Ahsoka Tano

One day we’ll find out how these characters met.Screenshot: Disney+Arguably the most important meeting in Star Wars history has taken place, we just haven’t seen it. After The Book of Boba Fett, we now know that Ahsoka Tano and Luke Skywalker were acquaintances in the time between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

Famously debuting as Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the character slowly came into her own over the course of the show’s eventual seven-season run, serving as its ostensible protagonist. After being a recurring character in sister series Rebels, and again voiced by her original actor Ashley Eckstein, she made the jump over to live action with The Mandalorian’s second season.
