Summary
Ahsoka Tano has finally arrived inFortniteas part of Chapter 4, Season 4’s Battle Pass lineup. The former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker was originally met with derision among fans when she first appeared in the animatedStar Wars: The Clone Warsseries, but she soon grew in popularity thanks to her character development in both that show and its follow-upStar Wars Rebels. She eventually made the jump to live action courtesy ofDying Light 2: Stay Humanstar Rosario Dawsonin the second season ofThe MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fettbefore starring in the aptly-titledAhsoka.
As is the case with manyStar Warsprotagonists, Ahsoka Tano has appeared in numerous video games set in the fabled Galaxy Far, Far, Away, though these mainly consist of tie-ins toThe Clone Wars. Elsewhere, she was a playable character in the now-defunctDisney Infinity, added to last year’sLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagaas DLC, and would have been included inStar Wars Battlefront 2’s canceled Mustafar-based expansionhad EA and developer DICE not dropped support for the game in 2020.
