Ahsoka Tano/Relationships

The relationships of Ahsoka Tano.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
Anakin/Vader is Ahsoka's former mentor and good friend 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 Christophisis incident, he finally accepted Ahsoka as his apprentice and two quickly became good friends. Anakin 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 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 felt she 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. 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 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 the Sith threat she was facing. However, she still aided the Rebel fleet against Vader's, despite their past friendship.

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, Ahsoka having a deep respect for Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan believing Ahsoka had the right to know about Anakin's past. Despite their friendship, Obi-Wan never apparently gave her special treatment.

Nearing the end of the Clone Wars, like Anakin, Obi-Wan also held a great degree of trust in her, being one of the few people to correctly believe that Ahsoka had actually been framed; 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 trial in 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 was innocent the entire time.

Unfortunately, Ahsoka left the Jedi Order due to the fact that most the members Jedi Council 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 his friend leave, as it was possibly the last time Ahsoka saw Obi-Wan alive before he was killed by Darth Vader. However, he refused to acknowledge that the Jedi Council had 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 great degree of trust in her, being one of the few people to correctly believe that Ahsoka had actually been framed and he was relieved when she was proven innocent. He was 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.

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 most members of the Jedi Council, abandoned her when she was accused of treason, as he believed she would commit unspeakable crimes and only made a few half-hearted attempts to defend Ahsoka, showing a shameful amount of disloyalty towards the girl who had looked up to him her whole life.

Like many of the Jedi, Plo was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Chancellor Palpatine and during Barriss Ofee'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 called her by her nickname of "Little Soka".

Unfortunately, Ahsoka left the Jedi Order due to the fact that most members of the Jedi Council had refused to believe in her; she was deeply hurt and disappointed by the whole ordeal, and chose to leave the Jedi Order, believing that she couldn't trust any member of the Jedi council, not even the Jedi who had brought her to the Temple in the first place. After she left the Jedi 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 mistake, 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.

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

Unfortunately, nearing the end of the Clone Wars, Ahsoka lost complete trust and respect for Yoda, 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 Ofee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He was surprised that Ahsoka had been innocent the entire time.

Along with all members of the Jedi Council, Yoda personally invited her 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 surprised all members of the Jedi Council, 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, not just for refusing to stand by her, but also 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 question Ahsoka's loyalty and took responsibility for his failure, albeit secretly.

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

Ahsoka's trust and respect for Mace was broken forever when Mace, 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 stripped 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 banishment from the Jedi Order left Ahsoka heartbroken and feeling betrayed and abandoned by every member of the 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 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.

Barriss Offee
Barriss is Ahsoka's ex-close friend.

When they first met during the second battle of Genosis, 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.
