A rant here because I can't rant anywhere else. Regarding the Star Wars Series "Ahsoka". [View all]

What drives me crazy? People spelling her name "Ashoka".

I can't fathom for a single moment why anyone would do that. the character of Ahsoka Tano debuted in the 2008 animated film "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", and became a regular in the TV animated series of the same name. She has also appeared in the animated series "Star Wars: Rebels" and also in the live action Disney Star Wars series "The Mandalorian" and "The Book Of Boba Fett".

In none of those screen appearances, at any time, has any character ever called her "Ashoka". In none of the official promotional materials has her name ever been spelled "Ashoka".

Why in the name of bleeding Jesus do people continue to insist on spelling her name "Ashoka"?

Fifteen years is a long time to continue to spell something incorrectly when the correct spelling is absolutely everywhere.
