GIRL BOSS!!!


I think this is accurate for other women in Disney Star Wars. But the main characters of Ahsoka all had their own character development over multiple series. Ahsoka did not start as a Girl Boss and her path is much like other female jedi in history. So, I think this is lazy thinking when it comes to these characters.

There are certain posters here, who regularly show up in these threads to skyscream, who will never accept anyone but a strong, male lead in a show.

If you’re complaining about the female leads in this show that have been thoroughly fleshed out, supported in good SW content, then your agenda is obvious.

This. Her start was as an annoying padawan that Anakin did not want (hence his nickname for her, “Snips”). She didn’t start out as some the powerful character she is now.

Ahsoka is not a boss through almost all of CW.

In fact, she is hyper annoying most of the series

Most stories in the first few seasons of CW:

-Obi-Wan tells Anakin to do a thing
-Ani goes rogue
-Ahsoka whines about him going rogue, then goes rogue on his rogue
-Obi-Wan has to bail them out

Her growth in the late seasons on CW and Rebels is a masterstroke of storytelling acumen.

Her place in the SW lexicon is hard-earned, and thoroughly deserved.
