We Especially Didn’t Like… That a Queer Character Was Seemingly Erased In the Process
In the case of Ahsoka and “Resolve,” this overriding means that the Tales version of the story doesn’t give time to one of the first queer characters in the Disney canon: Kaedan Larte, who expresses an explicit romantic attraction to Ahsoka as they get to know each other in book. Her role in “Resolve” is taken by a character only named as “Village Sister,” and while this could be Kaedan, any romantic connection to Ahsoka is rendered at best subtextual, and at worst erased altogether. “Resolve” is just 13 minutes long, and couldn’t condense an entire 350-page novel into its story. But it really sucks that this version of this tale left Kaedan on the wayside, or rather decided that she ultimately wasn’t worth mentioning when it came to Ahsoka’s narrative.
