| abstract | - Ahsoka Tano was a female Togruta Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars. She was assigned by Grand Master Yoda to be the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, who nicknamed her Snips. Together with Skywalker, Ahsoka was involved in a number of battles against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, such as the Battle of Christophis and the successful rescue of Jabba the Hutt's son. As her war-time training continued, Tano participated in more battles, such as the destruction of the Separatist superweapon Malevolence, the rescue on the Tranquility, the raid on Nuvo Vindi's laboratory, the First Battle of Felucia, and the First Mission to Mustafar—on the latter, she helped foil a plot orchestrated by Darth Sidious himself. She also became one of the few Jedi to survive a duel with the droid General Grievous. As the conflict raged on, she learned that its politics were not as black and white as she once thought and eventually entered into a relationship (and marriage) with Lux Bonteri, son of former Confederate senator Mina Bonteri. During the conflict, Ahsoka became senator of her homeworld of Shili, in addition to her duties as a Jedi. After the war, she narrowly evaded Order 66, and went into hiding with her husband Lux, while he served in the Imperial Senate. After going into hiding, she took on Lux's surname in order to hide her identity from Imperial authorities, as the name Tano was among the wanted list throughout the Great Jedi Purge (19 BBY–1 ABY). When Ahsoka and Lux joined the Rebellion, she proclaimed herself a Jedi Knight and influenced the outcome of the Galactic Civil War (2 BBY–19 ABY). One year after the Battle of Yavin, she gave birth to a Togruta-Human hybrid named Marina. After the conflict, she became a member of the New Jedi Order's council. After joining the New Jedi Order, she trained several Padawans, including her own daughter. She also fought in the Yuuzhan Vong War (25–29 ABY), the Swarm War (36 ABY), and the Second Galactic Civil War (40–41 ABY). After participating in these three wars, she helped maintain peace for another ten years before finally retiring from the council. Ahsoka enjoyed sixty-three years of peace with Lux before dying peacefully in her sleep in 114 ABY in her Coruscanti home at the age of 150.
