Ahsoka Tano's secret Star Wars codename has a tragic hidden meaning connected to Anakin Skywalker. Having once been Skywalker's apprentice as a Padawan, Ahsoka fought by Anakin's side during the Clone Wars until she chose to leave the Jedi Order. However, her actions during the Dark Times and the alias she assumed prove she still sought to honor her old master.
After Ahsoka left the Jedi Order and survived the Jedi Purge, Tano became an integral figure who helped small rebel cells continue to fight the Empire during the Dark Times. Eventually, these cells would come together to form the Rebel Alliance. Using the codename "Fulcrum", the moniker carries origins to Anakin Skywalker in more ways than one. Here's why "Fulcrum" is such an important name in Star Wars (and why it's secretly so tragic).
