Star Wars Rebels: 9 Reasons You Need To Be Watching
3. Ahsoka
Making her debut in The Clone Wars, Ahsoka soon became one of the main highlights of the show. A female Togruta, Ahsoka was taken in by the Jedi Order at a young age. Under the tutelage of Plo Koon and Anakin Skywalker much later, Ahsoka’s path took a surprising turn. Falsely accused of bombing the Jedi Temple, Ahsoka soon lost her faith in the Order, which resulted in her departure.
Voiced by Ashley Eckstein, Ahsoka grew into a more mature and confident warrior who was adept at using a lightsaber. She went into hiding after the events of The Clone Wars, assisting the rebels in secret whenever she could. She's a much-loved character, so her return to Rebels was met with joy.
Her storyline and connection with Anakin Skywalker are one of the most interesting plot points in Rebels, which recently culminated in an epic confrontation during the second season finale. The finale featuring Vader and Ahsoka is one of the show's standout moments, due to its emotional weight. It was such a huge hit with fans that one YouTube video showcasing their fight has amassed almost 2 million views.
She’s one of the strongest characters in Rebels and she’s received some of the best development in the Star Wars universe. Ahsoka has a great look, a unique history and sweet lightsaber skills.
