If you're a casual Star Wars fan, Ahsoka Tano may be the most beloved character you’ve never heard of. In The Clone Wars animated series, she was Anakin Skywalker’s padawan who ends up becoming a legendary Jedi in her own right. And she is making her live action debut played by Rosario Dawson on The Mandalorian. I talk with entertainment journalists Lauren Davis and Amy Richau about how Ahsoka went from an annoying sidekick to the center of Star Wars fandom. McKenna Fellows takes us into the world of Ahsoka cosplay, and designer Rachel Roth discusses why she created a couture dress based on Ahsoka’s costume.
