One of the biggest questions the Ahsoka series can answer is what category Ahsoka Tano falls under as a Force-user. The Force has been a central aspect of Star Wars since its inception. In the beginning, it seemed as if Force-users were either Jedi who exercised the light side, or Sith who leaned into the dark. While Star Wars books have often covered stories beyond just Jedi and Sith, only recently has the franchise begun exploring alternate paths on-screen. In other words, the “good guy” Force-users in Star Wars are no longer bound to just being Jedi.
When Ashley Eckstein’s Ahsoka made her canon debut in The Clone Wars film, it was obvious that she had aspirations of becoming a Jedi Knight. Ahsoka was trained by several Jedi after being brought to the Temple by Plo Koon. Upon being assigned to Anakin Skywalker as a Padawan learner, she strived to prove herself as a strong and capable warrior throughout The Clone Wars. Like her master, her headstrong nature often got her in trouble, yet she still excelled and deepened her knowledge of the Force through each challenging encounter she emerged from.
