- In this video, we're unveiling the Ahsoka Series, your essential guide to the Star Wars saga's most intriguing character!
From her chilling origins to her defining moments in the Clone Wars and Rebels, Ahsoka has been a central figure in the Star Wars saga for more than a decade. In this video, we'll give you a brief timeline of her life, as well as an in-depth look at her character and the fascinating backstory behind the Ahsoka Series. So make sure to check it out! #ahsoka #ahsokatano - Розваги
The story between Ahsoka and Anakin is heartwrenching. I was like everyone else, not too keen on her at the start, but when she left the order I felt my heart drop out of my chest. I just thought as I went through TCW, "How are they gonna work in Ahsoka being awol in RotS?" I never imagined it would hurt like that. Just knowing there were even more people hurt by the end of Anakin Skywalker was brilliant. Even in Rebels she was fantastic.
Ok my rant is over. I will be in my corner crying if anyone needs me.
I must be the only person who liked Ahsoka day 1. I saw The Clone Wars movie in theatres and instantly liked the energetic little girl. However when it came time for her to leave the order I was so happy. I remember cheering when this scene stealer finally got kicked out of the show. She went from being a great and fun side character, to an unbelievably forced and annoying main that stole scenes and moments and development away from everyone else. I went from liking her to loathing her. I was glad she got kicked out, but I was unironically hoping for the show to end with Anakin killing her in Order 66. Would have loved to see Anakin kill Ashoka at the end of the show, would have been pure kino. And I'd have been siding with Anakin the entire fight.
@@123mandalore777 Uhh based department? Yeah get over here guys.
I get your viewpoint, but she is Filoni's OC Donut Steel waifu, so how could she have gotten anything less? I still very much love how things turned out, but I definitely agree that she's got the Poochy effect (I think that's what it was, Homer's cartoon character that he tried pushing too hard) and was around too much.
But, if I may, she is orange. All over.
I really want a alternative univer (like What If) that shows what could have happened if she didn't leave the order. I don't think Anakin would have joined Palpatine if she was still with him
@@jessicawinchester158 Why is it so hard for Ahsoka fans to accept that she's not important for the overall story? Anakin turned to the dark side for Padme. Anakin cares about Padme so much more than Ahsoka. Padme beats out Ahsoka every single time in Anakin's mind and he'd still have turned to save her. Had Ahsoka been there and tried to prevent him turning, Anakin would have just killed Ahsoka on the path to saving Padme.
@@123mandalore777 she is important because she helps to show how passionate he was about the people close to him. However, I believe her storyline was just as important because she has a great story!
Excellent summary of Ashoka and the Clone Wars and how it plays into the new show. Thanks for putting this together.
Those final Clone wars episodes were utterly amazing. Filoni does a great job at showing how the inhibitor chips fully worked and ultimately how the Clones were very much victims as well. It's hard to watch those final episodes and not get choked up
The final few eps of Clone Wars were so utterly bad it was like the Last Jedi all over again. I guess one takeaway though is if you indeed polish a turd up enough, midwits will enjoy it. I mean that's all Filoni did with Clone Wars, polish turds. He just tried to come up with the stupidest most offensively bad ideas he could come up with, then tried to see if he could dramatize them and pull of the execution of these garbage ideas well enough to get away with it. Seems to have worked. Filoni is a highly competent but very evil corporate creative who absolutely mogs Kathleen Kennedy in terms of creative damage he's done to Star Wars.
They brought us back in and he knew what we needed Vs wanted. The levels filoni develops are George on steroids.
@@Djpiglatin187 Yeah the fans really needed to see Darth Maul brought back to control Mandalore again just so he can lose it pathetically again. It was really necessary and just just another character thrown under the bus to give Ahsoka a moment. Season 7 was so trash, I don't even consider it canon.
TCW was unwatchable childish mush. Filoni is a below average animator with zero writing skills. His track record is appalling; his exposition/action scene/exposition/action scene/failed-attempt-at-emotion stench was all over the disastrous S3 of the Mandalorian
@@sarl2121Lol, ok.
I always knew there was something more to that bird guy sticking around Ahsoka. Thanks for reminding me that the light side daughter transferred her essence to Ahsoka!
Later on in Rebels when they were rescuing what they thought was the last of Zebs race, the old woman referred to the light side as the ashla.
Oh yes I forgot about that! Great catch 👊🏼
Ashla - Bendu - Bogan
daim I didnt catch that haha
Ashla I read is what George Lucas’s original name for the force. And then later it was also tossed around for Ahsoka’s name before they picked Ahsoka. So I always thought that was cool how that was her fake name when in hiding. And makes me think of her connection with the light side of the force is stronger? Idk that’s just my head canon. Plus the fact she was saved with the life force of ‘the daughter’, who’s like the embodiment of the light side of the force.
I screamed. I over react a lot. But that was a cool little thing i knew. 😂😂
This is EXACTLY what I needed before the Ahsoka series! Well done and thank you!
Her lightsabers weren’t just “lightly modified”. Anakin replaced her kyber crystals with the same crystals as his own, an, if not the, ultimate sign of respect. The symbology was huge!
I wanna see an episode of her on how she made her lightsaber before she showed up in mando
@@apollobread4457 The hardest thing to get would be the crystals, and she got the red ones and purified them so they are white... After all Nathan Bridger made his lightsaber a gun to.
Symbolism * - not symbology; which is the study of symbols lol
@@jonathanbair523Nathan??? You mean Ezra?
I remember when Ahsoka irritated me…. And now I love her… even have her and Darth Maul lego figs on my keychain. She really did come through as such the heart and intelligence of the SWU. Watching her grow and change has been so much fun. Especially the last season of CW and into Rebels. She’s pretty kick ass. ❤
I agree! I wasn’t a fan at first, but now one of my absolute favorite characters!
Hey snips was always cool 😎
100% AGREE!!! Although... I haven't watched Rebels yet... but grew to "sorta" like her at end of Clone Wars
@@lauran.9427Rebels is kid favorite but it's still worth watching to see the character development of Kannan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger.
She was the only Jedi that was not flawed or full of shit. Yoda was an arrogant prick with Anakin. Anakin was angry and impetuous, Mace was a smug jack off. etc.... Ashoka was the heart and conscience of the order. She called them out- even moreso than Anakin. She called them out and said to shove it when it became political gamesmanship.
The scene where Ahsoka leaves the jedi order makes me cry every time i watch it. Its a really fleshed out relationship between her and Anakin.
Not many people have read the Ashoka stand alone book, I highly recommend it, it bridges some lost time between her leaving the Jedi and when she reappears as Fulcrum.
Read it way back when Rebels was still airing and now I'm rereading it. I think there is a little incongruence with what they did in Tales of the Jedi but not in a way that breaks things for me.
I thought that empire commander was the Fulcrum. Agent Gallius or whatever u spell his name
Anyone who recommends anything Disney created doesn’t understand Star Wars
@@nat1baby oh geeze .... sorry grand knowing all star wars superior .... Im gonna guess you weren't even born when star wars came out
@@nat1babyonly SITH deal in absolutes
As an OG star wars fan I only recently saw the ahsoka vs maul duel which is definitely in the top 3 duels in the entire franchise.
Agreed. It’s epic for sure!
It's probably the worst and most cringe moment in Star Wars outside the sequel trilogy.
@@RainyDayAussiesYT Yeah I really enjoyed seeing Maul fail for the millionth time and achieve absolutely nothing yet again. It really was a good idea to revive the character from death so he could do absolutely nothing of note and get defeated over and over and over again, it totally didn't completely ruin the character at all.
@@123mandalore777 I see what your saying
@@123mandalore777what goes up must come down. He achieved plenty in mandalore
This is by far the BEST timeline video of Ahsoka! Thanks for producing it !
Glad you liked it!
Sad to say Ahsoka is the one who truly understands Anakin even more than his one true love and his master
Great video! You have done an incredible job tying all of this very complex story together and making it understandable! I love Ashoka's character, and am so excited about the show, and that her story is getting the limelight it deserves!
One of the things I love about her is how much like Anakin she is. She is what Anakin would be like had he not fallen to the dark side.
That's because Filoni is a hack and couldn't or rather wouldn't develop Anakin because he hates strong men, so he just decided to get around the problem by vicariously developing Anakin through Ahsoka. It's not cool though it's absolute garbage. Ahsoka just ended up stealing from the development of everyone around her. Go and retwatch the Clone Wars and see the pattern. Filoni hates masculine men and feminine women. All feminine women and masculine men are punished or ignored. Padme has all of her scenes stolen and basically gets kicked out of the show in favor of Ahsoka or Bo Katan, Anakin stops having any development and his character starts being shown through Ahsoka. Luminara is constantly degraded and her Padawan turned to evil out of nowhere just to make Ahsoka look good, it's ridiculous how far Filoni disparages feminine women and masculine men in the show. All development of Clone Wars shifts to being done through masculine women like Ahsoka and Bo, or feminine men. It's awful.
REAL Star Wars is 1-6 and that's it.
@@123mandalore777 I have never seen a more delusional comment in my life...holy shit go learn about storytelling and hire a psychiatrist
Jesus someone has a problem with women.
@@123mandalore777I think the TCW further expanded Padme character. As well as her relationship with Anakin. From the movies it makes her look like she fell for a psycho and doesn’t really establish any passion or good will in their marriage.
@@natenae8635 You have a weird interpretation of the movies, Padme falling for Anakin and seeing past his angst and seeing all the hurt underneath is part of what made me like Padme so much. She was understanding and empathetic. Too many people lack sympathy for Anakin in Ep 2 especially. TCW did expand upon Padme greatly in the first 4 seasons where she got a good amount of attention, but in the later seasons she just suddenly disappears and is rarely involved anymore. I hated how they just dropped her for boring Ahsoka. The first 3 seasons particularly were very good in regards to Padme, but it was S4 were Ahsoka really started butting in and overtaking her story. Ahsoka was pushed into Padme's story arc in S3 but it wasn't detrimental to either character at that point, so it was interesting, but then in S4 Ahsoka immediately starts hard taking over and pushing Padme out of scenes and then S5 and onwards Padme barely appears. She just got pushed out of the show by Ahsoka.
Fun fact: Ahsoka and Maul's duel was (and many of the lightsaber battles were) done by real people with motion tracking, not just CGI. A lot of that stuff is true swordsmanship.
Yep it was absolutely beautiful!
Fun fact no one dies from most powerful weapon anymore lol
@@theblueexorcist8731Fun Fact: Maul survived being cut in half and dropping down a massive hole
@@Best4Gaming and that was explained and you could see the damage he was dealt but with new woke Disney you get stabbed and have a tiny scar lol
is there any film of the behind-the-scenes motion tracking of that duel? That would be cool to see
Totally cried about 10 minutes straight during this video😂Loved it!
🤣 yep that’s how I get trying to make videos with those scenes!
Her leaving the Jedi order was such a heartache when I first watched it and the end of the Segie of Mandalore arc was the other. I was a late commer with the Clone Wars and Rebels. I didn't start watching until 2015 and I ended the Clone Wars just as Season Seven was shown, and that was great. I just can't get enough of Star Wars.
She really is amazing and was such a needed place of connection for Anakin, especially his turn overall to the dark side.
I won't a wife like you
This is so well done! thank you for this! I've been cramming the Rebels series and then critical Clone Wars episodes for back story, and this ties so much together even of things I missed!
Excellent video. This is a really good summary of Ahsoka throughout her time in the Star Wars universe. I look forward to this new series, and I hope it doesn't let down.
Great, great summary. You didn’t waste any words during your description. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid.
The first half of this is a tear jerker man 😂. It's good. It's deep.
Great video. Like so many others I was unsure about Ahsoka when she first appeared, but grew to love her spirit and determination and was thrilled to see her return in Rebels and then again in the Book of Boba Fett. I can't wait to see her series :)
Exceptional recap. Very succinct. I had seen all of that multiple times. But to those without the patience to go back and watch Clone Wars, Rebels, and all the shorts (i.e., my wife 😅) this is an invaluable historical recap for the new series! Thank you so much!
Ahsoka is my favourite character ever because she grew up with me and I grew up with her. Incredible writing for this character
Wow yeah NEEDED to see this! There is SO much I’ve missed been watching clones wars & rebels but thanks for catching us up.
Great video, it really helped me to understand Ahsoka's story.
I always loved ahsoka she was my favorite character growing seeing her in sequels meant so much to me yet alone awhole series is truly incredible and her master student bond with anekin was sooo touching it broke my heart when she left it was the beginning of the end for anekin
I'm even more buzzing for the Ahsoka series now!!
I named my daughter Ahsoka.
That recap was amazing!!! May the force be with you.
I did not connect the bird creature to the Sister passing her life force onto Ahsoka until this video. Nice catch
What a great video. Love the details that fill in the gaps around the different series.
DUDE, you are amazing! This recap is so on point, and educational! just WOW. Keep up the good work, this is so good. Can't WAIT for the ahsoka series!
Thank you!
This is so well done! Your approach is informative, respectful and no politics were involved. Your voice was also upbeat but so considerate and caring of the subject matter. Anyone, any age can watch this to get up to speed! Thank you so much, this is a much needed video!😊
“No politics were involved”
Dude has no idea of the deep political undertones the first OT movies have ☠️☠️☠️
@@ryanstallard1160 his video was non- political in nature compared to so many others on the net that have political undertones. Can't help that the movies might have been, look who's running Disney, man! 😂
thank you for putting this together, it helps a lot and is appreciated
I wonder if we’ll see the Ahsoka vs Vader during the battle of Malachor from Rebels into live action!! That would be a great parallel scene to Obi-wan vs Anakin in the Kenobi series
I agree I’d love to see that in live action!
Would rather see force ghost anakin guide Ahsoka
@@TisDansk why not both? But yeah I’d also rather see Hayden Christensen as Anakin in present time. We’ve never gotten to see it. Kenobi is set in the past so that doesn’t count. I’m talking about Mandoverse present time
@@multicreativeartist6579 agreed
@@TisDansk I don’t think they’d bring Hayden back just to play as Vader. I’m sure he’ll play as Anakin. It just depends on either a flash back or force ghost in present time talking to ahsoka
very good cover of the story and well told! Thanks to this recomended vid I Realized I had missed that Tales of the Jedi came, watched it and it was amazing. Also THE BAD BATCH season 2, going to watch it now. The first season was pure Gold.
Basically thanks for the reminder from a fan to annother 😆
I often say you can work out what series of Clone Wars someone is on by asking what they think of Ahsoka. Some of the best character development in any Star Wars series or films.
Thank you for your hard work making such a detailed breakdown of Ahsoka's story.
Thanks for watching!
Great recap! I did not have tome to fo back and watch Rebela and Clone Wars again, so this was a great refresher. The new series is off to a good stsrt imo. Thatnks for your hard work!
Thanks for this. Big Star Wars fan but never watched much of the animated things - excited for this show!
Oh, wow... I'm so totally hyped !!! 🤩 I only have half a dozen episodes of Rebels left to watch and I can't wait.
Dave Filoni has really been doing a truly amazing job with his TV shows, they all deepen and enrich George Lucas's Star Wars way better than the latest Trilogy did !
Thank you for that informative update!
This really helped put together some loose ends for me. Thanks!!
Read a lot of comments. Late to Star Wars and have to say, I instantly loved her. The smart mouth side kick reminded me of my niece when she stayed with me for awhile and then her story happened and it was really tough to watch. I’m excited to continue seeing her but always watch old clips of her and Anakin time to time for nostalgia.
Thanks for this video ! May the force be with all of you !
That was a great video! Thank you for posting it
Thank you for the summary. Really helpful in understanding the Asoka Serie.
I always loved their Big brother Little sister dynamic.
Brilliant video, exactly what I was looking for. Thankyou
It's so bittersweet seeing these moments,knowing what's coming for all of them....
This was so well done... thank you!
Thank you, I had forgotten so much and you refreshed my memory.
👊🏼
Dude, thank you for this! You are brilliant!
Thank you for watching!
Literally watching this now before it debuts!!! I can’t wait
Let’s goooooooo
Really well done recap!
Thank you!
Thankyou so much, awesome overview
A lot of your predictions held true...well done :)
This clears up a lot of things for me . Thanks
Thank you for your time! Impressive work to put all this together!
🙏🏼
Excellent job breaking down the timelines.💯👍🏾✨️✨️✨️😎
duuuuuuuude, I enjoyed every second of this video... and i loved the clone war series... cant wait for ahsoka series...Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic run down of one of the best Force users ever . Thank you
Finally I got to understand a full back story on the character. I know who she was but there's a lot of missing pieces that I didn't know about.
Great recap! You covered all the important points without going overboard. I'm anticipating great reviews from you.
I appreciate your shared love for Star Wars. I'm currently preparing for the major rewatch of Ashoka-centric Clone Wars and Rebels. However, Rebels left me with many unanswered questions.
I noticed that in the Mandalorian, Ashoka is dressed in black or gray, but in the Rebel epilogue, she transformed into Ashoka the White (like Gandalf's transformation). I'm eagerly anticipating Dave's explanation of what happened to Ashoka in the temple at the end of "World Between Worlds", how she disappeared during the initial Trilogy, and how she found Luke. There are so many loose ends.
What's particularly haunting to me is the LucasFilms banner in red, suggesting a death or loss battle. Thus, this first season will keep me in suspense until the very end.
Thank you! Yes her grey outfit, and then switching to white is interesting. Good catch on the red Lucasfilm logo! The rumor of a place called “the beyond” might have some significance to that. The Beyond is referenced in the Thrawn Ascendancy novel Greater Good. In the unknown regions, some force sensitives called the force, the beyond. Possibly even the cosmic force. Interesting idea
@@SWPhoenixSquadron I have watched your video four times now. Your ability to articulate your points through a well-written script and well-edited clips is truly impressive. Your enthusiasm is infectious, making it a joy to listen to you. Keep up the great work! You have past 5K Subscribers and 140K views on this video. Impressive... quite impressive. Tony
I'm guessing that little owl-thing is an idea pinched from Greek mythology - Athena's Owl, representing wisdom. Athena is representative of wisdom and war, which seems appropriate for Ahsoka.
I enjoyed this video - thank you.
Wow just wow …… I didn’t know all this existed! Just brilliant
Filoni did a fantastic job of converting me from a big time hater of the Ahsoka character in early seasons of Clone Wars to identifying with her through her maturing trials and character development in middle to later seasons when I felt all her ethical and moral dilemmas and reasonings as my own, given if I had faced them. Then oddly she became my favorite Star Wars character. Never saw it coming.
-- So when I saw how the Jedi Orders Council treated their very own to judged her guilty without consulting the Force for the truth, or given her fair Jedi trials first - I felt then and there that Yoda and the whole Jedi Orders Council( I repeat - C O U N C I L - and not the Jedis under them ) deserved what happened to them from Order 66. Failed them their green little grand master did! @ 5:03
Amazing work!!! Thank you so much.
Great video dude....I think there are a lot of folks out there who don't know who Ahsoka is and this would definitely fill them in!
that's their problem....
Thank You for this wonderful video. Love the relationship between Anakin and Ashoka. ❤
I think this new Balan character was probably a former Jedi Temple Knight (or was in training to be a Temple Knight during Order 66). I can't remember if Temple Knights were all force wielders (not Jedi), but they were definitely force sensitive. Anyways... I can't wait for the show to start.
What are you referring to as a temple knight? There were Jedi Consular, Jedi Guardian, and Jedi Sentinels. All three were Force using, trained Jedi knights.
Awesome recap champ. Thank you
Wow. What a great video. Thank you so much!
Thanx - great guide .. we have not seen half of what you have outlined in Australia yet. So many chapters are missing for us.
Very nice, though I have seen all of this it was wonderfully narrated and tells the great story that is Asoka.
That this was a great video for casual Star wars fans to catch us up. Thank you
My father (who won't watch animated stuff) asks me seriously why I like Ahsoka so much. I always answer that it's two things; firstly that she gives so much insight into Anakin's turn, but secondly, her theme as a character is mistake after mistake. We always know why she makes the choices she does, but she is met by failure and betrayal at every turn. And at every turn she finds a way to put herself back together. That is a strength and resilience I have not seen in a lot of characters
Perfectly put!
im so hyped for episode 3 and 4 dude thank you for hyping me
Amazing video! Really insightful thank you! I’m a massive Star Wars fan but never got the time to watch rebels but with this video I got the feeling like I had watched it all… a lot of emotional baggage to carry on to the Ahsoka series lol 🙏
Thanks for watching and I’m happy it helped!
I wanna cry so bad watching this. It always hits hard. I’ve seen everything starwars including the games and now ive been collecting comics & all the prequels make the story so sad cause we know whats gunna happen
That was really helpful. Thank you.
This was AMAZING to watch
Thank you!
I’m hyped!! 😭🙌🏽
Asoka has the power of a pure forceweilder transferred into her witch makes her the most powerful Gray jedi who ever existed amen
Hallelujah!!!
*which
Nope !! Revan, Bendu, Tar Vizla, Starkiller, & Dark Empire Luke Skywalker are stronger "Grey Jedi" force wielders.
Lol u need to learn what a gray is cuz Ashoka is far from that. Ashoka is the most closest thing to a true Jedi!
She’s not a gray jedi…
the ending of the clone wars had me crying so hard, it killed me
I definitely needed this, thanks
👊🏼
Can’t wait. Ashoka is amazing
thank you
very informative
May the force be with you
Needed this
This Video is just perfect!
Thank you!!! Thank you !!! i am an old gun and never saw about Ashoka….i wanted to remain in the “old”Star Wars but saw the one with Anakin and Patme and realized the trilogy… and I need more …..❤
Really well explained
Thank you for catching me up!
I love that you told us Ahsoka's history. (I avoided cause it's animated and I found myself feeling with some tears @12:02). Thank you so much. I love this character and her energy...white.
Thanks Guy, i luv Star Wars but im not a big animation fan so havnt seen the shows and people keep saying the Ashoka show wont be as impactful if u dont know her back story..Thanks for the video, it was very well put together and made easy enough to follow..You should work for Disney to make promotional and series companion videos for them..
Haha I wish! But thanks for watching and I’m glad it helped!
Thank you for this 🩷
Wow very well done!
Thank you! I never got to finish CW so I was missing a lot of context.
Thanks for watching!
Anikin knew about order 66. in a way. He had visions when he was a young Jedi. like with Padme. I bet he saw Ahsoka get killed in one and that's why he trained her so hard.
