That said, getting to this point was not an easy journey. The character was introduced in 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/a> \u2013 a precursor to the Disney XD series \u2013 to a mixed initial response.<\/p>\n Viewers were confused that a significant detail like Anakin Skywalker taking a Padawan had been omitted from the prequel trilogy, while the awkward writing of the early Clone Wars adventures certainly didn\u2019t help matters.<\/p>\n Luckily, the show improved as it went along, culminating in a blockbuster trilogy of episodes that revealed how Ahsoka survived the devastating Order 66, which wiped out most of the Jedis across the galaxy.<\/p>\n However, Disney Plus<\/a> series Ahsoka<\/a> catches up with the character much later on \u2013 here\u2019s where it fits on the Star Wars<\/a> timeline.<\/p>\n Ahsoka is set shortly after the events of Episode VI \u2013 Return of the Jedi, with best estimations placing it around 11 ABY\u00a0<\/strong>(a marker that stands for After the Battle of Yavin).<\/p>\n The show is also set after Ahsoka\u2019s recent cameo appearances in The Mandalorian<\/a> and The Book of Boba Fett<\/a>, picking up on easter eggs and references dropped in those shows.<\/p>\n Below, we\u2019ve ordered the recent Star Wars shows on Disney Plus in terms of franchise chronology, including some of the mainline films as reference points.<\/p>\n Here is Ahsoka on the Star Wars timeline:<\/p>\n A big question that demands an answer is where exactly Ahsoka Tano was during the events of the original Star Wars trilogy.<\/p>\n Star Wars: Rebels gives us some insight into what she was up to in the years leading up to A New Hope, but the character\u2019s movements during the greatest struggle against the Empire remain unknown.<\/p>\n In her final appearance on the animated show, Ahsoka is saved from certain death at the hands of her former master, Darth Vader, by a time-travelling Ezra Bridger \u2013 who later goes missing himself in a sacrificial act to subdue Thrawn.<\/p>\n Ever since, she has sought to locate the plucky Padawan, who could be in grave danger. It\u2019s possible that Ahsoka could detail what went on in the years currently unaccounted for.<\/p>\n Ahsoka\u2019s whereabouts are similarly unknown in the sequel trilogy later released by Disney, although her voice can be heard in the final confrontation between Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid).<\/p>\n Some interpreted this as proof that, by this point in the timeline, she has become one with the force, although creator Dave Filoni has hinted that isn\u2019t necessarily the case.<\/p>\n Was thinking of all of you this fine morning, Happy Holidays! When is Ahsoka set on the Star Wars timeline?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
