15 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching Star Wars: The Clone Wars

15. The Repeated Codenames

In Star Wars Rebels, Anakin's former padawan Ahsoka Tano is revealed to have not only survived the Jedi Purge, but joined the Rebel Alliance as one of its earliest members. In her new position, the former Jedi is known by the codename "Fulcrum" and is seen helping the Alliance in their fight against the Empire.

But this is not the first time the codename has been used in the franchise, as in season seven of The Clone Wars, Anakin and Obi-Wan are contacted using the name by Ahsoka. Before this, the alias was used by freedom fighter Saw Gerrera, in order to avoid Separatist interference.

This isn't the only clever alias the show drops, however. During his time undercover as a bounty hunter, Obi-Wan used the name "Ben" when contacting the Jedi Council about his mission, a nice little reference to the name he would later adopt when exiled on Tatooine.
