Ahsoka Tano/Relationships

The relationships of Ahsoka Tano from the Star Wars universe.
==Friends and Allies==
===Anakin Skywalker===
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 Christophsis, Anakin finally accepted Ahsoka as his apprentice and the 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.
At some point during the Clone Wars, Ahsoka had somehow discovered that Anakin was secretly married to Padmé Amidala, but she never revealed this to anyone. Ahsoka knew full well that if she revealed this secret to the public, not only would Anakin be wrongfully and unfairly expelled from the Jedi Order, but Padmé would also be removed from the senate. Hiding this secret proved just how loyal she truly was to Anakin, as well as to Padmé.
Nearing the end of the Clone Wars, Anakin 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 believed to be by everyone else. After she was caught, he was the only Jedi who took a proactive approach to clearing her name. 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 members of the Jedi High Council, because they never believed in her innocence. Ahsoka was very sad to leave her friend and former mentor behind, as well leaving the only life she ever knew. Before leaving, due to her closeness with the two of them, she inferred to Anakin that she knew of his secret marriage to Padmé, mentioning an "I know", when he told her he knew what it was like to want to leave the order.
The last time that Ahsoka saw Anakin was before he was sent to rescue Palpatine from Dooku and Grievous. Before they went their separate ways again, Anakin gave Ahsoka her lightsabers back (having replaced the damaged green crystals with blue ones) and the two wished each other luck. However, unknown to either of them, this would be the last time they would see each other as friends and saw Anakin as the man he truly was, before Anakin fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. Prior to this, she was forewarned by Maul that Anakin was the key to Darth Sidious' plan to destroy the Jedi and help the Sith rule the galaxy. Ahsoka however refused to believe it and brought Maul in, declaring she knew her master. After Maul's capture, Tano attempted to speak with Anakin (hearing about his special assignment the Jedi Council gave him) but was unable to make contact with him. Later, she was able to feel his fall to the dark side through the Force, hearing him call out in anguish after attacking Mace Windu. She had no time to process these events before the execution of Order 66, forcing her to go into hiding. Although she did not know the fate of her master, she remembered him fondly, never forgetting the compassion and kindness Anakin offered to the galaxy.
When first confronting Vader in "The Siege of Lothal", Ahsoka sensed Anakin's presence and had her suspicions on her master's fate. In "Shroud of Darkness", Ahsoka was watching an old hologram of Anakin teaching before entering the Lothal Jedi Temple. After Ahsoka entered the Temple, she has a vision of Anakin, who torments Ahsoka, expressing a twisted hatred of her for leaving him. The vision was a manifestation of Ahsoka's guilt, as she secretly feels extremely guilty and remorseful for leaving her former mentor in his greatest moment of need. As Ahsoka discovered the truth, she was left heartbroken and in shock that her former mentor was worse than dead, but in fact the very threat she was facing. However, she still aided the Rebel fleet against Vader, despite their past friendship.
In "Twilight of the Apprentice", Ahsoka finally faced her former mentor on the Malachor Sith Temple. Still in denial that Anakin and Vader were the same person, Ahsoka expressed outrage that she ever suspected so, and refused to believe it. Vader then claimed that Anakin was weak, and that he (Vader) destroyed him. Ahsoka then coldly decided to avenge Anakin's "death" and engages Vader in a fierce lightsaber duel. After Ahsoka slices off part of Vader's mask, she sees Anakin's disfigured face, she becomes shocked and saddened, but finally accepted the truth that Anakin and Vader were the same individual. She offered him compassion, firmly stating that she won't leave him, and for a moment Ahsoka's compassion appeared to have reached Vader, but he then shrugged it off and cruelly resolves to kill her, which effectively destroys any trace of the bond once shared between the former master and apprentice. In "A World Between Worlds", Ahsoka and Vader continued their duel until she was rescued by a future version of Ezra before Vader was able to strike her down. In the end, a bereft Ahsoka realized in despair that she cannot save the man that was once her beloved master, as he was now gone.
It's currently unknown if Ahsoka learned about Anakin's redemption during the Battle of Endor. However, it is implied she did as she reflected on the impact of Anakin's decisions on the galaxy. Despite Anakin's flaws, Ahsoka remembered him as "the best of us", a good man who fell victim to his own fears. Around 9 ABY, she refused to train the youngling Grogu, because she recognized that the child's attachment to his father figure Din Djarin made him vulnerable to the same fears as Anakin. Ahsoka could not separate the infant from Djarin, vowing to not set him down the same self-destructive path as her old friend. She even saw a bit of Anakin in his son, Luke Skywalker in a positive way where she inspired the aspiring Jedi Master to decide how to train Grogu.
In addition, Ahsoka still harbored guilt for leaving Anakin when she left the Jedi Order as she took on Sabine Wren as her own apprentice. After her duel with Baylan Skoll on the planet Seatos, Ahsoka found herself in the World Between Worlds again where she was greeted by Anakin, whom she was happy to see. Ahsoka and Anakin greeted each other in a friendly manner before Anakin started testing her to see if she was willing to return to the world of the living. During the lesson, Ahsoka revealed her conflict of being a part of Anakin's legacy, but when she decided to spare Anakin's spirit, Anakin smiled proudly at his former Padawan and told her that there was hope for her, allowing Ahsoka to return to the world of the living. Later, Ahsoka did a training exercise using a hologram recording of Anakin's teaching instructions that he created back when she was young, showing she kept all records of Anakin's training exercises. She regarded Anakin as a good master, showing she still loved Anakin as her mentor and brother-figure and the good man he is.
===Obi-Wan Kenobi===
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, she had a deep respect for Obi-Wan and he believed 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 correctly doubtful of her being guilty of bombing the Coruscant Jedi Temple. He was the only member of the Jedi High Council who was against the decision to strip her of her status as a Jedi, so she could be turned over to a military court for her so-called treason and urged them to show solidarity with Ahsoka. However, unlike Anakin, he did nothing to help Ahsoka clear her name, as he felt that there was nothing he could do personally.
Like all members of the Jedi High Council, Obi-Wan was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Palpatine and during Barriss Offee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He was not 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 council had refused to believe in her innocence, a decision that surprised all of members of the Jedi Council, including Obi-Wan. After she left the Coruscant Jedi Temple, Anakin ran after her and 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. Although Obi-Wan was very sad to see Ahsoka leave, he refused to truly acknowledge that the council were at least partly responsible for Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order in the first place, believing that Ahsoka had let emotions cloud her judgment, something against the Jedi way.
The last time that Ahsoka saw Obi-Wan was before he was sent to rescue Sheev Palpatine from Dooku and Grievous, when Obi-Wan advised Ahsoka to capture Maul, saying he was hard to kill and the two exchanged proper good-byes. However, Ahsoka was quite cold towards Obi-Wan, as she criticized him for willingly allowing himself to get involved into politics, stating that this is one of the reasons why the people of the Republic have lost faith in the Jedi Order, and this was also one of the reasons she left the order in the first place. Obi-Wan was hurt by this statement of Ahsoka's.
During the Siege of Mandalore, Ahsoka contacted Obi-Wan via a hologram to tell about the progress in retaking the planet. Obi-Wan told her he could not send more troops to aid Ahsoka and, in private, he revealed to her that the Jedi Council had Anakin spy on Palpatine after the Senate allowed to remain in office after his term as Supreme Chancellor has been expired.
Ahsoka was agitated by the council having Anakin spy on his friend, which Obi-Wan agreed that the council is not always right and asks Ahsoka to tell Anakin of it. This implies that after their last conversation, Obi-Wan had finally come to reluctantly accept the truth that Ahsoka did not leave the Jedi Order because she had let emotion cloud her judgment, she left because the council were at least partly responsible, as they never believed in her innocence. Before she could react, Ahsoka is called away into battle, but before she leaves, she asks Obi-Wan to tell Anakin about the council himself, which Obi-Wan promises to do. This was the last time that Ahsoka saw Obi-Wan alive, before he was killed by Darth Vader nineteen years later but they managed to parted ways on good terms before Obi-Wan's death.
===Rex===
Ahsoka first met Rex during the Battle of Christophsis, when she was assigned to Anakin Skywalker as his apprentice, throughout the Clone Wars the two formed a brother-sister relationship.
Initially, Ahsoka believed that because she was a Jedi and he was a captain, 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 Ahsoka, being one of the few people that were doubtful of her being guilty of committing murder and bombing the Coruscant Jedi Temple, telling Commander Fox that "I know Commander Tano. She would never do something like this". He was probably saddened by her departure from the Jedi Order.
However, when Ahsoka returned to get the Republic's support in laying a siege on Mandalore, Ahsoka was happy to see Rex again and willing to stand by her side, as Rex addressed her as "commander". Ahsoka was also touched that Rex had the 332nd Company paint their helmets to resemble her face and to honor her. After the Siege of Mandalore, when Order 66 was commenced, Ahsoka was horrified to see Rex and the other clones turn against her. However, Rex told Ahsoka to "find Fives" before she escaped from being executed.
Ahsoka soon discovered clone trooper Fives' investigation of the clones' inhibitor chips, promoting her to save her longtime friend by removing his chip. Ahsoka forgave Rex for nearly killing her, and the two worked together in fighting their former comrades and escaping. Before confronting a number of troops at the hangar of their cruiser, Ahsoka consoled Rex as he cried when he said that they have to kill their comrades in order to escape by telling him he's a good soldier and that's why she does not want to kill any of their former friends. Luckily, they managed to survive their attempted executions, gave their deceased former comrades proper burials, faked their deaths, and went on their separate ways.
When meeting and working with the Ghost crew, Ahsoka decided to recruit Rex in the Rebel Alliance's fight against the Galactic Empire so she told the Ghost crew to find and convince Rex to join the fight. When Ahsoka reunited with Rex for the first time in years, she happily embraced him.
When Ahsoka went on a mission to Malachor with Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus, Ahsoka spoke with Rex through a hologram where she assured him she and her comrades will be fine despite Rex wanting to go on the mission. When Rex remarks that experience always outranks everything (a callback to their very first conversation), Ahsoka replies that if that were the case, then she definitely outranks him now, making Rex smile before he wishes her luck. Later, Rex was deeply saddened when he learned of Ahsoka's apparent death on Malachor, quickly putting two and two together when she did not exit the Phantom with Ezra and Kanan.
===Padmé Amidala===
Ahsoka and Padmé greatly respected and admired each other. It was Padmé who taught Ahsoka that politics, as well as other things, aren't as black and white as she once thought.
At some point during the Clone Wars, Ahsoka had somehow discovered that Padmé was secretly married to her then-mentor, Anakin Skywalker, but she never revealed this to anyone. Ahsoka knew full well, if she revealed this secret to the public, not only would Padmé be removed from the senate, but Anakin would also be wrongfully and unfairly expelled from the Jedi Order, proving just how loyal she truly was to Padmé, as well as to Anakin.
When Ahsoka was accused of treason, Padmé was one of the few people who correctly believed that Ahsoka had actually been framed. After she was expelled from the Jedi Order, like Anakin, Padmé took an active role in attempting to clear Ahsoka's name. Ahsoka trusted Padmé during this time to confide how betrayed she felt. During Ahsoka's trial, Padmé put up a good defense, pointing out that if Ahsoka really was the culprit, she would not have made the so-called evidence against her so obvious. Despite Padmé's impressive defense, the Senate believed Ahsoka was guilty, and the young Togruta would have been executed had Anakin not exposed the true culprit.
It was the last time that Ahsoka saw Padmé alive before she died after giving birth to her children (Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa) combined with the stress that Anakin had become evil. Though the two never saw each other again, her affection for a woman that was like a big sister/mother to her remained, as Ahsoka kept Padmé's marriage to Anakin a secret.
After surviving Order 66, Ahsoka caught word of Padmé's death and secretly attended her funeral on Naboo. Ahsoka was devastated over the death of Padmé and was willing to risk her safety in order to attend her friend's funeral in order to pay her respects.
After Padmé's death, Ahsoka joined the Rebel Alliance that was forged to carry on her old friend's will and legacy.
===Bail Organa===
Ahsoka and Bail became allies in the wanning years of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, in which they worked together to protect Padme from an assassin. He would be present at her trial after she was accused of bombing the Jedi Temple and for the murder of Letta Turmond, and it is most likely that he believed in her innocence despite not really being able to do anything as his opinions were overshadowed by the vast majority who believed in her supposed guilt. After the birth of the Galactic Empire, though Ahsoka was initially cautious of Bail, they soon came to trust each other. Together they created the Rebel Network, a group of Rebel cells to undermine the Empire and throw wrenches in the Emperor's plans until the time was right for an open rebellion.
===Plo Koon===
Plo was the very Jedi that found and brought Ahsoka to the Coruscant 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, when Ahsoka was found among nano droids when being accused of murdering Letta Turmmond, all this relationship was shattered making only a few half-hearted attempts to defend her and proving to have an appalling amount of disloyalty towards the girl who had looked up to him her whole life.
Like all members of the Jedi High Council, Plo was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Palpatine and during Barriss Offee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He was surprised to learn 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 actions, 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 council had refused to believe in her innocence. 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 council, not even the Jedi who had brought her to the Jedi Temple in the first place. It was very likely that Plo's betrayal damaged his friendship with Ahsoka.
After Ahsoka left the Temple, Plo was very sad to see his former friend leave, but did not attempt to go after her. This was the last time that she saw the kel dor Jedi Master alive before he was killed during the execution of Order 66, therefore Ahsoka and Plo parted ways on bad terms.
Although Plo had 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.
During the Siege of Mandalore, Ahsoka learned via a hologram from Obi-Wan Kenobi that Plo, along with the other members of the Jedi High Council, had ordered Anakin to spy on Sheev Palpatine after the Senate allowed to remain in office after his term as Supreme Chancellor has been expired. She was completely disgusted by the council's actions and her already-negative opinion towards them, including Plo, became much lower than before.
===Yoda===
Like all Jedi, Ahsoka deeply respected Yoda and would usually go to him for guidance when Anakin or Obi-Wan were not around. Yoda seemed to have a slight fondness for Ahsoka, and was in fact 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 shattered and broken when he, along with the rest of the Jedi High Council, abandoned her when she was accused of treason, as he believed she would commit unspeakable crimes.
Like all members of the Jedi High Council, Yoda was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by 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 Ahsoka, feeling betrayed because the council never believed in her innocence, refused reinstatement and walked away from the Jedi Order, a decision that surprised all of members of the Jedi Council, including Yoda.
After Ahsoka left the Jedi Temple, Yoda was very sad to see her leave, but did not attempt to go after her. Ahsoka's departure haunted Yoda for sometime afterwards, as 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 acknowledged that the council had been wrong to accuse Ahsoka and took responsibility for his failure, albeit secretly. In fact, his guilt was so great that the Dark Side attempted to use it against him, but failed.
During the Siege of Mandalore, Ahsoka learned via a hologram from Obi-Wan Kenobi that Yoda, along with the other members of the Jedi High Council, had ordered Anakin Skywalker to spy on Sheev Palpatine after the Senate allowed to remain in office after his term as Supreme Chancellor has been expired. She was completely disgusted by council's actions, including Yoda's.
The last time that Ahsoka saw Yoda before the Jedi Purge was via a hologram after the Siege of Mandalore and the mission to capture Maul was successful. Yoda noticed that Ahsoka still had no intention of returning to the Jedi Order, but he accepted it, and still treated her with great respect. Before ending their transmission, Yoda was aware that Ahsoka had a message for her former mentor, Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka realizing that Yoda felt sorry for wrongfully accusing her of treason, almost tells him about her worries for Anakin, but decided not to as she wishes to tell Anakin herself. Respecting her decision, Yoda said good-bye to Ahsoka, and called her Padawan, proving that Ahsoka had regained at least some respect for Yoda, as he was apparently the only member of the Jedi High Council who felt sorry for never believing in her innocence.
Years later, Ahsoka met Yoda again when she went to a Jedi Temple on Lothal with Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger to seek answers on how to defeat Darth Vader and the Inquisitors. As Ahsoka and her friends escaped the temple when the Inquisitors had found, she sensed Yoda's presence and saw him appear before her. Yoda was proud to see how much Ahsoka has grown up since the last time they saw each other. Ahsoka smiled at Yoda as he waved good-bye to her, showing that Ahsoka has completely regained her respect for Yoda. This would be last time that Ahsoka saw Yoda alive before he died from his old age at the age of nine hundred. Thus, Ahsoka and Yoda parted ways on good terms.
===Mace Windu===
Like most Jedi, Ahsoka initially held Mace in high esteem for his legendary wisdom and fighting skills, but he held her in low esteem because of her young age and rebellious nature.
Ahsoka's trust and respect for Mace was shattered when he, along with the rest of the Jedi High Council, abandoned her when she was accused of treason. During the Judgment meeting, Mace showed to be mistrustful, stating that the Jedi Council had to figure out who was trying to deceive them, and included Ahsoka among the suspects. The council then decided to cast her from the Jedi Order, stripping her of her status as a Jedi. Her expulsion from the Jedi Order left Ahsoka heartbroken and feeling deeply betrayed by every member of the council, including Mace.
When it was confirmed Barriss Offee was the true culprit, Mace was surprised that Ahsoka was innocent and shocked by Barriss' scathing speech against the Jedi Order. Despite trying to make amends with her like the other members of the council, instead of taking responsibility for his and the council's actions, Mace claimed 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 Mace's lack of trust and support, she was also deeply sad and refused the offer to return to the Jedi Order as a Jedi Knight, because the council never believed in her innocence, feeling she could no longer trust any member of the council.
During the Siege of Mandalore, Ahsoka learned via a hologram from Obi-Wan Kenobi that Mace, along with the other members of the Jedi High Council, had ordered Anakin Skywalker to spy on Sheev Palpatine after the Senate allowed to remain in office after his term as Supreme Chancellor has been expired. She was completely disgusted by the council's actions, and Ahsoka's already-negative opinion towards them, including Mace, became much lower than before. When she demanded to know more, Mace refused to elaborate and mockingly called her "citizen", as she had just told him and Yoda that she felt that her part in the Siege of Mandalore was as a normal citizen rather than as a Jedi.
Ahsoka and Mace parted ways on bad terms, and it was the last time that she saw the human Jedi Master alive before he was killed by Palpatine and Anakin that same day. While Ahsoka and Mace did not parted ways amicably, she was still saddened when she sensed his death, as they were ultimately on the same side, regarding them protecting the Republic from the Sith, despite them having completely different views.
===Ki-Adi-Mundi===
Ahsoka served alongside Ki-Adi during the second battle of Geonosis. Though Ki-Adi found the adventurous natures of Ahsoka and Anakin unusual, he quickly developed a degree of respect for her, especially after she and Barriss destroyed the Droid Factory. Ahsoka also highly respected Ki-Adi.
However, Ahsoka's trust and respect for Ki-Adi was permanently shattered and broken when he, along with the rest of the Jedi High Council, abandoned her when she was accused of treason. He made no attempt whatsoever to defend her, and alongside Mace Windu, openly accused her of lying to the Council and stripped her of her rank and status as a Jedi.
Like all members of the Jedi High Council, Ki-Adi was present during Ahsoka's trial as presided over by Palpatine and during Barriss Offee's confession, proving Ahsoka to be innocent. He was surprised that Ahsoka had been innocent the entire time.
Afterwards, Ki-Adi joined the Jedi Council in offering to reinstate Ahsoka into the Jedi Order and praised her efforts to prove her innocence, even quite warmly stating she had shown the true signs of a Jedi Knight. However, he failed to understand how deeply the ordeal had affected Ahsoka. Thus, he was both shocked and surprised when she refused to rejoin the Jedi ranks, because the council never believed in her innocence.
During the Siege of Mandalore, Ahsoka learned via a hologram from Obi-Wan Kenobi that Ki-Adi, along with the other members of the Jedi High Council, had ordered Anakin Skywalker to spy on Sheev Palpatine after the Senate allowed to remain in office after his term as Supreme Chancellor has been expired. She was completely disgusted by the council's actions, and Ahsoka's already-negative opinion towards them, including Ki-Adi, became much lower than before. This was the last time that she saw the Cerean Jedi Master alive before he was killed during the execution of Order 66, so Ahsoka and Ki-Adi parted ways on bad terms.
===Lux Bonteri===
Ahsoka met Lux when Padmé journeyed to Raxus Prime to meet his mother, Senator Mina Bonteri. It was Lux who helped Ahsoka learn how life wasn't as black and white as she thought.
===Bo-Katan Kryze===
Ahsoka first met Bo-Katan Kryze on the planet of Carlac when she discovered her friend, Lux Bonteri allied himself with Mandalore's Death Watch, led by Pre Vizla. Due to Bo-Katan being a member of Death Watch, Ahsoka became instant enemies with her, especially when Bo-Katan slapped her backside as she commented on how skinny Tano was for someone betrothed to Bonteri. When arriving at the Death Watch, Bo-Katan put Ahsoka in a tent filled with female slaves where she tried to attack Bo-Katan, only to be held back by one of the slaves. Later, after Ahsoka revealed herself to be a Jedi, she and Bonteri fled where Ahsoka engaged in a duel with Bo-Katan where Ahsoka emerged victorious, allowing her and Bonteri to escape the planet.
Sometime after Maul took over Mandalore, Bo-Katan found Ahsoka on Oba Diah where she and her new friends, the Martez sisters, had become prisoners to the Pykes due to not delivering them their spice. Bo-Katan decided to keep an eye on the former Jedi, stating that they had a common enemy in Maul. When Ahsoka met with Bo-Katan on Coruscant, she was alarmed at the sight of the Mandalorian, attempting to protect her new friends, but Bo-Katan assures her she is not here to attack and Death Watch no longer exists. Ahsoka was enlisted by Bo-Katan in helping her take back Mandalore from Maul and despite Bo-Katan being a former enemy, Ahsoka decided to help Bo-Katan reclaim her home planet.
During the Siege of Mandalore, Ahsoka and Bo-Katan formed a friendship and Ahsoka noticed that despite Bo-Katan being the opposite of her sister, Satine, she is worthy of leading the people of Mandalore. After Ahsoka captured Maul, she and Bo-Katan discussed on their success and Ahsoka reveals she views Bo-Katan as one of the people who taught how to succeed. Bo-Katan then reveals she wishes she knew how to do something other wage war as she did not understand her sister's idealism. Before Ahsoka left with the captured Maul, she and Bo-Katan parted on good terms, with Tano trusting in Kryze's ability to rule Mandalore.
Years later, Bo-Katan told Din Djarin to take The Child to Ahsoka, showing that Bo-Katan still values Ahsoka as her friend and trusted comrade.
===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 shown to be respectful of Ahsoka, trusting her completely. Hera respected the necessity of Ahsoka keeping her identity secret and wouldn't allow Sabine to know more, partly to protect the Rebel Network. Hera 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 showed that she was concerned for her safety while still trying to pilot the Ghost.
However, years after the Empire's defeat during the Battle of Endor, Ahsoka reunited with Hera as the New Republic. When Ahsoka found a star map that held the key to finding Ezra, she recruited Hera in finding and reuniting with Ezra. When Ahsoka confided in her about her frustrations with Sabine, Hera gave her some advice on how to handle her former Padawan and assured Ahsoka that she had her reasons for leaving the Jedi Order. The two investigated Morgan Elsbeth's factories on Corellia due to tracing one of her assassin droids there. Though they managed to apprehend some greedy Imperial loyalists, Hera managed to place a tracking device on a hyperdrive core that Elsbeth constructed so Hera and Ahsoka could track her down and find Ezra.
Ahsoka reunited with Hera when she was saved from drowning after her encounter with her former master, Anakin Skywalker in the World Between Worlds. After recovering, Ahsoka spoke with Hera and realized Sabine had been taken by Morgan Elsbeth and her forces who left to find Gran Admiral Thrawn. When a New Republic fleet arrived to confront Hera for her disobedience in investigating without approval, Hera and her squad of pilots provided a distraction for Ahsoka so she could use a pod of Purrgil to get to Ezra and Sabine's location. Before leaving, Ahsoka promised to find Ezra and Sabine, with Hera telling her to may the Force be with her.
===Sabine Wren===
Sabine didn't know much about Ahsoka since the girl went by her codename "Fulcrum". Sabine tried very 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 hers, who can supply the rebel fleet with a list of useful bases.
Five years after the Battle of Endor, Ahsoka would join Sabine in her search for Ezra, as he had mysteriously disappeared along with Thrawn during the "Liberation of Lothal". Sabine would go on to become Ahsoka's Padawan, but their relationship became strained when the remnants of the Empire destroyed Sabine's homeworld, Mandalore, and killed her family, causing Ahsoka to fear Sabine will fall to the dark side of the Force if consumed by her grief and anger. This caused them to go on their own separate ways and not remain in touch with each other. However, a few years later, Ahsoka reunited with Sabine when she found a star map that had Ezra's location on it. Though the two were on bitter terms, Sabine did agree to unlock the map until it was stolen by Shin Hati. After recovering from her injuries and having a pep talk with Huyang, Sabine decided to accompany Ahsoka in finding Ezra, becoming her Padawan again.
During their journey, Ahsoka resumed Sabine's Jedi training where she tried to teach how to rely on her surroundings other than her lightsaber skills that she learned from Kanan Jarrus. Ahsoka and Sabine did have trouble cooperating with each other, but when attacked by Shin Hati and a squad of Imperial star fighters, they began to work together. After landing on the planet Seatos, Ahsoka advised Sabine that may need to be prepared to stop Grand Admiral Thrawn from escaping his exile before they went to fight Morgan Elsbeth and her forces. When dueling Baylan Skoll, leaving her cornered at the edge of a cliff, Ahsoka urged Sabine to destroy the star map before she fell off the cliff and entered the World Between Worlds.
After encountering her master Anakin Skywalker in the World Between Worlds and being rescued by Hera Syndulla, Ahsoka used the Force to discover Sabine had been taken by Morgan Elsbeth's forces to find Thrawn. Though she was determined to find and rescue Sabine, Ahsoka was disappointed to discover Sabine had willingly gone with Elsbeth and her forces to find Ezra. Upon arriving at the planet Peridea with the help of some Purrgil, Ahsoka managed to find Sabine's location using their connection through the Force. As a result, Ahsoka was able to save Sabine and Ezra from Hati and stormtroopers and happily reunite with them, letting go of her disappointment in Sabine.
After being reunited, Ahsoka, Sabine, and Ezra worked together in attempting to stop Thrawn from escaping exile. When Ahsoka dueled Morgan Elsbeth, she told Sabine to go stop Thrawn, despite wanting her and her master to stick together. Eventually, when seeing Ahsoka outnumbered by Elsbeth and her forces, Sabine decided to sacrifice her chance to escape Peridea and come to Ahsoka's aid, helping her defeat and kill Elsbeth. Though they did not manage to stop Thrawn from escaping exile, Ahsoka and Sabine fully mended their relationship and started to settle down on Peridea until they could figure out a way to escape the planet.
===Ezra Bridger===
Before they met, Ezra only knew Ahsoka by the name "Fulcrum". After Kanan was captured by the Empire Ahsoka told Hera to 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 to help Tua, and Ahsoka agreed with Ezra.
Ahsoka seems to see a bit of herself in Ezra, and 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.
When Ahsoka sacrificed herself to give Ezra and Kanan more time to escape from Darth Vader, Ezra was devastated and mourned her loss for a long time afterward. It is later revealed that he in fact blames himself for her apparent death.
In "A World Between Worlds", when Ezra was in the world between worlds, he saw that Ahsoka was about to receive a final blow from Vader, so he pulled her through a portal into the realm between worlds, saving her life. Ahsoka even states that she owes Ezra her life, however, she becomes horrified when Ezra becomes determined to save Kanan as well. Drawing from her own experience in being unable to save her former mentor, Ahsoka convinces Ezra to honor Kanan's sacrifice, as he gave his life to make sure Ezra would live. Following an encounter with Darth Sidious, Ahsoka and Ezra escape the realm through separate portals, and Ahsoka promises Ezra that she would find him once she got back. She wishes him luck before heading down into the ruins of the Sith Temple.
Five years later, following the Rebellion's climatic victory at the "Battle of Endor", Ahsoka would seek to keep her promise to Ezra by joining Sabine Wren in her search for him, as he had disappeared along with Grand Admiral Thrawn during the "Liberation of Lothal". Ahsoka never gave up in searching for Ezra and once she found a star map that held a location where Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn were exiled, she recruited Hera Syndulla and Sabine to help her find Ezra and stop Thrawn reassembling the Empire.
After following Morgan Elsbeth and her forces to the planet Peridea, Ahsoka finally reunited with Ezra, sharing a loving embrace with him.
===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, and when Kanan asked how he could help, Ahsoka responded with "Just remember your training". After Ahsoka found out that Vader's her former mentor, she fainted in Kanan's arms with him deeply concerned for her safety.
In "The 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.
Kanan was saddened when Ahsoka sacrificed herself to give him and Ezra more time to escape from Darth Vader.
In "A World Between Worlds", Ahsoka was saddened to learn about Kanan's death after Ezra saved her from Vader. However, she understood that Kanan's sacrifice was of honor as he saved Ezra and the Ghost Crew from getting caught in the explosion as well.
===Grogu===
Ahsoka has a caring yet cautious relationship with Grogu. Ahsoka first met Grogu on the planet Corvus five years following the end of the Galactic Civil War when the Din Djarin sought to place him in her car as per the Mandalorian tradition of returning foundlings to their own kind. Upon first meeting him, Ahsoka developed a strong interest in the foundling, both due to his force sensitivity and because he was the only other being she had encountered from Yoda's species aside from Yoda himself. As night fell upon the planet, Ahsoka and Grogue were able to communicate telepathically through the force. During this time, Ahsoka learned of Grogu's past as a Jedi Padawan and, like her, was survivor of Order 66 and the adventures and close bond he had formed with his Mandalorian protector. She also took a strong liking to Grogu, as he fondly reminded her of Yoda and expressed a doting affection towards the youngling.
The next day, Ahsoka decided to test Grogu's abilities with the force before deciding whether or not to follow through with Djarin's insistence to train him. At first, Grogu was uncompliant and refused to show off his abilities. Rather than being frustrated, Ashoka was patient and could sense that Grogu's refusal was due to his traumatic past. Realizing that he might listen to Djarin, she had him help her in getting Grogu to demonstrate his abilities. When this proved successful, Ahsoka recognized that Grogu had formed a strong emotional attachment to Djarin whom he had come to love as his adopted father. Fearing that such an attachment would inevitably cause him to follow the same path as her former master, Ahsoka refused to train Grogu insisting that it would be better for his abilities to fade away rather than live with an attachment that could risk him falling to the Dark Side. Despite helping Djarin in overthrowing the corrupt magistrate of Calidan, Ahsoka stood by this decision of hers and refused to train Grogu, still seeing the risk as too great. Despite her reservations, however, she advised Djarin to take Grogu to Typhon, where he could find a Jedi to train him, believing that perhaps a Jedi could still train him despite his attachment to the Mandalorian. Grogu and Ahsoka then departed on good terms, with Grogu holding Ahsoka's fingers before their departure.
===R2-D2===
Ahsoka and R2-D2 met when she was assigned as Anakin Skywalker's apprentice. She seemed to be the closest friend Artoo had.
===Luke Skywalker===
By 9 ABY, Ahsoka knew her master's son and was in contact with him. She visited him on the planet where he was establishing his Jedi Temple and training Grogu as his first student. During their brief conversation, Ahsoka remarked that Luke was "so much like [his] father". As she departed, Luke asked if they would see each other again; Ahsoka simply replied "perhaps" and left on good terms.
==Neutral==
===Asajj Ventress===
Ahsoka met Asajj Ventress shortly after becoming Anakin Skywalker's padawan during the mission to save Jabba the Hutt's son, Rotta. They would fight each other throughout the Clone Wars, notably with Luminara Unduli, before the two Jedi allowed Ventress to escape with Nute Gunray. When she was falsely accused of bombing the Jedi Temple, Ahsoka Tano worked alongside Ventress until separating, due to Tano meeting fellow Jedi Barriss Offee. However, Offee attacked Ventress, taking her lightsabers, before fighting Tano, leaving her to be arrested by clone troopers. This moment would presumably be the last time they ever saw each other. They did not part ways on good terms, due to Offee impersonating Ventress, much to Ahsoka's initial confusion. Asajj Ventress would be mentioned in Anakin Skywalker's training holograms for Ahsoka, many years later following the defeat of the Galactic Empire.
===Barriss Offee===
Ahsoka first met Barriss Offee during the second battle of Geonosis. They 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 own crimes.
During Ahsoka's trial, Anakin unveiled Barriss, who finally confessed her crimes. Ahsoka was deeply shocked, and hurt to learn that not only did her former friend set her up, but she also intended to have her executed for crimes she didn't commit. This would presumably be the last time they ever saw each other. They did not part ways on good terms.
Barriss' betrayal would haunt Ahsoka for years to come, even after the rise of the Galactic Empire. The pain that someone she had considered a friend used her for her own selfish gain greatly changed Ahsoka's perspective on everything in her life, including the Jedi Order. So great was the pain of Barriss' betrayal that it also left Ahsoka unsure about trusting anyone or making new friends ever again. Two years later, after the birth of the Empire, she would express her belief that while Barriss was wrong in what she had done, she did have a point about the Jedi and the Republic, and if they had truly listened to her, they might have been able to stop Palpatine before it was too late, this shows that despite her betrayal, Ahsoka still holds some affection for her former friend after all.
Years after renouncing the dark side, Barriss sent a family with a force-sensitive child to an "old friend" presumably Ahsoka Tano. This means a reunion and reconciliation between Barriss and Ahsoka likely happened off-screen.
==Enemies==
===General Grievous===
Ahsoka met General Grievous early in the Clone Wars, and the Padawan was able to survive one-to-one confrontations with the Kaleesh warrior, who utilized intimidation tactics, such as roaring, to discourage his opponent.
During Anakin Skywalker's mission to save R2-D2 aboard Skytop Station, Grievous used R3-S6 as a double-agent against the Republic while he confronted Ahsoka. In their first encounter, Grievous was able to overpower Ahsoka with just one lightsaber by rendering her unconscious for several seconds after tossing her to the side, then engaged Captain Rex and a squad of clone troopers in combat. Before Grievous could kill Rex, the clone was saved by the timely intervention of Ahsoka. As Skywalker's apprentice confronted the general, who now wielded two lightsabers, she was quickly overpowered but successfully avoided his attacks, knowing that she couldn't defeat him on her own and was forced to retreat further into the station, with Grievous and R3 giving chase after her. While searching one of the abandoned spare parts rooms for her, Grievous had R3 go to the hangar and ensure that Skywalker would not escape, much to Ahsoka's anger in R3 being a traitor. Hanging from the ceiling, Grievous found Tano and clamped a metal hand around the Padawan's throat, examining her fallen lightsaber with his free hand, only for the Padawan to escape the general with her Master.
Although their armies would fight one another, Ahsoka and Grievous would not face each other again until the general was informed that Tano, a clan of six of her fellow Jedi younglings, and a group of pirates had freed Hondo Ohnaka. As they were escaping, Grievous pursued them on their tank and exchanged several blows with the Padawan, whose training has come a long way and proved to be a much more formidable opponent than in their previous encounter now wielding two lightsabers. When they crashed, the general reappears, ready to continue the fight as the younglings unite behind Ahsoka, igniting their lightsabers, unafraid and ready to battle. As Ohnaka and Katooni arrived with Slave I, and the younglings were able to jump aboard while Grievous fought Tano with four lightsabers. Although Ahsoka's skills improved, backflipping, slashing, and utilizing the Force to gain an advantage, Grievous was once again able to be more than a match, overpowering the Padawan through the implementation of his additional limbs and clawed feet. They fought with their lightsabers crossed until Grievous grabbed Ahsoka with his clawed feet, hurled her in the air, and smashed her down as he charged, his blades spinning rapidly as she kept rolling, before leaping onto her feet and their blades meet. An exhausted Ahsoka shoved Grievous hard enough, then jumped over him and fled, leaping onto the ship to escape.
General Grievous would be mentioned in Anakin Skywalker's training holograms for Ahsoka, many years later following the defeat of the Galactic Empire.
===Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious===
Like Anakin Skywalker at first, Ahsoka initially respected Palpatine, but the two became enemies during her trial and after she left the Jedi Order. It's highly likely though just as uncertain that Palpatine, who coveted Anakin as his apprentice, had some hand in his padawan's framing, expulsion from the Jedi Order and subsequent trial in which the outcome appears to have already been determined before it started. After Palpatine declared himself emperor, Ahsoka helped Bail Organa create the Rebel Network. When Bail revealed to her that Palpatine is Darth Sidious, Ahsoka realized that Palpatine has been lying to her and the Jedi Order from the very beginning, and has been using everyone as his pawns, including the Galactic Republic, the Senate, Dooku, and the Separatists. Ahsoka sees Palpatine as her most hated enemy for all the pain and suffering that has happened in the first place.
===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 Tarkin didn't like her either 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 accused Ahsoka of not only murdering Letta Turmond but also treason for the bombing of the Jedi Temple Hangar. Tarkin, like the members of the Jedi High Council (excluding Obi-Wan Kenobi) refused to believe in her innocence, and the rising body count only convinced him that Ahsoka was guilty even when Padmé pointed out that he had no real proof and that all the evidence that was present proved otherwise. With almost no evidence in his favor, Tarkin simply seemed eager for there to be one less Jedi in the galaxy, especially the one he has come to dislike since the citadel rescue mission. After her recapture, not only did Tarkin demanded that the Jedi High Council expel Ahsoka without a fair trial by jedi law, but also lobbied for her swift execution in her military trial by the senate.
After Ahsoka was proved to be innocent, Tarkin didn't even apologize to her for what he put her through, 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. Many years later, after Ahsoka's presumed death at the hands of Darth Vader on Malachor, a seemingly pleased Tarkin had a meeting with governor Arihnda Pryce and stated that while the rebels seem to be growing in number, the insurgency's Jedi-leadership (Ahsoka) was dealt with.
===Darth Maul===
Maul and Ahsoka did not meet in person until the very end of the war, but when they met Maul sarcastically noted that they had several mutual "friends". During the Siege of Mandalore, Ahsoka and Maul had a direct confrontation, in which Ahsoka and her comrades briefly managed to capture the renegade Sith Lord. When Ahsoka met Maul, he was confused at her presence as he was expecting Obi-Wan Kenobi to lead the Siege of Mandalore. After learning about her falling out with the Jedi Order, Maul became interested in the idea of teaming up with Ahsoka and maybe even making her his new apprentice. He regarded her as a kindred spirit, as they had both been abandoned by the Force-using orders they'd once served. Ahsoka initially accepted Maul's offer, but changed her mind when he revealed he intended to kill Anakin in order to prevent him from becoming Sidious' new apprentice. Even after Ahsoka rejected him, Maul gave her several chances to reconsider, though when she refused, he tried to kill her without mercy.
After being betrayed by her own clone troopers, Ahsoka released Maul from his imprisonment as a diversion. Maul was visibly impressed by Ahsoka's survival and automatically assumed she'd come to team-up, and then seemed very disappointed to learn that she hadn't. While escaping, he chose to leave her to die.
Sixteen years later, Ahsoka realized Maul was correct in Anakin turning to the dark side when she discovered that Anakin was Darth Vader. When Ahsoka and Maul faced each other once again on Malachor, Ahsoka is shown to distrust Maul while he is shown to have lost all interest in corrupting Ahsoka, often calling her things, like "Part-timer" and "Lady Tano" in mockery of her departure from the Jedi Order.
===Darth Vader===
Ahsoka believed for years that Anakin was killed in the Jedi Purge, unaware at the time that he was in fact the ruthless Sith Lord Darth Vader. Both Tano and Vader first had their suspicions of each other's survival in "The Siege of Lothal", when Tano sensed Vader being strong with the Force and he sensed her presence.
After Ahsoka entered the Lothal Jedi Temple in "Shroud of Darkness", she has a vision of Anakin, who torments Ahsoka, expressing a twisted hatred of her for leaving him. The vision of Anakin was a manifestation of Ahsoka's guilt, as she secretly feels extremely guilty and remorseful for leaving her former mentor. It was here that Ahsoka discovered the truth, and she was left heartbroken and in shock that her former mentor was worse than dead, but in fact the very threat she was facing. However, she still aided the Rebel fleet against Vader, despite their past friendship.
In "Twilight of the Apprentice", Ahsoka finally faces her former mentor on the Malachor Sith Temple. When Vader offers to spare her life if she tells him where the other lost Jedi are hiding, Ahsoka states that there are no more Jedi thanks to Vader and his Inquisitors. Still in denial that Anakin and Vader were the same individual, Ahsoka expresses outrage that she ever suspected so, and refuses to believe it. Vader then claims that Anakin was weak, and that he (Vader) destroyed him. Ahsoka then coldly decides to avenge Anakin's "death" and engages Vader in a fierce lightsaber duel. After Ahsoka slices off part of Vader's mask, she sees Anakin's disfigured face and becomes shocked and saddened, but finally accepts the truth that Anakin and Vader were the same person. She offers him compassion, firmly stating that she won't leave him, and for a moment Ahsoka's compassion appears to have reached Vader, but he then shrugs it off and cruelly resolves to kill her, which effectively destroys any trace of the bond once shared between the former master and apprentice. Despite them now being enemies, Ahsoka stays behind on the Malachor Sith Temple to give Kanan and Ezra time to escape.
In "A World Between Worlds", Ahsoka continued her duel with Vader during the Temple's destruction until she was rescued by a future version of Ezra before Vader was able to strike her down. Vader left the temple scathed but alive and confused over Ahsoka's disappearance during their duel. In the end, a bereft Ahsoka comes to the realization that she cannot save the man who was once her beloved master, as he is now gone.
Several years after Vader's death, Ahsoka told Luke Skywalker that he was "so much like [his] father" in a positive light, implying that she learned about Anakin's redemption during the Battle of Endor.
===Grand Admiral Thrawn===
Despite never personally meeting Thrawn, Ahsoka and Sabine began searching for him after he and Ezra were taken beyond the Unknown Regions by the Purrgil that Ezra used to destroy the Seventh Fleet.
Thrawn eventually sent the evil magistrate Morgan Elsbeth to take over the city of Calodan on Corvus. Ahsoka came to Elsbeth in search of her master, but Thrawn was bent on not being found. To this end, he and Elsbeth repeatedly sent their troops to kill Ahsoka, only for them to fail every time. Elsbeth then recruited Din Djarin to kill Ahsoka, but he instead befriended her. With Djarin's help, Ahsoka was able to liberate Corvus, dethrone Elsbeth, and demand Thrawn's location. After recovering a star map that pinpointed Thrawn's location, Ahsoka recruited Sabine Wren in helping her finding Thrawn in order to stop him from claiming the remains of the Empire.
