Just judging by the fandom, she is the most popular Star Wars character to be introduced since the original movie. So they embellish her, put her in more stories to attract the fans, and make her more powerful to satisfy them. I heard that she took on Darth Vader and died a Disney death in the battle with the building falling on her but no body was recovered, so she should be canonically dead with an opening for the writers to bring her back if they want to.

In Rebels, Ahsoka fights Vader in a Sith temple that's in the process of going doomsday. She stabs the floor to destroy the place... and then Vader is later seen limping away.

A year later, Ezra with Morai's help uses a portal in the Jedi temple on Lothal to pull her out of that moment, presumably displacing her forward in time up to his present day.

The thing you gotta understand about Rebels, is that Ezra is so powerful he's practically an Eldar Farseer or Worldsinger from 40k.

tl;dr Filoni added time travel to a 40 year old franchise to save his waifu oc yet again.

It was a continuation of a clone wars thing. It didn't come out of nowhere.

In season 3 of clone wars, Anakin, Obi-wan, and Ahsoka visit Mortis and encounter the three force celestials (the Father, Son, and Daughter) who try to take Anakin as their successor. This story was from Lucas himself, and the original plot for the last three movies was supposed to involve the force gods and the resolution of their conflict. Luke was supposed to go there and it would finally explain the whole balance the force prophecy thing.

Anyway, towards the end of Rebels, Ezra enters their realm. Morai, a form or familiar of the daughter, leads him to Ahsoka.

One of the things Rebels establishes is that force users are potentially capable of being so much more than just spoon bending precogs with laser swords. A strong enough force user can do 40k eldar shit like creating webways.


In short, Filoni was working from Lucas's materials for VII-IX as they were when Lucas sold the company to Disney, and Rebels was setting the stage for those movies.

Maybe so at one point, but her repeated insertion into more and more material, especially post OG films, is getting increasing pushback from fans who find her overused now.

Ashoka was always Dave Filoni's pet OC and while she was part of the Clone Wars stories that wasn't much of an issue. But her repeated survival through events such as Order 66, her duel with Vader in Rebels which fundamentally rewrote Star Wars lore by introducing time travel, the entire fucking original trilogy, and now showing up in multiple Disney productions such as The Mandalorian and The wet fart Book of Boba Fett means she's been in more shows and stories than anyone.

And on top of all that her upcoming solo show is a rip off of Timothy Zahn's 'Heir to the Empire' but with Ashoka has the lead instead of Luke, because first off Luke is dead due to the truly shit tier writing of the Disney Trilogy, but also because modern protags in Disney, and the wider entertainment medium, are all Girl-Boss types who get everything handed to them and never actually face real challenges.

Someone tried to convince me to watch it due to the Heir to the Empire influence. I said I want to see a faithful adaptation. Darth Angelus on YouTube is doing an adaptation and he is doing a good job considering his limitations
