Ahsoka has proven to be a fan-favorite Star Wars character, and while she is often sympathetic, sometimes she got what she deserved.
Every Star Wars fan has a favorite character, one they hold dear and love sometimes more than life. For many, the character they care for the most is Ahsoka Tano, a character so beloved to the point where fans take up arms if something bad happens to her.
However, there are some moments where this doesn't happen. Every now and then, instead of feeling sorry for Ahsoka, one can't help but feel like she got what was coming due to certain actions. Here are five moments where we felt bad for Ahsoka and five where she got what she deserved.
Without a doubt, facing down an evil version of your friend isn't a task one can easily stomach. During the now-iconic Mortis arc, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka are forced to confront a malevolent being known as The Son, who slowly turns Anakin to the dark side.
After falling prey to The Son's influence, Anakin goes after Ahsoka, leading to a tense scene that had many a fan holding their breaths and hoping that Ahsoka and Obi-Wan would be able to free Anakin and return the master to his padawan.
Let it be said that putting a child in charge of a clone army is a bad idea no matter what universe it takes place in. While leading the squadron in the siege of Ryloth wasn't entirely Ahsoka's decision, there were steps she could have taken to turn the position away.
Instead, she took the job and haphazardly lead a clone squadron, resulting in their ultimate demise. Despite the intention that the audience should feel bad for Ashoka, many couldn't help but feel she deserved the guilt of her actions.
As if being set up for murder wasn't bad enough, Ahsoka's life was turned upside down even more by her expulsion from the Jedi order, an act that shook many fans to their core and changed the dynamic of Ahsoka.
It's one thing for a fan's favorite character to be framed for a crime they didn't commit but for the consequences to expand to being forced from the place one had come to call home is something else altogether. Ahsoka's banishment upset many fans and deepened their love for her.
Strange as it may sound, sometimes when something bad happens to a character, it can sometimes be for the best. When Ahsoka left the Jedi order at the end of season five, fans were left devastated by her departure, and yet, it was something she deserved for the better.
Leaving the Jedi order on her terms allowed Ahsoka to venture out into the world and learn more about how the rest of the world saw the Order, setting the stage for her new life in season seven.
The brother and sister relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka is what drew many fans into the show. Each week, audiences watched with joy as Anakin trained, taught, and messed around with Ahsoka, trying their best not to think about the person Anakin would become.
Yet, all good things must come to an end, and in Star Wars: Rebels, the brother, and sister bond was broken when Ahsoka faced off against Darth Vader. What followed was a heartwrenching battle and reunion between two friends whose bonds would never be fixed.
Despite Ahsoka becoming a fan-favorite character over the years, she didn't start off that way. When fans first met Ahsoka in The Clone Wars Movie, instead of meeting a young badass padawan, they were introduced to a whiney, annoying girl who got what she deserved and got stuck with a baby Hutt.
Throughout the film, fans watched as Ahsoka struggle with Stinky, son of Jaba Hutt, who'd been kidnapped. Watching this version of Ahsoka struggle to control a baby made many fans chuckle a little at her expense.
It's funny how easily fans seemed to forget how Revenge Of The Sith, the movie that Clone Wars takes place before and during ends and how so many were hoping for a happy season seven finale. Their hopes were quite literally "Shattered" in the eleventh episode when Order 66 was executed.
The hardest part of the event was how it affected Ahsoka, from her horrified feeling Anakin finally turn to the dark side to the confusion and heartbreak of Captain Rex turning on her, making for quite the scene.
Even after outgrowing her Clone Wars film personality, Ahsoka still had a tendency to be a tad bit obnoxious and still required a bit more growth throughout the series. One incident that allowed her to grow was sticking her with a group of younglings.
What followed was a haphazard adventure involving pirates, droids, and a circus in a strange and obviously trying adventure for Ahsoka that both made up for all her moments of annoyance from the film and also allowed her to grow up a bit as a character.
From the moment it began, fans knew that Clone Wars season seven would be different from all others and serve as the final chapter in the series. What they weren't expecting was the emotional conclusion the series brought about.
After the execution of Order 66, Ahsoka and Rex barely escaped with their lives but in the process, killed the clones they had come to know and call brothers in arms. Seeing Ahsoka stand before the graves of the soldiers she had once called friends is a heartbreaking image for anyone.
While many have hailed the seventh season of Clone Wars as one of the best in animated history, that doesn't mean the season didn't struggle with some issues, specifically, the inclusion of a character many see as being even more annoying than the film version of Ahsoka, Trace.
What made the Trace arc even more frustrating was how long Ahsoka spent time with Trace and her equally obnoxious sister. So whenever trouble arose between this unlikely trio, fans didn't even shed a tear at the unfortunate situations.
