Ahsoka Tano’s appearance has definitely evolved since her debut in Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/em>, but she\u2019s always sported her distinctive head features. Over the years, many fans have been pretty curious about the scope of their purpose, and Cavan Scott’s new Jaws of Jakku<\/em> audiobook (via ScreenRant<\/em><\/a>) has finally revealed a bit more about them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahsoka belongs to a species called the Togruta, whose head tails have two parts: the lekku (the tails themselves) and the montrals (the upper horn sections). This book, narrated by a Kessurian named Lisa, explains that their montrals have developed the ability to sense movement in the dark, in tune with a kind of echolocation previously hinted at in the Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide<\/a><\/em>. Kessurians sprout spiny montrals above their ears instead of the top of their heads, which apparently makes these senses even more superior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\t
