Ahsoka Tano was a female Togruta Padawan in the Jedi Order and, later, a revolutionary leader in the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire. She was born thirty-six years prior to the Battle of Yavin and was taken into the Jedi Order by Jedi Master Plo Koon. Tano trained for many years as a youngling before being assigned as the Padawan of Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. During their earliest days together, Tano and Skywalker, who named his new apprentice "Snips" due to her snippy remarks, learned to trust one another and work together as a team. They used this burgeoning relationship in the rescue of Jabba the Hutt's son, foiling a plan by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to kill the Huttlet and frame the Galactic Republic.

Tano served throughout the war alongside Skywalker, acting as a field commander under Skywalker's command. Her training as a Jedi continued throughout many battles, where she gained hands-on experience in combat and leadership. At times, she passed that leadership onto others, such as teaching students about corruption on Mandalore and leading a group of Padawans to the Jedi Temple on Ilum. Her friendship with her master also grew, and the two often risked their lives for one another. She also forged a friendship with Lux Bonteri, a Separatist who eventually returned to the Republic, showing her that there were good people on both sides of the conflict. Her time in the Jedi Order ended near the end of the war, when her friend and fellow Padawan, Barriss Offee, bombed the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and implicated Tano in the crime. Tano was expelled from the Order and put on trial by the Republic, before Skywalker was able to discover Barriss' involvement. Despite being allowed back into the Order, Tano chose to leave due to the Jedi Council's lack of faith in her.
