Following the Star Wars: Rebels Season 2 finale episode “Twilight of the Apprentice”, Star Wars fans have been left wondering where the story of fan-favourite character Ahsoka Tano lies next. While we won’t get those answers right away, a new novel has been announced (titled “Ahsoka”) that will tell her story from leaving the Jedi Order in Star Wars: The Clone Wars to becoming “Fulcrum” in Star Wars: Rebels.
A description of the novel from Disney and Lucasfilm can be read below:
“Ahsoka Tano, fan favorite character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, will be the star of her own young adult novel from Disney Lucasfilm Press this October 11, 2016! Fans have long wondered what happened to Ahsoka after she left the Jedi Order near the end of the Clone Wars, and before she re-appeared as the mysterious Rebel operative Fulcrum in Rebels. Finally, her story will begin to be told. Following her experiences with the Jedi and the devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka is unsure she can be part of a larger whole ever again. But her desire to fight the evils of the Empire and protect those who need it will lead her right to Bail Organa, and the Rebel Alliance….”
The novel will be written by E.K. Johnston (author of A Thousand Nights) and is scheduled for release on October 11th.
Rebels Executive Producer and The Clone Wars Supervising Director Dave Filoni is quoted as saying the following on the novel:
“Ahsoka has a long history, and there is much more to it than the fans know. I have always worked on her story, even parts that I know we will probably never see on screen. By broadening her story from the animated series to the written page, I feel we have a real opportunity to provide fans with details about her character that they would not know otherwise. We are also responding to the strong fan support that we have seen Ahsoka receive over the last eight years. The fans want more Ahsoka and we are going to give it to you, and since I’ve been there since the beginning I am dedicated to working with publishing to help make this book as authentic a part of her story as if we filmed it for the series.”
“Ahsoka” is scheduled for release on October 11th, 2016.
