Character Design: Finding the Look of Ahsoka Tano

Ahsoka first appeared in a 2005 sketch by Dave Filoni. In that pencil sketch, she was just a shy Togruta girl peeking out from beneath her oversized Jedi hood.

Audiences wouldn’t meet the character for another THREE YEARS, and over that time she tried on different costumes and facial markings and had her named changed from Ashla, before the team arrived at the version that made it to Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie.

Believe it or not, her final look was greatly influenced by San in Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke.

An early maquette had more angular features, but George Lucas voiced some concerns over her larger alien head, suggesting softening her features to make her more relatable. This gave us the final – and much loved – Ahsoka Tano!
