The episode titled 'The Jedi' sees her take on the Magistrate in order to gain some information while Mando/Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) lands on Corvus in search of her.

"I’ll say it again Dave Filoni is the only one at Lucasfilm who understands what Star-wars really is. Such an awesome episode #TheMandalorian #AhsokaTano" read one of the many tweets that were all in awe of the episode and Tano.

"It took me a minute to get use to the voice but as the ep progressed I started to luv Rosario as Ahsoka. She matched Ashley's cadences& chill tone plus her drip had me reelin! I still can't believe #TheMandalorian got soo sweaty this week! #AhsokaTano" read one of the comments.

"Those sons & daughters of bitches did it. Ahsoka Tano in #TheMandalorian Seriously whata dream come true to finally see yo fav animated character brought to life in such an outstanding way. Dave u did good by our gurl& Rosario Dawson was great as #AhsokaTano, like really good imo" wrote a fan.

"Just finished watching Ch 13 of #TheMandalorian ! Loved the Akira Kurosawa vibes. Well done @dave_filoni and @rosariodawson #StarWars #AhsokaTano"

Rosario Dawson had a whopping force of accolades heading her way. "@rosariodawson Thank you so much for doing our girl Ahsoka justice. I'm still absolutely stunned!!! You have probably made millions of fanboys and fangirls lose their collective minds with this portrayal! #AhsokaTano #TheMandalorian"

"What an amazing episode! There was so much depth and bringing back old lore! We are on our way to Tython! #AhsokaTano was awesome played by @rosariodawson but her top lekku was short and we know baby Yoda’s name! #grogu #TheMandalorian," a fan seconded. 

"I’m speechless, that was unbelievable and that’s what Star Wars should be. Dave Filoni and Jon Favoreau should always hold the keys to anything Star Wars. #Mandalorian #AhsokaTano." remarked a fan.

Tano has a rich history in the 'Star Wars' universe as a former padawan central in creating a network of various rebel cells against the Galactic Empire after the Clone Wars. Tano, a Togruta female was brought to the Jedi Temple by Plo Koon and assigned by Jedi master Yoda to be the Padawan learner of their skilled knight, Anakin Skywalker.
