Ahsoka is the latest entry in the Star Wars franchise specially curated for the next generation of fans of the iconic franchise. With the series getting review-bombed and praised for its awesomeness and also how disappointing it was at the same time.
Talking about the Disney+ series, fans have started theorizing several theories and one fan proceeded to drop the hottest take on the series. Stating how Ahsoka was a child soldier, the theory has divided the fandom into two parts.
Ahsoka Fan Drops A Theory That Divided Fandom Into Two!
Depicting the story of Ahsoka Tano played by Rosario Dawson in the series, it deals with Tano exploring the threats to a vulnerable galaxy and some horrible flashbacks of her childhood. Well, Ahsoka received great ratings, but there were several thousands of reviews that stated the opposite.
With theories surrounding the character of Tano, a fan proceeded to drop quite a spectacular theory on his Twitter that from what the live-action scenes depicted Tano was actually a child soldier!
While I’m still a big believer that the Ahsoka show should have been animated, I think due to the tonal direction & art style of the Clone Wars show, it doesn’t hit home the fact that Ahsoka was 100% a child soldier the way seeing it in live action does pic.twitter.com/yrO1OPuOt5

Yea, it’s the first time I went holy crap she really was that young wasn’t she.

That was one of the things that hit me the hardest this episode. Especially when they went to the Siege of Mandalore, I was like ‘Holy shit’. After 7 seasons of Clone Wars spread out over a decade, its easy to forget that Ahsoka was still essentially a child during all of it

Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm had once stated that they wanted to make sure that quality was the only thing that mattered to them. Stating in an interview with IGN that they were ready for the next generation of Star Wars fans to get acquainted with the characters.
“It’s as I said, I think quality is always everything. We want to tell resonating stories that really speak to what Star Wars is. I don’t really want it and none of us want it to become like everything else,” she concluded. “We want it to be something that continues to live up to the expectation that fans have. And that’s the most important to all of us”
