When Ahsoka Tano begins her journey during the Clone Wars conflict, she’s merely 14 years old. As seen on “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi,” she was born on the Togruta homeworld of Shili in 36 BBY before being taken in by the Jedi Order. By the end of the Clone Wars, she’s 17, and when she appears during the events of “Star Wars Rebels” in roughly 3 BBY, she’s in her early 30s. When Ahsoka later reemerges on “The Mandalorian” and her self-titled series, she’s in her mid-40s.
All of that is to say that by the time of the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, which takes place 30-plus years after the Battle of Yavin, Ahsoka is in her 70s. Assuming Togruta age in canon similarly to Legends, she’s fair game to appear in tales set after “Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker” … or is she? In that film, Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley) hears the disembodied voices of past Jedi, many of whom are deceased. Among these voices is Ahsoka, hinting that between “Ahsoka” and “The Rise of Skywalker,” she might have met her demise. Then again, maybe she is still alive and has found a way to communicate with Rey through the Force.
In virtually all mediums, “Star Wars” continues to expand. One has to imagine that answers regarding Ahsoka Tano’s lifespan will come in due time.
