The Ahsoka in this book is not the same Ashoka as the one in the Clone Wars that we all know and love. But surviving a war, leaving the only family you know, and then hearing they've all been brutally slaughtered can change a person. As we begin this action-filled story, we find former Jedi padawan Ashoka Tano carving out a miserable existence on the remote planet Thabeska, posing as Ashla, a mechanic who works hard and doesn't ask questions. But when the empire reaches its hand to the remote Thabeska, Ahsoka fearfully runs. She finds an almost-home on Radaa, a non-exciting farming moon that seems obscure enough. Until the Imperials decide to land on the planet and take over, taking Ashoka by surprise. She is torn between revealing herself and pretending to be Ashla. She and her new family must decide whether to rebel or to watch as everything and everyone they love is destroyed. After reading this book, I don't feel like it can stand on its own. I would love to see it become a series, like some of the other Star Wars series I've read. Star Wars: Ashoka didn't lack any of the grit and harsh reality of how cruel the empire truly is, and I liked it for that. This book was a really interesting read that I recommend to all Star Wars fans!

In this book, Ahsoka by E. K. Johnston, you’ll find out where her location is and what happened to her. The setting takes place right after order 66 and takes place on Raada. First thing you should know is she is alive. Another thing is she’s been trying to find the crystals that make a lightsaber active and alive, but first she lands on a moon called Raada. She meets a family that will soon be torn apart. The main antagonist in the book is the empire, and the protagonist is Ahsoka. First conflict, and central theme of all Star Wars genres is, good (The Rebellion) versus evil (The Empire).
