We were all heartbroken when Anakin's padawan, Ahsoka Tano, walked away from the Jedi order at the "end" of The Clone Wars animated series. Then we got to be happy again when she showed up on Rebels, but what was she doing for all that time in between? The novel Ahsoka gives us a lot of those answers. Join us as we explore the novel, and get pumped about the new last season of The Clone Wars.
