As we get further into the series she had believed Anakin had died in the fall of the Jedi; however, she has a vision of Anakin blaming her for his fall to the dark side. She eventually comes to find Anakin, who is now Darth Vader and duels him. After the events of Rebels, not much is know about her whereabouts, which is expected to be told in the aforementioned spinoff series. Ashley Eckstein voices Tano in both series and will return for the animated spinoff.
