Ahsoka Tano is one of the popular characters from the Star Wars expanded universe that is fast becoming a fan-favourite. This comes as no surprise as the Togruta female has had quite the character development, and her fiery personality, unwavering loyalty to friends, and impressive dueling skills only serve to make her all the more remarkable.
One of the things that make Ahsoka Tano such an outstanding character is her proficiency when it comes to wielding two lightsabers – a feat most Jedi find too tasking and dangerous. The unique white colour of her twin lightsabers is also incredibly rare, thus making it very eye-catching and fascinating to fans.
In this piece, we shall be taking a look at why Ahsoka Tano wields two lightsabers and why you need to add replica Ahsoka Tano lightsabers to your Star Wars collection.
Why Does Ahsoka Tano Wield Two Lightsabers?
As a young Padawan learner under the tutelage of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano trained with a single green-bladed lightsaber, which she often wielded in a reverse grip that was quite different from the standard way the Jedi were taught to grip lightsabers. As her dueling skills continued to improve, her Master Anakin, gifted her a second shorter (shoto-type) lightsaber, which she began to wield as a secondary weapon. The short length of this second shoto blade improved her flexibility and ability to defend against attacks from all sides. You can see the progression of her lightsabers here.
Her twin lightsabers also allowed her to practice the fighting form known as Jar’Kai, which involves the dual-wielding of lightsabers. Although it took some time for Ahsoka to master this fighting form, Master Yoda encouraged her to continue to train with two lightsabers as he believed that Jar’Kai was the form that best captured her fighting style and personality.
