Ahsoka Tano was a Togruta Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars who was assigned Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker by Jedi Master Yoda, and showed an eagerness to prove herself worthy to be his apprentice. Tano was involved in the defeat of the Separatist army on Christophsis and survived a brief encounter with Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress during the Battle of Teth. Indeed, along with Skywalker, Tano was instrumental in acquiring the Galactic Republic safe passage through Hutt space, due to her part in rescuing the son of Jabba Desilijic Tiure, which ensured an alliance between the Republic and the Hutts.
