E. K. Johnston: Ahsoka (2016, Disney book group)
Published Sept. 6, 2016 by Disney book group.
Fans have long wondered what happened to Ahsoka after she left the Jedi Order near the end of the Clone Wars and before she reappeared as the mysterious Rebel operative Fulcrum in Rebels. Finally her story will begin to be told.
Following her experiences with the Jedi and the devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka is unsure she can be part of a larger whole ever again. But her desire to fight the evils of the Empire and protect those who need it will lead her right to Bail Organa - and the Rebel Alliance.
As it remains unsure whether "Ahsoka" is still part of the canon, I cannot exaggerate enough that this is the definite best Star Wars novel, and is one of the truest representations of the titular character.
While I certainly liked Ashoka on the Clone Wars and Rebels, I really wasn't sure I wanted to listen to a whole book about her, though I was interested in what she did between leaving the Jedi order and when we see her in Rebels - and boy was I glad I did listen to this! It was great - she is basically trying to figure out her place in the galaxy since she no longer has that Jedi title, but in the end, you can say she still is a Jedi regardless. This shows how she figures that out, gets her lightsabers, and the end we see how she gets the Fulcrum name and works with the rebels. Just really great stuff!
