TV Discussion The Ahsoka Tano Mega Thread Power Hour

Guess she got the book. Here’s hoping she narrates the audio-version, I’ve always preferred the audio-books when it comes to SW novels. They can add the scores and sound effects from the films. It really adds a lot to the experience.

 

I just noticed that the Cover art makes Ahsoka oldish looking, like around 50ish.

 

Its definitely interesting.

 

What's odd is that the amazon link shows a different cover for the book.

 

It is a preview novel with preview artwork that isn't final. I've only read the Obi-Wan and Anakin young adult novels, but I am going to give the Ahsoka novel a shot since it is going to give some crucial information about Ahsoka.
Ahsoka's place in the Star Wars community is so interesting to watch unfold. To think most teen and adult fans couldn't stand her when she first debuted. Even some old EU purists like Jensaari1 on YouTube really like Ahsoka. I have grown quite fond of Ahsoka and I am interested to find out more about her. I will say that I hope the Duel on Malachor was her final battle as it would make her relationship with Anakin all the more tragic.

 

It's debatable on how most fans took to her when she first debuted; but there should be little argument that by the time she left the Order in Season 5, more people jumped on her bandwagon than just about any other new character released in the franchise since Maul in the PT.

 

Just an FYI. As I've suggested in the lit thread on the Ahsoka's "YA" rating, all of the Harry Potter books were YA. Those books were as popular among younger people as they were among adults. If they weren't, no one would've ever heard of J.K. Rowling.

 

Would be great to see artwork like this now with Ahsoka included.

 

Some interesting tidbit from the novel.

Spoiler

Ahsoka has green lightsabers. That's interesting, so I guess that means she got her white lightsabers sometime between this novel and Rebels.

 

I posted this in the Literature category.

It would certainly make me very happy if Saw gives any mention - no matter how minor - of Ahsoka in Rogue One. The more you think about it, he really didn't have any significant interaction with the Jedi except for her. Jeez, even something subtle like:

Jyn: I've heard so much about the Jedi. The keepers of peace for the entire galaxy for generations.
Saw: Yeah, they were a special bunch (he says with a grin).
Jyn: You talk as if you've met them.
Saw: The Republic sent a few of them with Clones to assist us on Onderon. Two of them left after the first day, but one, a female Togrutan, stayed with us until we took back our planet.

 

How old was Harry Potter supposed to be in those last few books? A friend of mine who read them all suggested him and his friends aged up through the end. But it was still considered young adult.

 

Well the HP movies are certainly among the children's videos at my library. It should be interesting where they'd decide to put the new Ahsoka book. There's a children's book section and adult section. No in-between.

 

Anyone else think this should be Ahsoka's theme song?

 

Not bad. However... I think that one would befit her more in her earlier days. The TCW era.

I've thought for a while now that a pretty good theme song, at least for the more recent period of her life and her interaction with Vader, would be this one:



Stylistically maybe a bit more anger in that one than you'd normally associate with Ahsoka, but some of the lyrical themes in the song resonate pretty well.

Show yourself, show me your face, show me who you really are... With blood on your hands, you are unclean... You cannot be saved... Forgive you? How can I? I can't even forgive myself?... Why would you do this?

I’m curious why you think TCW era fits better? I thought of the Rebels era, “If we believe we can’t lose even mountains will move” sounds more like the up hill struggle of a fledgling rebellion than that of the Republic or Jedi.
If you liked that song then I recommend checking out other songs by Skillet. I haven’t found a Skillet song that I don’t like yet.

 

Some Ahsoka Anakin concept art.

 

I posted this in the Ahsoka in Rebels thread, but thought it worth putting here too. It has a link to all of the art that Sixes posted above, and there are some interesting comments below the article too.

I think it's great that Ahsoka has become kind of talismanic for Star Wars TV. She's not a part of the movie franchise per se - not yet, anyway - but the potential is there. Damn, I love her. I love the way the character evolved in-universe, from snotty brat to resourceful, ethical warrior, and then onto independently-minded Rebel leader. But, as one of the commentators says beneath that io9 article (quoting Filoni), in the real world the character earned respect too. Love her or loath her, it's not easy to ignore her. Maybe that's part of what makes her so appealing.

 

When does this book come out again? I have to get my hands on it regardless of my feelings toward Ahsoka.

Anyway I'm interested to see what types of people Ahsoka runs into in the novel and if she reveals who she is to any of them.

 

The novel comes out in October.

 

Good. Not to far.

 

So going by the new clip from S3, the Owl is connected to Bendu and not the Daughter like we thought. Which makes Ahsoka's fate even more interesting
Is she a follower of the Bendu now ? Did she pass on into some Bendu afterlife ?
