Filoni initially struggled with writing Ahsoka because he had "zero perspective" on what it was like to be a 14-year-old girl.<ref name="filonincwit">{{Cite video|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GKUO2JWZW8?t=11m38s |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/_GKUO2JWZW8 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Dave Filoni Speaks at the National Center for Women & Information Technology|date=May 24, 2016|access-date=May 26, 2016|time=11m, 38 s}}{{cbignore}}</ref> He, therefore, shifted his focus and instead wrote Ahsoka primarily as a [[Jedi]] who just happens to be an adolescent female.<ref name="filonincwit"/> Filoni said he "has always had a story in mind" for Ahsoka's overall development.<ref name="swce2016">{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MWqEFW4g90 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/0MWqEFW4g90 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Ashley Eckstein and Dave Filoni Interview {{!}} Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016|date=July 15, 2016|website=[[YouTube]]|access-date=July 15, 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref> He began thinking about the final confrontation between Ahsoka and Vader ever since he started writing material for Ahsoka;<ref>"From{{cite Apprenticeweb to| Adversary:last=Goldman Vader| vs.first=Eric Ahsoka| featurette" from ''title=Star Wars Rebels'' season 2 Blu-ray Clip Explores the Darth Vader vs. PreviewAhsoka clipTano includingDuel line| availablewebsite=IGN via| httpdate=26 August 2016 | url=https://mwww.ign.com/articles/2016/08/26/star-wars-rebels-blu-ray-clip-explores-the-darth-vader-vs-ahsoka-tano-duel.{{Bare url| inline|access-date=27 January 2024}}</ref> different iterations had different endings,<ref name="fatesfulfilled1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.starwars.com/news/dave-filoni-interview-star-wars-rebels-season-two-part-1|title=Fates Fulfilled: Dave Filoni Reflects on Star Wars Rebels Season Two, Part 1|last=Brooks|first=Dan|date=August 30, 2016|website=StarWars.com|publisher=[[Lucasfilm]]|access-date=September 16, 2016}}</ref> including one in which Vader kills Ahsoka just as she slashes open his helmet to reveal his scarred face.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-art-that-inspired-ahsoka-and-darth-vaders-epic-duel-1786636507|title=The Art That Inspired Ahsoka and Darth Vader's Epic Duel in Star Wars Rebels|last=Whitbrook|first=James|date=September 14, 2016|website=[[io9.com]]|publisher=[[Univision Communications]]|access-date=September 16, 2016}}</ref>

Ashley Eckstein, who primarily voiced Ahsoka, said she and the writers were aware that audiences initially found the character annoying, and that there was a "fine line" between Ahsoka being bratty and becoming endearing. Because production was a year ahead of what was broadcast, with Ahsoka developing over that time, Eckstein implored fans to be patient with the character's growth.<ref name="ecksteinsw.com">{{Cite web|url=https://www.starwars.com/news/from-the-clone-wars-to-rebels-ashley-eckstein-on-ahsoka-tanos-journey|title=From The Clone Wars to Rebels: Ashley Eckstein on Ahsoka Tano's Journey|last=Brooks|first=Dan|date=March 30, 2016|website=StarWars.com|publisher=[[Lucasfilm]]|access-date=May 20, 2016}}</ref>
