10 Mind-Blowing Twists In Star Wars: The Clone Wars
3. Ahsoka Leaves The Jedi Order
As mentioned, Ahsoka was awesome in every conceivable way. She was well-written, her development was subtle but compelling, and her relationships with the franchise's veteran stars was astoundingly well-orchestrated.
For five seasons, she stole the show and became very close with her soon-to-be doomed master, but toward the end of the fifth season everything began to fall apart.
Framed for murder and forced to run, Fugitive-style, to prove her innocence, Ahsoka was left stranded by the Jedi Council and disillusioned about her place in the world. After she was proven innocent (thanks to Anakin and, weirdly, Asajj Ventress), she made the heartbreaking decision to leave the Order and figure out who she was away from the war.
It's a devastating development, and sets up her exhilarating return in the final season, where she leads the Siege of Mandalore and faces off with an all-powerful Maul. It's also another brutal heartbreak that certainly contributed to Anakin's rising darkness.
