Ahsoka Tano is a character in the Star Wars franchise. Introduced as the Padawan apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, she is a protagonist of the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the subsequent television series. Ahsoka reappears in Star Wars Rebels, where she uses the codename Fulcrum, and as a voiceover cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Ashley Eckstein voices Ahsoka in these appearances. Ahsoka is also the main character of the eponymous novel Star Wars: Ahsoka, which has Eckstein narrating the audiobook version. Ahsoka will reportedly be featured in the second season of The Mandalorian, portrayed by Rosario Dawson.
Although initially disliked by both fans and critics, Ahsoka developed into a well-rounded, complex character who received positive reactions from both groups. Serving as a foil for Anakin Skywalker, she has been highlighted as a strong female character of the franchise.
