From the Star Wars wiki, which I am not going to call Wookieepedia 'cause I’m too saditty:

[  
[QUOTE=what did I just say]  
The title of Jedi Master was the highest formal rank obtainable by a member of the Jedi Order. Reserved for those who had shown exceptional devotion and skill as well as balance in the Force and often combat, only individuals who had been given the rank of Master could sit on the Jedi High Council, with few exceptions (such as Anakin Skywalker and Ki-Adi-Mundi), or any of the three other Councils.[1]

According to the site not called Wookipedia about Order 66:

> [@](#):
>
> The majority of the Jedi across the galaxy fell victim to Order 66. Specifically targeted were the leaders of the Order: the Jedi Council. Masters for immediate execution, Knights were to be detained or executed, while **Padawans were to be detained for interrogation**.

So she shouldn’t be killed by a clone trooper.

> [@](#):
>
> It was said that fewer than one hundred Jedi—approximately one percent of the entire Order—survived Order 66. However, it appeared that that was incorrect, as the number seemed to actually be above one hundred (close to two hundred).

She may have been one of the few survivors or she was detained.

So maybe she is detained and then later killed for being useless.

Or maybe she survived and hid like Yoda. Possible going to a nice little blue planet and falls in love with a certain smurf.

Or maybe she decides to stick by Anakin even though he is turning to the dark side and then Ol’ Palpy has her killed to further turn Annie.

I also like Tengu’s idea.

On the topic of if Order 66 was preproggrammed or not Lucas says no.

She survives, goes into exile until many years later. She is hiding out on a planet in the far reaches of the galaxy. A force-sensitive dude and his hottie pilot girlfriend arrive to resupply after dropping off some “cargo” on Dantooine. After talking for a while they then team up to take on the Empire on their own.

The Ahsoka character is not really mentioned in episode III that I know of, so I would assume that she has died prior to the events in Episode III. Meaning that she probably was not killed by Anakin or Clone troopers as they had not gone over to the other side until the end of Episode III. I’m guessing that she gets killed by General Grievous or somebody in the series finale.

How much of it have you seen? I’ve heard it’s not the best show for a while, but then it gets really good. It takes a half-season or so to grow the beard, so to speak. Though granted I haven’t seen it myself.

Half a season sounds about right. I was fortunate in that the first episodes I saw were “Jedi Crash” and “Defenders of Peace” – thirteenth & fourteenth of a 22-episode season – and they were made of awesome. You can watch them on youtube.

But the show’s even better in the fourth season. Story arcs centering on the Clone Troopers are especially good.

So there I was two weekends ago. Disney. Star Wars Weekend!

Woot.

And in one of the skits they have Ahsoka training ‘Padawan Candidates’. Kids from the audience and so forth. There’s a woman in the full Ahsoka kit showing them how to swing lightsabers and so forth.

Suddenly VADER CRASHES THE PARTY! He attempts to seduce the candidates to the dark side!

Me, yelling: Ahsoka! Don’t you have some unfinshed business with him?

Her: ???

Ah, well. At least I tried.

Seriously, Ahsoka and Vader on the same stage? There’s some SERIOUS things to work out there.

I like that they at least put some thought into it–I saw the Disney show a few years ago and it was a generic Jedi.

Except that what \*\*Jonathan Chance \*\*describes is the reverse of thoughtfulness. It would be like doing a Star Trek show in which Spock was a hotheaded romantic, Kirk was a sentimental pacifist, and McCoy was the balance between them.

In the Director’s Cut she gets her kit off. 😃
