so I can continue making them for you.
Number 1: She faced off against Darth Maul 2x
The first time was during the Siege of Mandalore when Maul tried to taunt Ahsoka.
Ahsoka and Maul had a brief duel, before her and her allies ended up baiting him into a
trap, capturing him in a ray shield.
While she could have killed him, she opted to save her friend Rex instead.
The second time was in Rebels, when Maul and Ahsoka locked lightsabers just before she
was reunited with her former master, the now evil Anakin.
Number 2: She faked her own death to survive Order 66
After witnessing the aftermath of Order 66 Ahsoka and her friend Rex decided to fake
their own deaths in hopes that it would throw the Empire off their trail.
Together, they created a fake grave for Rex, with an inscription saying he killed Ahsoka
in battle.
To make it more believable, Ahsoka also left her lightsabers around the grave site.
Number 3: Her headdress signifies an accomplishment from her past
The headdress she wear over her montrals is the mark of a great accomplishment.
It could only be worn by someone who had slain the dangerous predator, the akul.
The triangular pieces are made from the teeth of this creature, which supposedly wreaks
havoc in the Togruta homeworld.
When exactly she did this is unknown, but it would have been sometime during her youth.
Number 4: There is a good chance she new about the relationship between Anakin and Padme
“You know, you and Anakin make a good team.”
“Thanks.
I could say the same about the two of you.”
“Thank you Ahsoka.”
Ahsoka spent a lot of time with Anakin and Padme, both separately and together.
Therefore there is a good chance that she was aware of the relationship between the
two.
This becomes evident in the Clone Wars episode “The Wrong Jedi” when Anakin tries to
convince Ahsoka to stay, telling her, “I understand.
More than you realize, I understand wanting to walk away from the Order,” to which she
replies, “I know.”
Number 5: She can deactivate lightsabers using the Force
This is a skill reserved for people who are particularly strong with the Force.
Ahsoka shows this skill during a duel in Rebels, when she uses the Force to deactivate the
lightsaber of the Seventh Sister.
Other examples of individuals capable of this skill are Yoda, who deactivates Asajj Ventress’
lightsabers in the first episode of The Clone Wars, and The Son, who deactivates the Jedi’s
lightsabers in The Clone Wars Mortis arc.
Number 6: She was originally found by Plo Koon
Jedi Master Plo Koon found Ahsoka on the Togruta homeworld while he was on a mission.
Sensing that the then three-year old Togruta was Force sensitive, he brought her back to
the Jedi Temple where she trained as a youngling.
When she turned 14, she was granted the rank of a Padawan and became the apprentice to
Anakin Skywalker.
Although Plo Koon was not her Master, the two still maintained a special bond.
“It is good to see you safe, Little ‘Shoka.”
Number 7: She fought alongside Chewie
She met Chewbacca during the Second Battle of Felucia in the Clone Wars, when she found
him trapped by Trandoshan slavers.
“Chewbacca says he can build a transmitter from the wreckage on the beach.”
She, Anakin, Plo Koon, and their clone troopers were dispatched to fight Separatists on Felucia,
but running against the Trandoshans lead Ahsoka to the Wookiee.
And there you have it!
