Though Aurra Sing was believed killed in the crash, Ahsoka was plagued by strange visions in the Force of Sing killing Senator Padmé Amidala. Ahsoka had ample reason to doubt her premonitions, but she kept at Padmé's side as the Senator voyaged to Alderaan to make an important speech. Together, Ahsoka and Padmé stayed a step ahead of Aurra Sing, capturing the hunter before she could complete her assignment.

Ahsoka had come to know the Separatists only as mortal enemies, never stopping to consider the Separatist civilians until an eye-opening undercover mission to the Confederacy capital on Raxus. She saw that many were simply former Republic citizens who wanted to be free of the corruption of Coruscant. Ahsoka made friends with Lux Bonteri, a young man who likewise had his opinions of the Jedi and the Republic reshaped by meeting face-to-face with the "enemy."

On the mysterious world of Mortis, a planet strong in the Force, Ahsoka experienced another disturbing vision of the future, but this one far more personal. She spoke with an image of her older, adult self, who warned her that if she continued to serve beside Skywalker, her future may not come to pass.

Mortis was a trial for Anakin and Ahsoka. While Anakin came to discover his destiny as the Chosen One, Ahsoka was corrupted by a powerful Force wielder known only as the Son, who had great control over the dark side of the Force. He possesed Ahsoka and used her to attack Anakin, in the hopes of pushing Skywalker further to the dark side. Thankfully, the effects of the Son's spell faded in time.

While on assignment on Felucia, Ahsoka was kidnapped by Trandoshan hunters. She was dumped on a jungle island on the moon of Wasskah, and was hunted for sport. Among the prey were Jedi younglings who had been lost in the jungles for far too long. They had begun to lose hope, but Ahsoka's presence gave them new focus.

Along with fellow captive and new friend Chewbacca, Ahsoka led the younglings in a revolt against the Trandoshans. She had truly grown into a leader and was able to think creatively -- thanks to Anakin’s training.

Ahsoka was chosen to escort a group of younglings to Ilum, where they partook in the Gathering: a Jedi rite of passage in which one builds their first lightsaber.

While Ahsoka had become a hero of the Clone Wars, her fate took an unexpected turn. She was framed for the bombing of the Jedi Temple, and later, cold-blooded murder. As a result, the Jedi Order expelled her, and she escaped from prison to clear her name.

While resourceful and determined, Ahsoka walked from one trap into another, and was eventually apprehended. Anakin never stopped believing in her innocence, however, and eventually discovered that Padawan Barriss Offee was the true culprit.

All charges against Ahsoka were dismissed, but her faith in the Jedi was shaken. She refused their offer to rejoin the Order, and instead walked away in search of a new direction.

As the Empire grew in power, Ahsoka found a new cause in Bail Organa’s fledgling Rebel Alliance. Insurgent cells such as Hera Syndulla’s knew Ahsoka only as Fulcrum, a source of valuable intelligence in their struggles against the Empire.

The Lothal rebels rescued Kanan Jarrus from Grand Moff Tarkin and the Inquisitor, escaping thanks to timely intervention from a rebel task force that included their own transport, the Ghost. But who was flying the Ghost? The answer: Ahsoka. Shedding the code name Fulcrum, she told the rebels that there had been a change of protocol, with rebel cells beginning to work together to fight the Empire.
