Star Wars: 10 Things You Never Knew About Ahsoka Tano
1. She Doesn’t Need A Lightsaber To Beat You
Yeah, Ahsoka carries two lightsabers, but she doesn't need either of them to beat your ass. Even for a Jedi, Ahsoka is a skilled fighter, and she specializes in hand-to-hand combat. There are several examples of this throughout the canon.
First up, we have Cad Bane. You remember him, he was the blue-skinned, cowboy-looking bounty hunter. Skilled enough to work for the likes of the Hutts, Bane was not someone you mess with. But, Ahsoka overpowered him when she was still a padawan.
Not impressive enough for you? Well, what about the time she single-handedly defeated a group of Mandalorian secret service agents? She also fended off several Mandalorian guards despite being handcuffed. The Mandalorians are born and bred warriors who once went to war with the freaking Jedi!
But, neither of those examples were force users, so where's the challenge, right? Well, she defeated the Sith inquisitor, the Sixth Brother, unarmed by overpowering his lightsaber through the Force and causing it to explode!
Later, Ahsoka handily defeated two other Inquisitors- the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister. While she did have her lightsabers, she used her mastery of the Force to shut off the Seventh Sister's lightsaber.
Now, if all that doesn't get you excited for the Return of Ahsoka Tano and her first live-action appearance- in the second season of The Mandolorian, well then…
What is wrong with you?!
