Ahsoka Tano/Relationships

The relationships of Ahsoka Tano from the Star Wars universe.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
Anakin/Vader is Ahsoka's good friend and former mentor turned enemy.

Ahsoka initially had a rocky relationship with Anakin, due to her snarky attitude, she became annoyed when Anakin told Rex that he had no intention to train her, in retaliation she called him "Skyguy".

After the battle of Christophisis, Anakin finally accepted Ahsoka as his apprentice and two quickly became good friends. He would not give up on saving Ahsoka after she got caught in an explosion of a droid foundry that she destroyed with a tank, having no other method. Greatly relieved that Ahsoka was still alive, he told her that he hadn't doubted her, after she told him that she knew he would save her.

When Obi-Wan told him it was Anakin who had saved the day, Ahsoka "felt a rush of pride" and boasted that she was his apprentice. That pride was evident in his trust in her to command in his stead, such as during the Battle of Ryloth. Ahsoka’s presence seemed to soften Anakin's reckless and impulsive nature. Similar to Anakin's relationship with Obi-Wan, she occasionally disobeyed him, and he did not like it when Ahsoka disobeyed him.

Nearing the end of the Clone Wars, Anakin also held a great degree of trust in her, being one of the few people to correctly believe that Ahsoka had actually been framed. However, he also realized that he could not help her directly as it would have made her seem even more guilty than she was already suspected to be by nearly everyone else. He also managed to track down the actual guilty party, Barriss Offee, and expose her after defeating her in a lightsaber duel. Although Ahsoka was grateful for Anakin's trust in her, she ultimately could not stay as she longer trusted the Jedi Council because they had turned their backs on her when she needed them the most. Ahsoka was very sad to leave her friend and former mentor, behind, as well leaving the only life she ever knew. The last time Ahsoka saw Anakin was before he was sent to rescue Chancellor Palpatine from Count Dooku and General Grievous; unknown to either of them, this would be the last time they would see each other as friends, before Anakin finally fell to the Dark side.

Ahsoka believed for years that Anakin was killed in the Great Jedi Purge, unaware at the time, that he is in fact the ruthless Sith Lord Darth Vader. When she discovered the truth, she was left heartbroken and in shock that her former mentor was worse than dead, but in fact the Sith threat she was facing. However, she still aided the Rebel fleet against Vader's, despite their past friendship.

In "Shroud of Darkness", after she enters the Lothal Jedi Temple, Ahsoka has a vision of Anakin, who torments Ahsoka, expressing a twisted hatred of her for leaving him. The vision of Anakin is a manifestation of her guilt, as Ahsoka secretly feels guilt and remorse for leaving the Jedi Order; she believes if she had not left she could have prevented Anakin from becoming Vader in the first place.

Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan was Ahsoka's good friend.

Ahsoka first met Obi-Wan during the Battle of Christophsis, when she was assigned to Anakin Skywalker as his apprentice, throughout the Clone Wars the two became good friends. They had a healthy relationship, trusting each other and having each other's backs, Ahsoka having a deep respect for Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan believing Ahsoka had the right to know about Anakin's past.

Nearing the end of the Clone Wars, like Anakin, Obi-Wan also held a high degree of trust in her, being one of the few people that were doubtful of her being guilty of bombing the Jedi Temple; he was the only member of the Jedi Council who was against the decision to strip her of her status as a Jedi Padawan, so she could be turned over to a military court for her so-called treason.

Like many of the Jedi, Obi-Wan was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Chancellor Palpatine and during Barriss Offee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He did not seem surprised that Ahsoka had been innocent the entire time.

Unfortunately, Ahsoka refused to rejoin the Jedi Order due to the fact that most members of the Order had refused to believe in her. After she left the Jedi Temple, Anakin ran after her; Obi-Wan started to follow before Plo Koon placed a hand on his shoulder, silently advising him not to, as Plo knew there was nothing they could do about it. Obi-Wan was very sad to see Ahsoka leave, as it was probably the last time they saw each other before Obi-Wan was killed by Darth Vader. However, he refused to acknowledge that the Jedi Council had created the conditions that caused Ahsoka to leave, as he later insisted to Anakin that the Council had simply made a mistake and that it was really Ahsoka who had abandoned them.

Rex
Rex is Ahsoka's good friend.

Ahsoka first met Obi-Wan during the Battle of Christophsis, when she was assigned to Anakin Skywalker as his apprentice, throughout the Clone Wars the two became good friends.

Initially, Ahsoka believed that because she was a Jedi and he was a captain, that she outranked him, but Rex told her that experience outranks everything; she soon developed a high level of respect for him, as the captain became somewhat of another mentor to Ahsoka, particularly in warfare. The two often saved each other's lives during the Clone Wars and shared a friendly bond similar to the bond Ahsoka shared with Anakin, but not quite as close.

Nearing the end of the Clone Wars, like Anakin, Rex also held a high degree of trust in her, being one of the few people that were doubtful of her being guilty of committing murder and bombing the Jedi Temple. He was relieved when she was proven innocent, and shocked when she refused to rejoin the Jedi Order.

When meeting the Ghost crew, Rex told them that any friend of Ahsoka's is a friend of his, showing that they still have a close friendship sixteen years after her departure from the Jedi Order and renouncing her command position in the Grand Army of the Republic.

Hera Syndulla
Hera was the only member of the Ghost Crew who communicated with Ahsoka, known to the Twi'lek as "Fulcrum" until the events following Fire Across the Galaxy. Hera is respectful of Ahsoka, and trusts her completely and respected the necessity of Ahsoka keeping her identity secret, that Hera wouldn't allow Sabine to know more, partly to protect the Rebel Network, and Hera (albeit reluctantly) heeded Ahsoka's warning of giving up on Kanan and going into hiding (at least at first). After Ahsoka found out Vader is her former master and fainted in Kanan's arms, Hera was shown that she was concerned for her safety while still trying to pilot the Ghost.

Sabine Wren
Sabine didn't know much about Ahsoka since the latter girl went by her codename "Fulcrum". Sabine tried so hard to find out who "Fulcrum" was but Hera told her that she didn't need to know which makes Sabine feel distrusted. However, Sabine grew to respect the former Jedi's wisdom and Ahsoka tasked her with many handy work, such as re-activating a Tactical Droid's head to help Ezra, Kanan and Zeb find an old friend of Ahsoka's who can supply the rebel fleet with a list of useful bases.

Ezra Bridger
Before Ahsoka and Ezra met, Ezra only knew Ahsoka by the name "Fulcrum". After Kanan was captured by the Empire Ahsoka told Hera too take her crew into hiding in order to protect Ezra. Ahsoka later saved Ezra and the rest of the Ghost Crew from the Empire on Mustafar. After receiving a message from Maketh Tua that she needed help, Ahsoka was seen smiling at Ezra when he stepped upped and said they need too help Tua, and Ahsoka agreed with Ezra.

Ahsoka seems to see a bit of herself in Ezra.

Ezra seems to have great faith and confidence in Ahsoka, readily trusting Rex on her behalf and correctly believing she could take care of herself when she fought two Inquisitors at once.

Kanan Jarrus
Ahsoka met Kanan when she rescued the Ghost Crew from the Empire on Mustafar. It is currently unknown if Ahsoka and Kanan knew each other during the Clone Wars. During Vader's raid on the Rebel fleet, Ahsoka asked Kanan too help her find out who was in the TIE Fighter, where Kanan asked how he could help, which Ahsoka responded with "Just remember your training". After Ahsoka found out that Vader's her former master, she fainted in Kanan's arms with him deeply concerned for her safety.

In Future of the Force, Kanan asked about Ahsoka when she was fighting the Inquisitors, shown that he's worried about her and was the first one to suggest that they couldn't leave her.

Plo Koon
Plo was Ahsoka's ex-close friend.

Plo was the very Jedi that found and brought Ahsoka to the Jedi Temple, affectionately nicknaming her "Little Soka", Ahsoka had a very close bond with Plo and once mentioned that he was her oldest friend; because of their bond, Ahsoka was able to sense his presence after his fleet was destroyed by the Malevolence.

Unfortunately, nearing the end of the Clone Wars, despite their special bond, Ahsoka's friendship with Plo ended when he, along with the rest of the Jedi Council, abandoned her when she was accused of treason, making only a few half-hearted attempts to defend her and showing a shameful amount of disloyalty towards the girl who had looked up to him her whole life.

Like all members of the Jedi council, Plo was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Chancellor Palpatine and during Barriss Offee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He was surprised that Ahsoka had been innocent the entire time.

Plo was the only member of the Jedi Council who actually apologized to Ahsoka after she was proved to be innocent; while the others took no responsibility for their failure, Plo humbly admitted they had been wrong to accuse Ahsoka and even called her by her nickname of "Little Soka".

Unfortunately, Ahsoka refused to rejoin the Jedi Order due to the fact that most members of the Order had refused to believe in her; she was deeply hurt and disappointed by the whole ordeal, and chose to leave the Jedi Order, believing she couldn't trust any member of the Jedi Council, not even the Jedi who had brought her to the Jedi Temple in the first place. After she left the Temple, Plo was very sad to see his former friend leave, but did not attempt to go after her. It was probably the last time Ahsoka saw Plo alive before he was killed during the execution of Order 66.

Although he acknowledged that the Jedi Council had been wrong to accuse Ahsoka and took responsibility for his failure, Plo's devotion to his own beliefs in justice and right from wrong ultimately blinded him to the fact that he knew Ahsoka better than any other Jedi, apart from Anakin Skywalker, and that she would never murder someone in cold blood or commit the crimes she was being accused of.

Yoda
Like other Jedi, Ahsoka deeply respected Yoda and would usually go to him for guidance when Anakin or Obi-Wan were not around. Yoda was very fond of Ahsoka; in fact, he was the very Jedi who made her Anakin's apprentice.

Unfortunately, nearing the end of the Clone Wars, Ahsoka's trust and respect for Yoda was severely shaken when he, along with the rest of the Jedi Council, abandoned her when she was accused of treason, as he believed she would commit unspeakable crimes.

Like many of the Jedi, Yoda was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Chancellor Palpatine and during Barriss Offee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He was surprised that Ahsoka had been innocent the entire time.

Along with the rest of the Jedi Council, Yoda personally invited Ahsoka to rejoin the Jedi Order, even offering to promote her to the rank of Jedi Knight, but instead of admitting his mistake, he claimed that Ahsoka's traumatic experience had been nothing more then a test given to her by the Force. Feeling betrayed because Yoda never believed in her and further disappointed by his refusal to take responsibility for his actions, Ahsoka refused reinstatement and left the Jedi Order, a decision that shocked and surprised all members of the Order, including Yoda.

After she left the Jedi Temple, Yoda was very sad to see Ahsoka leave, but did not attempt to go after her. It was probably the last time Ahsoka saw Yoda alive before he died from his old age.

Ahsoka's departure haunted Yoda for a long time; he felt extremely guilty and remorseful, partly for refusing to stand by her and partly for placing her on the path that led to her departure from the Jedi Order. Only then did he acknowledge that the Jedi Council had been wrong to accuse Ahsoka and took responsibility for his failure, albeit secretly.

Mace Windu
Ahsoka held Mace in high esteem, but he held her in low esteem because of her young age.

Ahsoka's trust and respect for Mace was shattered when he, along with the rest of the Jedi Council, abandoned her when she was accused of treason. During the Judgement meeting, Mace repeatedly accused Ahsoka of lying to the Jedi Council and coldly closed the matter by stripping her of her status as a Jedi. Like Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka soon realized the meeting was just a formality to disguise how the Council was casting her out to suit the political interests of the Republic. Her expulsion from the Jedi Order left Ahsoka heartbroken and feeling deeply betrayed by every member of the Jedi Council, especially Mace.

When it was confirmed Barriss Offee was the true culprit, Mace was surprised that Ahsoka was innocent and shocked by Barriss's scathing speech against the Jedi. Instead of taking responsibility for his mistake and the Jedi Council's failure, Mace arrogantly stated that Ahsoka's traumatic experience had been nothing more than a great trial that proved she was worthy of becoming a Jedi Knight. Ahsoka, who was still hurt by the Council's abandonment of her, was deeply disappointed and disgusted by his shamelessness and refused the offer to return to the Jedi Order as a Jedi Knight, feeling she could no longer trust any member of the Council. It was probably the last time Ahsoka saw Mace alive before he was killed by Palpatine.

Ki-Adi-Mundi
Ahsoka served alongside Ki-Adi during the second battle of Geonosis. Though Ki-Adi initially appeared to have a low opinion of Ahsoka, he quickly developed a new level of respect for her, especially after she and Barriss destroyed the Droid Factory. Ahsoka highly respected Ki-Adi.

However, when Ahsoka was accused of treason, Ki-Adi, like the rest of the Jedi Council, abandoned her. He made no attempt whatsoever to defend her and alongside Mace Windu, repeatedly accused her of lying to the Jedi Order, and coldly stripped her of her status as a Jedi.

Like many of the Jedi, Ki-Adi was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Chancellor Palpatine and during Barriss Offee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He was surprised that Ahsoka had been innocent the entire time.

After Ahsoka was proven innocent, Ki-Adi, like most members of the Jedi Council, took no responsibility for his actions and instead claimed that Ahsoka's experience had been nothing more than a test given to her by the Force that proved she was worthy of becoming a Jedi Knight. Heartbroken by the Council's refusal to stand by her and disgusted by their shamelessness, Ahsoka refused to rejoin the Jedi Order and left, a decision that surprised all members of the Council, including Ki-Adi.

Barriss Offee
Barriss was Ahsoka's ex-close friend turned enemy.

When they first met during the second battle of Geonosis, Ahsoka and Barriss quickly became close friends and helped each other on numerous occasions. Their friendship came to an end after Barriss turned against the Jedi Order and framed Ahsoka for all her crimes.

Wilhuff Tarkin
Ahsoka first met Tarkin during the mission to rescue him and Jedi Master Even Piell from the Citadel. Unlike her then-mentor Anakin Skywalker, she didn't like Tarkin at all for his arrogance and rude comments, as well as his disdain for the Jedi Order, while he didn't like her for her starry-eyed view of life. Despite her dislike for him Ahsoka saved him from being killed by the Citadel Prison warden.

Ahsoka's dislike for Tarkin was intensified when the latter prosecuted Ahsoka when she was accused of treason. Tarkin, like the Jedi Council, refused to believe in her innocence and the rising body count only convinced him that Ahsoka was guilty even when Padme pointed out that he had no real proof and that all the evidence that was present proved otherwise. After Ahsoka was proved to be innocent, Tarkin didn't apologize to her and the two have been enemies ever since because after the birth of the Galactic Empire, Ahsoka helped Bail Organa establish the Rebel Network and Tarkin joined the ranks of the newly born Imperialists and became the Imperial who founded Imperial Doctrone. Ironically, Tarkin's prosecution of her and demands for her expulsion from the Jedi Order saved her life, as she was not present during the Execution of Order 66.

Darth Maul
Ahsoka and Maul are mortal enemies.
