Ahsoka Tano's White Lightsabers Explained

At the end of The Mandalorian's "Chapter 12: The Heiress," Bo-Katan Kryze teased the impending appearance of a long-awaited character, guiding Mando to a meetup with Ahsoka Tano. In the fifth episode of the season, "Chapter 13: The Jedi," Ahsoka finally showed up.

Rosario Dawson brought Ahsoka to life in the episode, capably bringing the beloved character to live-action for the first time.

Having Ahsoka join the live-action side of the Star Wars universe was every bit as amazing as fans hoped it would be, with the former Jedi Padawan revealing to Mando the truth about Baby Yoda, and the pair storming the city of Calodan on Corvus.

One of the most intriguing elements of Ahsoka's appearance in The Mandalorian of which there are many comes about during her standoff with the Imperial Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth, who offered Mando a beskar spear in exchange for killing Ahsoka.

As the two prepare to duke it out, Ahsoka brandishes two white lightsabers.

Seeing a white lightsaber anywhere in the Star Wars galaxy is unique and would certainly raise some questions, but having a pair of them pop up in The Mandalorian has sparked up a lot of conversation amongst the series' fans. Let's take a dive into Star Wars lore and Ahsoka's backstory to break down what her white sabers really mean.

When she was first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the former Jedi had green lightsabers, but she's been on a significant journey since then.

Ahsoka began as the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, the powerful Jedi Knight whose story turns grim when he betrays everything he once stood for to become the insidious Darth Vader.

There's a lot that happens between the two as Anakin grows increasingly toward the dark side, and Ahsoka becomes alienated from the Jedi path. In the fifth season of The Clone Wars, Ahsoka winds up framed for a deadly explosion at the Jedi Temple, causing her to leave the Jedi Order, though she's later exonerated.

At the end of The Clone Wars, Vader picks up one of the blue lightsabers he gifted to Ahsoka amongst the remains of the crashed Star Destroyer and lights it up before walking away, believing that Ahsoka is dead.

Of course, she's still alive, and when Ahsoka appears in Star Wars: Rebels, she wields different sabers the same white ones seen in The Mandalorian.
