Star Wars Costumes: Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka Tano is a primary character from the popular animated Star Wars: Clone Wars series and one of the few female Jedi characters followed in detail through the Star Wars universe. Ahsoka is a Togruta female from the homeworld of Shili that was discovered by Jedi Master Plo Koon and brought into the Jedi Temple. To help teach responsibility to a rebellious young Jedi, Master Yoda assigned Ahsoka as a Padawan to Anakin Skywalker so that he could better understand his role in the Clone Wars as a Jedi Master and help to develop her skills.
As the relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka develops, Anakin finds himself struggling with the same counter productive attitude and actions that he himself portrayed in his younger years. Ahsoka is often heard referring to other Jedi with informal nicknames and is later given the nickname "Snips" by Anakin in reference to her "snippy" attitude towards him during their intial introductions. Although a struggle at times, the friendship that develops between Anakin and Snips grows stronger over time but there is always a slight cloud of doubt that looms.
