Star Wars: 10 Most Powerful Female Characters

10. Ahsoka Tano

The introduction of Ahsoka Tano as Anakin Skywalker's apprentice in the animated 'Clone Wars' film and subsequent TV series raised a few eyebrows amongst fans as Skywalker's status as a Jedi Knight during the conflict wouldn't have canonically seen him being permitted to take a Padawan.

However, the concerns soon dissipated as Ahsoka became an integral part of the Clone Wars series and almost humanised the previously awkward, wooden Anakin portrayed by Hayden Christensen in the main film series.

A member of the Jedi Order from the age of 3, having been discovered by Master Plo Koon, Ahsoka displayed an incredible grasp of the Force throughout the Clone Wars series and her unique lightsaber combat stance made for some awesome set pieces throughout.

The character is still present within the franchise, despite leaving the Jedi Order prior to the events of Revenge of the Sith, and was a magnificent addition to the Rebels TV series - she even survived a duel with Darth Vader and is tipped to appear in the second series of The Mandalorian as a live action character for the first time.

The Force is strong with this one, for certain.
