Ahsoka Tano (pronounced) is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She was introduced as the 14-year-old Togruta Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker in the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) before appearing in the subsequent animated television series (20082014; 2020); the sequel series Star Wars Rebels (20142018); in the live-action film (2019) as a voiceover cameo; and in the miniseries Tales of the Jedi (2022), voiced by Ashley Eckstein. In 2020, Ahsoka made her live-action debut in the second season of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, portrayed by Rosario Dawson. Dawson reprised the role in a 2022 episode of the spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett, and the 2023 series, Ahsoka.
Ahsoka was created by George Lucas and Dave Filoni.[2] The character was developed to illustrate how Anakin Skywalker develops from the brash, undisciplined Padawan apprentice in (2002) to the more reserved Jedi Knight in Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005).[3] Lucas, who had two daughters, also wanted the character to appeal to girls.[4] Early in development, Ahsoka's name was "Ashla".[5]
