5 Most Breathtaking Lightsaber Duels Starring Ahsoka, Ranked
In the 15 years since her debut, the character has fought countless battles, so we picked five of the most impressive lightsaber duels starring Ahsoka Tano.
Ahsoka Tano has made countless appearances in various Star Wars media since her debut in 2008's Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which kicked off the animated TV series of the same name.
So, in anticipation of the upcoming Ahsoka live-action TV series, which is scheduled to premiere on August 23, 2023, let's revisit the most impressive lightsaber duels the iconic Jedi has fought over the years, in our opinion.
5. Ahsoka vs. Barris Offee
During the story arc that served as the finale for the fifth season of The Clone Wars, Ahsoka is falsely accused of being involved in a terrorist attack on the Jedi Temple, sending the Padawan on the run to prove her innocence.
In episode 19, she is ambushed by a fellow Jedi, Barris Offee, who is the real mastermind behind the attack.
However, because Barris has disguised himself as Asajj Ventress, one of Ahsoka's old adversaries, her identity remains hidden, leading to an intense confrontation in the lower levels of Coruscant.
4. Ahsoka vs. Inquisitors
It has been quite some time since we have seen Ahsoka in action, so when the character returned in Star Wars Rebels, fans held their breath in anticipation.
When Ezra and Kanan were attacked again by Imperial Inquisitors in episode 10 of season 2, she suddenly entered the scene and easily proved that a trained Jedi is not as easy a prey as an ex-Padawan and his young apprentice.
3. Ahsoka vs. The Magistrate
While this fight from episode 5 of The Mandalorian season 2 may not be the flashiest on our list, seeing Ahsoka wield lightsabers in live action for the first time was very impressive and satisfying.
2. Ahsoka vs. Darth Vader
In the season 2 finale of Rebels, Ahsoka finally met her former master after all these years.
It led to a heartbreaking duel in which she tried in vain to reach Anakin, hidden behind the black helmet of the Sith Lord.
1. Ahsoka vs. Maul
This duel from the last season of The Clone Wars is not only the best one involving Ahsoka, but also one of the best duels in all of Star Wars.
It had it all: great choreography (using motion capture to translate the actors' movements into animation), a killer soundtrack, memorable locations, and huge story significance.
