Live from the Fan Stage at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, the hosts from Tarkin's Top Shelf (Becca Benjamin and Mark Sutter) join Ryder Waldron and E. Anne Convery in a discussion about Ahsoka Tano!
Ahsoka Tano has become a beloved Star Wars character. Her story has spanned The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, the Ahsoka novel by E.K. Johnston, comics, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and the upcoming Ahsoka series on Disney Plus. But why has she become such an inspirational fan favorite? Should she have walked away from the Jedi Order? And how did leaving the Jedi Order affect her future? What are some of the best Ahsoka moments and fan-favorite aspects of her character growth, and did she become the purest example of a Jedi only after leaving the Order?
