Everyone is excited to finally see Ahsoka being cool in her own live-action streaming series. But just how powerful is Ahsoka Tano?

What Are Ahsoka's Powers and Abilities?
Ahsoka is very strong in the Force and has all the powers normally associated with the Jedi.
This means that she's deeply connected with the world around her and with other Force users.
She's able to use the mind trick we've seen many Jedi perform, which allows her to persuade others to do her bidding.
Moreover, she can use telekinesis during battle to push or pull using the Force.
Like other Jedi, the Force allows Ahsoka to see visions of the past and future, though these aren't always clear enough to be useful.
Her combat and lightsaber skills are also impressive.
How Powerful Is Ahsoka?
While it's difficult to compare her to every single Jedi pre-Order 66, Ahsoka is definitely one of the most powerful Jedi of her time, if not the most powerful.
Ahsoka fought in the Clone Wars beside Obi-Wan and Anakin despite being only a teenager at the time and she was able to hold her own against the Sith lord Darth Maul.
More importantly, she's among the few Jedi to survive Order 66.
What makes this feat even more impressive is that she even managed to break one of the clones, Rex, out of his conditioning.
Why Is Ahsoka So Powerful?
There is no profound reason why Ahsoka is so powerful other than talent, hard work, and training from the likes of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan, and Yoda.
From a biological perspective, one might also attribute her powers to a high midi-chlorian count; the higher the count, the stronger one's affinity to the Force.

Is Ahsoka Stronger Than Anakin?
When Ahsoka became Anakin's apprentice, he was considered the Chosen One, with unseen-before powers, so she's probably not stronger than him.
But the fact that she was chosen as his padawan speaks volumes.
Yoda specifically planned for Ahsoka to be Anakin's apprentice to teach him responsibility. For that, he needed a padawan with abilities close to his own.
Rebels strongly implies that Ahsoka wouldn't have survived her duel with Darth Vader if Ezra hadn't pulled her away from him into the Jedi temple.
This suggests that Anakin was stronger even after his prime.
Of course, while Anakin might have been stronger physically, Ashoka was likely more powerful in other ways.
Having grown into maturity without ever being tempted by the dark side, Ahsoka is definitely wiser, with a stronger will.
Is Ahsoka Stronger Than Luke Skywalker?
Since we haven't seen Ahsoka and Luke fight together or against each other, this is harder to answer.
Luke is potentially a little stronger in the Force due to genetics, being Anakin's son.
But, even by the end of Luke's arc in Return of the Jedi, Ahsoka is probably better trained.
Ahsoka learned how to be a Jedi when the order was still glorious and studied for years among the best masters since she was a child whereas Luke was already a young adult when he found out about his Jedi powers.
Luke's more limited training leads us to believe that Ahsoka could beat him in a battle.
Hopefully, Ahsoka will give us plenty of opportunity to see the titular character's cool abilities!
