It would seem like such a major part in the saga to be left out of the 6 movies. Personally, I'm hoping that she'll turn to the dark side and then is killed by either Anakin or Obi-Wan. Something like that might make Anakin ashamed or embarassed and would give reason not to talk about it during the films. If she did turn to the dark side Anakin would view it as a failure.

I dont know about this whole 'Anakin had a padawan' thing. It messes up the continuity of character development with the movies.
Like other people mentioned, its too short of a timeframe. He wasn't capable yet, and the Jedi didn't trust him.
Besides, allthough its a pretty big thing, its not mentioned in the movies.
I think its just another idea Lucas came up with long after he thought out the prequelstories, and now tries to cram it in there.
Sure it will make for great new stories, but it sure messes up the story overall.
I still think the series will be amusing though.

I have to admit I'm not buying this whole Anakin-has-a-padawan thing. It doesn't fit his character or his personality. He's way too into himself (as odd as that sounds), and as it was stated earlier, the Jedi Council simply don't trust him. To me it seems like another excuse to get yet another a half-dressed female into the Star Wars universe. But I digress...
My guess is she will either be taken out by Asajj Ventress or Grievous. They have to actually SHOW him earning his title as a Jedi Killer (considering we haven't seen him do anything spectacular thusfar LOL).

Even if Grievous does kill Ashoka, it only further proves me and SSS's point back in the PT forum that Grievous mainly preyed on padawans.
I'm guessing she'll be killed by Asajj, because my theory of Dooku killing her was corrected rightfully.
I agree with you though, Meriwyn, It just doesn't make sense that Anakin would have a padawan, especially after we've been told threw wookiepedia and other SW sources that Anakin was never granted one. The council thinks he's immature, irresponsible and reckless. Of course that might just be the reason why yoda grants him one in the first place, to hopefully help him grow up and clean up his act alittle. However it just doesn't add up that he's granted a padawan so early after being knighted.
I know, I know, Obi Wan got Anakin while skipping the trials. But he was going to train him whether the council permitted it or not, so it was a special case. Giving Anakin a padawan, someone who's so powerful yet has so many faults with attatchment and arrogance, is dangerous. But then again, not as dangerous as assigning him to spy on the chancellor.

I have a feeling that, oh, maybe it will be explained in the series. Just a guess. It's also important to remember that he's only going to have a padawan for a very brief period of time, a few months at most. And he was on the council, which means they do trust him more than a lot of you are giving them credit for.
And as far as the EU books and comics go, the authors know about as much as we do. George is heavily involved with this series. Those authors are really just guessing.

I don't have a ton of expectations for Ahsoka, but I can say that I can't wait to see her in the movie.

Tartakovsky's Clone Wars Series showed some of that. A lot of it actually; it made him out to be something much more fearsome than what we saw on film.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing her. I think Yoda sent her to Anakin to help keep him grounded and allow him a learning experience. I also think the Jedi Council wants to give Anakin more responsibility so that he thinks he has their trust. A padawan would let him know that they believe he is capable of trining someone, so its a way of telling him they trust his judgement.
I hope she doesn't die. I agree with the people who say she'll have something to do with the Purge. I'm pretty sure its Shaak Ti on Felucia in "The Force Unleashed," though.

Yes I agree. Grievous and Mace Windu both suffered from being MUCH more bad-you-know-what in the cartoons than in the actual movies.

Well Mace was pretty bad-you-know-what in the movies, too. Look at the way he dispatched Jango Fett.

I always thought Mace Windu was super cool in the movies. Grevious on the other hand, well his whole thing is that if he's in a pickle he splits the scenery. Intimidating, yes, but not a Jedi killer like the CW series made him out to be.

Definitely agree. In the CW shorts, Grievous is introduced in a far more dramatic and impressive way than he is in ROTS (yet more evidence that Lucas is great at the broad ideas, but doesn't necessarily execute them as well as others could). Anyone who didn't see the CW shorts and just saw Grievous in ROTS probably doesn't think much of him. But watch the shorts and you know what kind of fearsome villain he is. I think you need to see the shorts to really see Grievous as the predecessor to Vader.
Hopefully they'll more fully flush that out in the CGI series. I think GL and co. can really use this series to better develop and flush out the characters and relationships that the movies never really did.

G ... I just realised something. How in the world did you spell Ahsoka's name wrong in the title of this thread?
And how did nobody see that?

Yeah, that's the beauty with this series, that we get to see side characters get fleshed out.
And I don't want to sound like I didn't like the way Grevious was handled in the movie. It just seemed like George's version of him and Genndy's version of him were totally different. I saw the movie before I saw either of the Clone Wars microseries, so I didn't have any expectations of him.
