How old is Ahsoka? Age in all Star Wars shows explained

How old is Ahsoka? She’s been part of the Star Wars canon for 15 years, appearing in different movies and TV shows – so, here’s a breakdown of her age across all of her appearances.

Star Wars fans first met Ahsoka in 2008’s The Clone Wars movie, introduced as the “snippy” Padawan to Anakin Skywalker. She’s since become one of the most important figures in the galaxy far, far away, especially after making her debut on Disney+, essentially acting as a link between the prequel trilogy, original trilogy, and the TV shows.

This is the franchise that began with chapters out of chronological order, so keeping tabs on the timeline can be a little bit tricky – especially when you have a character like Ahsoka, who’s made the leap between animation and live-action with different stars portraying her.

Following Episode 5, which featured a young version of Ahsoka as well as Rosario Dawson, some fans are likely wondering: how old is she, really? We’re going to break it down as simply as we possibly can.

How old is Ahsoka in the new show?

Ahsoka is 48 years old in the Disney Plus series.

She was born in 36 BBY (before the Battle of Yavin), as seen in the first episode of Tales of the Jedi, and the new series is believed to take place in 12 ABY (after the Battle of Yavin) – although this is the subject of debate, with Jon Favreau throwing our grasp of the timeline out of the window when he suggested Grogu spent “many years” with Mando before spending two years apart with Luke Skywalker, which contradicts the official Star Wars: Timelines book.

Some people say Ahsoka takes place in 11 ABY, which would make her 47 – believe what you will, but she’s definitely around that age.

How old is Ahsoka in Star Wars?

Ahsoka has a long history in Star Wars, so we’ve listed a number of key moments in her life and her exact age, as well as which movies and shows they take place.

Year	Event	Movie/TV show	Age
36 BBY	Ahsoka’s birth	Tales of the Jedi	0
33 BBY	Plo Koon takes Ahsoka to Coruscant	Tales of the Jedi	3
22 BBY	Ahsoka becomes Anakin’s Padawan	Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)	14
19 BBY	The Siege of Mandalore	Star Wars: The Clone Wars	17
19 BBY	Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order	Star Wars: The Clone Wars	17
18 BBY	Ahsoka defeats an Inquisitor and joins the rebels	Tales of the Jedi	18
3 BBY	Ahsoka fights Darth Vader on Malachor	Star Wars Rebels	33
1 BBY	Ezra Bridger pulls her into the World Between Worlds	Star Wars Rebels	35
4 ABY	Ahsoka returns and teams up with Sabine to find Ezra	Star Wars Rebels	40
12 ABY	Ahsoka works with Hera and Sabine to find Ezra and stop the return of Thrawn	Ahsoka	48

There’s three points to consider. Firstly, when she was transported to the World Between Worlds and reinserted into the timeline, saved from certain death at the hands of Darth Vader, she technically didn’t age – if you’re 25 years old and you jumped 100 years into the future, would that make you 125, or a 25-year-old who time-travelled 100 years? This is pure pedantry, admittedly, so it’s easier to say she’s two years older.

Secondly, the epilogue in Star Wars Rebels has since been retconned by the new series. We got a do-over of that moment when she recruited Sabine again, but she became Ahsoka the White under different circumstances in Episode 5.

Thirdly, her voice – that of Ashley Eckstein, the character’s original actor – can be heard in The Rise of Skywalker as Jedi call out to her. That takes place in 35 ABY, which would place her in her 70s. She’s most likely dead by that point in the timeline, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
