10 Ahsoka Resists The Son and Bonds With The Daughter On Mortis

During the Clone Wars, Ahsoka, Anakin, and Obi-Wan Kenobi found themselves in Moris, a mystical realm within the Force. In this ethereal world, they encountered the Son, Daughter, and Father, who embodied the fundamental aspects of the Force. The Son represented the dark side, while the Daughter embodied the light side. The Father, acting as a balance, maintained control over his children and possessed a power that Anakin, as the Chosen One, also possessed.

Ahsoka faced a crucial test of her allegiance to the light side when the Son attempted to lure her to the dark side. However, despite the Son's efforts, he was unable to corrupt her willingly and had to resort to forcefully tainting her. Fortunately, Ahsoka was later restored through the intervention of the Daughter. Their bond was solidified, symbolized by the presence of the Daughter's convor bird named Morai, who became Ahsoka's guardian.

While the Jedi Council eventually admitted their mistake, Ahsoka made the difficult decision to leave the Jedi Order behind, despite the fact that it encompassed everything she had ever known and the people she held closest. This pivotal moment set her on a path that would lead to her becoming one of the most captivating Force-users in the Star Wars canon.

Departing from the Jedi Path and driven by her noble intentions, Ahsoka emerged as a heroic figure guided by the will of the Force.

Engaging in a fierce duel with Maul himself, Ahsoka showcased her exceptional skills, ultimately emerging victorious despite the immense power he possessed through the dark side of the Force. This achievement stands as a testament to her remarkable abilities and unwavering determination.

7 Ahsoka Survives Order 66 (and Saves Rex)

While on her way to Coruscant to deliver Maul, Emperor Palpatine issued Order 66, forcing Ahsoka to defend herself against the clone troopers she had previously fought alongside. Utilizing her unique training from Anakin, Ahsoka skillfully repelled the attacks from the 332nd until she could assist Rex and remove his inhibitor chip. United, Ahsoka and Rex managed to survive the clones' ruthless assault by causing the Republic cruiser to collapse. In the aftermath, Ahsoka left her lightsabers behind amidst the wreckage, burying the fallen clones and going into hiding with Rex as the Empire emerged, marking the beginning of the Dark Times in the Star Wars galaxy.

In the Star Wars Rebels animated series, Ahsoka established the Fulcrum network inspired by her master Anakin Skywalker's covert frequency developed during the Clone Wars.

4 Ahsoka Defeats Darth Vader's Inquisitors

Assuming a more proactive role within the Spectres, Ahsoka ultimately confronted Darth Vader in a climactic showdown. Upon the perilous Sith planet of Malachor, she engaged in a duel with the formidable Dark Lord of the Sith, ensuring the protection of Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger. In the encounter, Ahsoka succeeded in damaging Vader's menacing mask, exposing the person hidden beneath its intimidating facade. This revelation confirmed her long-held suspicions that her former mentor, Anakin Skywalker, was indeed the enigmatic Sith Lord. Nevertheless, as the Sith super weapon on Malachor was annihilated, Ahsoka and Vader went their separate paths, both miraculously surviving the tragic encounter. The fact that Ahsoka could hold her ground against Vader, even after discovering the truth, undeniably stands as a remarkable achievement.

In various instances within the Star Wars canon, Ahsoka has consistently demonstrated her superiority over Darth Vader's Jedi-hunting Inquisitors. Not only did she triumph over Tualon in Tales of the Jedi, but she also proved herself against Fifth Brother, Seventh Sister, and Eighth Brother multiple times in the Star Wars Rebels series. Furthermore, Ahsoka is set to confront a new Inquisitor in the upcoming Ahsoka novel, and it is reasonable to expect that she will easily surpass any challenges posed by the Inquisitors and their dark side training.
