* WordOfGay: [[https://twitter.com/ek_johnston/status/1230978460165734401?s=20 According to E.K. Johnson on her Twitter]], Ahsoka ''does'' like Kaeden more than in the platonic sense, although due to her emotion suppression issues from her Jedi training as well as her PTSD and being too focused on hiding from the Empire, she's confused on how to act on them. Johnson deliberately refuses to label her sexuality/orientation so that readers could interpret it as they see fit, but for all intents and purposes, Ahsoka is queer.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Ahsoka's [[AmbiguouslyBi implied attraction]] to Kaeden was kept ambiguous because of this. While EK Johnston hasn't come outright and said anything about it, she did say that Ahsoka was not her character so she couldn't decide that, is very supportive of people shipping the two, and said the book had a "corporately truncated romance", giving the impression that she would have gone farther with the relationship if she could have.

* DevelopmentGag: Ahsoka's nickname "Ashla" was one of her conceptual names for ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''.
