Why Hello (Star) World and all that!

October 13, 2023

I did not know how/where to start the blog so I thought this piece of information would be good enough:

About Ahsoka, the character in the Clone Wars, and well, AHSOKA -

Ahsoka was created by George Lucas and Dave Filoni.[2] The character was developed to illustrate how Anakin Skywalker develops from the brash, undisciplined Padawan apprentice in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) to the more reserved Jedi Knight in Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005).[3] Lucas, who had two daughters, also wanted the character to appeal to girls.[4] Early in development, Ahsoka's name was "Ashla".[5][a] Lucas renamed her after the ancient Indian emperor Ashoka; the spelling was then altered by screenwriter Henry Gilroy.[7]  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahsoka_Tano)

and Twitter: 

'In honor of #CloneWars 10th, the title page for the series bible I wrote back in 05. When we met with George to discuss the bible he changed Anakin's Padawan from 'Ashla' to 'Ashoka', after the Indian Emperor of the Maurya Dynasty. I later tweaked it to Ahsoka to make her unique.'
