is Ahsoka’s
relationship with her master Anakin Skywalker.
The bond between Ahsoka and Anakin is unmatched, though.
These two have such an amazing brother-sister dynamic mostly because they go through so
much together, and teach each other so much.
It is a beautiful, heartbreaking friendship obviously ending with Anakin falling to the
dark side and becoming Darth Vader.
Throughout their relationships they expressed so much care for one another, for example
when Anakin supported Ahsoka's innocence; when Ahsoka spoke highly of him in Rebels,
and even in their duel on Malachor, when Ahsoka refused to leave him behind again.
It is a truly tragic ending to one of the best relationships in the Star Wars universe.
And there you have it!
