The relationships of Ahsoka Tano from the Star Wars universe.
Anakin Skywalker
“He was powerful, rarely lost a battle. What would have surprised people was how kind he was. He cared deeply about his friends, and looked out for them until the end.” ―Ahsoka telling Ezra Bridger about Anakin 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 criticised 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
“You're a good soldier, Rex.” ―Ahsoka comforting a distraught 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's 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.
Asajj Ventress
“I have to admit, I never saw us doing anything together. Ever." "These are strange times.” ―Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress Ahsoka met Asajj Ventress shortly after becoming Anakin Skywalker's padawan during the mission to save Jabba the Hutt's son. 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.
General Grievous
“Sorry to interrupt your playtime, grumpy, but wouldn't you prefer a challenge?" "That wouldn't be you!” ―Ahsoka Tano and 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
“Ahsoka Tano, You have been charged with sedition Against the Jedi Order and the republic itself. This court will decide your fate.” ―Palpatine 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.
