Ahsoka Tano has become a beloved Star Wars character as her story has spanned The Clone Wars, Rebels, the Ahsoka novel, comics, The Mandalorian, and the Ahsoka series.

We will also discuss our favorite Ahsoka moments, our favorite aspects of her character growth, and did she become the purest example of a Jedi only after leaving the Order?
This is a live recording so the audio is not perfect.
