Star Wars: 10 Things You Never Knew About Ahsoka Tano

10. As A Baby, She Was Almost Kidnapped By Jedi Impostors

Ahsoka was born on the planet Shili. Being an extremely force-sensitive child, she was discovered quickly by the Jedi. Master Plo Koon discovered the youngling Ahsoka when she was only three, and planned to take her back to the Jedi Temple.

However, before she could join the Jedi Order, Ahsoka had an encounter with an imposter Jedi. This person remained unidentified in canon and was only briefly mentioned in the Ahsoka novel. According to the Clone Wars producer, Dave Filoni, the imposter Jedi was planned to be a Zygerrian, a feline species.

The full story was never written, but Filoni revealed his planned tale at a Star Wars panel. Apparently, the Zygerrian, a female bounty hunter named Latrans, planned to kidnap Ahsoka as force-sensitive children were rare and highly sought after in the galaxy. Her plan was thwarted by Jedi Master Plo Koon when he arrived to retrieve Ahsoka.

Hopefully we'll see this story fully fleshed out in canon one day.
