Unbelievably, when Ahsoka Tano was introduced in the Star Wars universe and to the ever so accepting fandom, she was immensely unpopular, and the poor quality of The Clone Wars movie did nothing to aid that. However, since then, Ahsoka has grown into one of the greatest characters in the whole franchise, and one of the most popular.
Between The Clone Wars and Rebels, Ahsoka is consistently phenomenal, and truly embodies what it is to be a Jedi, without being a Jedi. She is an inspirational character with a plethora of great quotes, and we look at the ten best and most empowering here.
10 "You Don't Have To Carry A Sword To Be Powerful. Some Leaders' Strength Is Inspiring Others."
In the arc that followed the civil war on Mon Cala in season four of The Clone Wars, the leader of the planet, Lee-Char, is very inexperienced as a ruler and a warrior.
In typical Ahsoka fashion, she reassures Lee-Char that being a leader, and being a fighter is not just about being a skilled warrior, but also by inspiring your people. Inspiration at its finest from Ahsoka.
9 "You Don't Have To Look Tough To Be Tough."
In the same vein, in the episode "Bounty Hunters," Ahsoka gives some inspirational advice to Seripas, a bounty hunter after he got revealed to be a small alien, not a huge intimidating droid like figure.
Ahsoka is a prime example that looks are not everything. She does not appear too intimidating, but she could beat 99% of the Galaxy in combat.
8 "If There's One Thing I've Learned From You, Master, It's That Following Direct Orders Isn't Always The Best Way To Solve A Problem."
In the great Citadel arc, Ahsoka comes along on the mission, despite specific instructions not too, very Anakin like.
When Anakin gets angry with Ahsoka, she decides to throw his teachings back at him, and in the end, Ahsoka got shown to be correct in coming along as she was crucial to the survival of the group.
7 "In My Experience, When You Think You Understand The Force, You Realize Just How Little You Know."
The "World Between Worlds" was one of the most bizarre yet genius and brilliant episodes of Rebels, and parts of Star Wars in general and saw the return of Ahsoka, and confirmation that she lives.
Her admission of the Force being infinitely mysterious no matter how much you know about it shows her wisdom, and how far she has come in her understanding of it, appreciating its intricacies.
6 "I Did Realize Something. The Politics Of War Are Not As Black And White As I Once Thought They Were."
Ahsoka, alongside Anakin, does not conform to the traditions of the Jedi Order in the same way as everybody else. If she is presented with information telling her that something is different from what she believes, then she will not let her pride get in the way and be stubborn like other Jedi (cough, Mace Windu, cough).
When she is shown that there are real, good people on both sides of the war, she believes it. She understands that, while people are getting manipulated or lied too, they are real people with beliefs.
5 "The Republic Couldn't Have Asked For Better Soldiers, Nor I A Better Friend."
There is a somber, eery atmosphere in the episode "Shattered" as fans foresee Order 66 coming, and before that, Ahsoka and Rex have a moment that is very touching.
Ahsoka and Anakin, more than anyone, than perhaps Plo Koon or Obi-Wan has a close relationship with the clones, and Ahsoka and Rex have one of the best friendships in Star Wars. This moment of appreciation from Ahsoka is very welcome.
4 "You're A Good Soldier Rex. So Is Every One Of Those Men Down There. They May Be Willing To Die, But I Am Not Going To Be The One Who Kills Them."
In the finale, Jesse and the rest of the clones on the cruiser wait for Ahsoka and Rex, ready to kill them both. But, like a true Jedi, yet unlike the other Jedi during Order 66, Ahsoka refuses to kill them.
She gets Rex to set his blasters to stun, and never cuts any with her saber, knocking them out with the Force instead. When Rex pleads with her, in tears, that his brothers will kill them, Ahsoka still remains calm, refusing to kill the clones she loves, knowing they are not themselves. A true testament to Ahsoka's personality.
3 "Maybe, But I Have To Sort This Out On My Own, Without The Council, And Without You."
Ahsoka choosing to leave the Jedi Order was both heartbreaking and an unbelievably strong move from Ahsoka. Seeing her leave Anakin behind, with Anakin being the only one to be on her side during her trial, was truly devastating.
Ahsoka tells Anakin she must go her own way and carve her path outside of the Jedi Order. It truly is empowering by Ahsoka, knowing that she needs to stick with her beliefs and what she has experienced, and go into a new world, and a new chapter in her life, even if it is the hard thing to do.
2 "Then I Will Avenge His Death."
The relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka is unlike any other master/apprentice relationship, with such love and closeness between them and a key attribute missing from other Jedi, emotion.
When they meet in Rebels when neither are Jedi and are no longer master and apprentice, it is one of the greatest moments in all of Star Wars, and Ahsoka's care for Anakin shines through with "Then I will avenge his death."
1 "I Am No Jedi."
Of course, that is not the greatest quote from their iconic exchange in "Twilight of the Apprentice" as directly after this Vader less her know vengeance is not the Jedi way, the famous reply then comes "I am no Jedi."
It is truly a chilling moment, with Ahsoka pulling out the white lightsabers and the battle about to take place. It truly encapsulates Ahsoka's journey. She has no interest in being a Jedi, she understands their flaws, and is not where she belongs, she belongs on her own path, and that is very much a good thing.
