A prominent new Jedi has taken Ahsoka Tano's place in the franchise, and it is clear that Disney and Lucasfilm have big plans for their future. Since George Lucas and Dave Filoni created the Clone Wars movie in 2008, a lot of time has been spent fleshing out the character of Ahsoka Tano. Once Lucas finished creating his prequel trilogy and started focusing on The Clone Wars (both the movie and the TV series), it became clear fairly early on that Ahsoka was going to be catapulted into the spotlight. Fast-forward 18 years, and she is still one of Star Wars' biggest and most important characters, even under Disney's rule.While Ahsoka has been one of the focal points of Star Wars since Disney acquired Lucasfilm from Lucas (she has appeared in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Star Wars Rebels, the final season of The Clone Wars, and then her own self-titled series), Disney has now seemingly replaced her with a different alien Jedi character named Devon Izara. Devon was featured prominently in the recently released Maul - Shadow Lord Disney+ series, and while fans understood that she would be a pretty important character in that show, no one expected her to replace one of the most notable Jedi of all time.For a long time, Ahsoka was known as Star Wars' hopeful alien Padawan in the Jedi Order. Devon is strikingly similar to Ahsoka in that regard, as she is a hopeful alien Jedi padawan herself. Of course, in Ahsoka's case, everything came to a head in The Clone Wars Season 5 when Ahsoka left the Jedi Order, meaning she could no longer be classified as a Jedi Padawan. However, Devon followed suit at the end of Maul - Shadow Lord, as she also willingly walked away from the Jedi Order, but more on that later. Read full article on The Direct.
