20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Throughout the Star Wars Rebels animated series set after the events of the Clone Wars but before the original trilogy, Ahsoka Tano can be seen using the codename 'Fulcrum' when aiding the likes of Hera Syndulla and her Rebel pals.

Said codename would then eventually be passed on to other Rebel spies and agents, with folks like defecting ISB Agent Kallus taking on the title, too.

But if you were listening closely early on in season seven's 'Old Friends Not Forgotten' episode, the unexpected origins of that specific codename were revealed.

It turns out that this was actually the name given to a subspace communications frequency used by Anakin Skywalker, with it being noted on the show that only a number of folks were aware of it, including freedom fighter Saw Gerrera, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Admiral Wullf Yularen, and you guessed it, Skywalker's Padawan Tano.

Tano would use that frequency to get in touch with her former Master as she requested help to capture Maul on Mandalore, with it then later being used as the inspiration for the Fulcrum agents fighting against the Empire.
