For advocates of strong female characters and more diversity in storytelling, watching and critiquing The Clone Wars became an exercise in hope for the future of Star Wars. She might grow into a memorable heroine in her own right, or she could serve as a temporary, forgettable sidekick whose death could accelerate his ultimate fall to the dark side. After Padme’s demise in Revenge of the Sith, fans wondered whether Anakin Skywalker’s new Padawan was doomed to a similar tragic fate. When Ahsoka Tano’s journey began in The Clone Wars, however, it wasn’t clear that her personal story would map out to a heroic arc. Princess Leia, Padme, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Han Solo also grow and change across the saga. Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin, follow mirrored versions of the Hero’s Journey, one triumphant and one tragic. In the Star Wars films, the principal protagonists progress through character arcs that define them as heroes.
