For those wondering “Why does Anakin call Ahsoka ‘Snips’?” in the new Disney Plus episode, here’s a full explanation of the funny nickname and what it means. While it’s said at the end of Ahsoka episode 4, it’s also frequently used in The Clone Wars animated content.
Why is Ahsoka called “Snips” by Anakin Skywalker?
Ahsoka is called “Snips” by Anakin because she was initially snippy and impatient. The nickname stuck and Anakin has called it her ever since.
Greener Star Wars fans may be confused by the nickname as it sounds nothing like “Ahsoka” or “Tano,” with nicknames usually being a simple shortening of one’s name. With “Snips,” the nickname refers to Ahsoka’s personality.
Ahsoka doesn’t appear particularly fond of the nickname Anakin gives her.
Why does Anakin say “Hello Snips” to Ahsoka in the Disney Plus show?
Anakin says “Hello Snips” to Ahsoka in the Disney Plus show because it is the nickname he uses for her in The Clone Wars animated content.
For fans of the animated content, hearing Anakin call Ahsoka “Snips” will be very exciting. The move from animated to live-action can often be jarring for the audience, so little references like this help to tie everything together.
With Anakin reintroduced in the Ahsoka series, you can expect plenty of other references to the adventures that the two shared. With Ahsoka being Anakin’s padawan for a lengthy time, the two have many memories together. Longtime fans will no doubt appreciate all upcoming Easter eggs and nods to The Clone Wars, so hopefully “Snips” is just the beginning.
