The 20th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Ahsoka Tano!
Ahsoka Tano Overall= 89
At a very young age, Ahsoka was brought to the Jedi Temple by Jedi Master Plo Koon.
Small, timid and afraid, the young Togruta would make a name for herself.
When the Clone Wars began to dominate the Galaxy, Tano assumed the position of Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic.
Her style was different from many other Jedi warriors as she insisted on making close bonds with the clones which in turn made her that much more respected amongst the Republic’s fighting force.
So how does Ahsoka Tano rank higher than the past Jedi Masters on this list?
Two things.
For starters, she was trained by the absolute best in Anakin Skywalker.
That invaluable experience allowed her to exceed expectations no matter where she was and emerge victorious almost always.
Secondly, just like Kanan Jarrus, Ahsoka Tano overcame diversity to survive Order 66.
As I’ve said in the past, that shows tremendous ability.
Characteristics
- Connect-ability (Strength, 89/100)– One of Ahsoka’s biggest strengths is her passion for others. She cares about her fellow freedom fighters whether they’re Jedi, Rebels or normal everyday civilians. In a battle, someone who displays the trust and care for their own is looked upon as a true leader. That’s Ahsoka Tano.
- Agility, Elusiveness and Fighting Style (Strength, 93/100)– How do you hit something you can’t see? That’s the problem Ahsoka’s enemies encounter when facing the former Jedi. Her elite speed and flexibility creates match up problems for anyone she faces. With her distinct dual wield lightsabers she is a rock solid pillar in the name of justice.
- Experience (Strength, 95/100)- Ahsoka’s extensive combat history is impressive. She’s fought countless battles against tyrants and massive military forces, she’s engaged the Sith on multiple occasions and she was trained by the greatest! Not to mention the fact that she’s one of the leaders of the Rebel movement as we see on Star Wars Rebels. Her intense dealings in the past give her the credibility over some Jedi Masters. Ahsoka Tano is a force to be reckoned with and she routinely proves it.
- Leadership (Strength, 91/100)- Many Jedi are leaders in their own right but Ahsoka Tano takes it up a notch. As I said before, she is an absolute quintessential piece to the Rebellion. Everything we see the resisting force become in the face of the Empire in episodes IV, V and VI were only able to grow into what they are through Ahsoka’s leadership.
- Emotional Connection (Weakness, 60/100)- Ahsoka’s undoing will be her past connections. She was a Jedi and as a Jedi one is taught to let go of all emotional connections but the key here is she’s no longer part of the Order. She closed that chapter and with that she invites danger. Will she be able to raise her blade against Darth Vader when she now knows who is really under that mask? It’s undoubtedly a recipe for disaster.
- Martyr (Weakness, *)- We still don’t know how Ahsoka’s story will end but I have a gut feeling that she will not let herself fight to the end and instead succumb to defeat under her own power. To send a message to her former Master or to help inspire the Rebel movement, it’s very plausible. It is what some of the greats have done in the past and I think when it’s all said and done, Ahsoka Tano will be looked at as “great”.
Intangibles
- Hope (Strength, 96/100)- What allowed Ahsoka to come back into the center of things and have the spotlight back on her? Hope. She has a soul of pure unfiltered light. Her heart is something you can’t teach and it is also what defines her. There was never the question of “will she stand against the Empire”? Instead of “will she” it was “when”.
Final Word
When the curtain falls and the story of Ahsoka Tano is finished, how will we remember her?For the most part we won’t look to her time as a Padawan in the Jedi Temple or her heroics on the battlefields throughout the Galaxy during the Clone Wars. What I believe she represents is a force of nature that decided to face true evil and protect those who can’t protect themselves. What we will remember her for is the tireless work she endured to combat the atrocities forced upon existence that is known as the Empire. The best way to describe Ahsoka Tano is a symbol of hope. By story’s end, I think her life will prove that much more than I can ever say…
