Despite its 45 years of continued storytelling, the galaxy far, far away George Lucas created in 1977, is primarily for kids. The movies and series since appeal to adults, or at least the kid that lives inside them, but Lucas always thought of children first. The soon-to-debut Ahsoka series will continue the story of, arguably, the most important character in all of Star Wars to kids who grew up loving the saga.Star Wars fans are a finicky fandom. Even before there were prequel or sequel trilogies to argue about, fans debated who was “cooler,” Han Solo, Princess Leia or Luke Skywalker. Ahsoka Tano, created by George Lucas with no small amount of input from his Padawan, Dave Filoni, first appeared in The Clone Wars movie. Adult fans, naturally, had a problem with the brash girl sassing all their favorite characters. However, for the kids whose first Star Wars was The Clone Wars, Ahsoka was the kind of self-insert character they never had before. She was powerful, often right and taught by the greats like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and others. Over the run of the series, into Star Wars: Rebels and then the Ahsoka novel, kids got to follow a character all the way from youth into adulthood. With The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, they see her grow up to be the kind of hero usually reserved for someone with the last name “Skywalker.” Ahsoka is the character kids can most identify with, especially as they (literally) grow up together.When Ahsoka first appeared in The Clone Wars movie, Anakin Skywalker did not want a Padawan learner. Yet, by the end of the film, the impertinent child sidekick earned the nickname “Snips” from Anakin. He respected both her skill and how unafraid she was in the face of danger or a Jedi Master. She was the character kids could imagine themselves being in the universe. She was able to fight in horrific battles during the war while still maintaining her sense of joy and fun. She was even a guide to other younglings when she wasn’t rescuing Obi-Wan or Anakin from another fine mess.RELATED: Ahsoka Creator Promises Plenty of Great Lightsaber Fights: ‘Fans Know the Difference’
