UNITED STATES: “Star Wars Rebels” fans were in for a treat as the new trailer for “Star Wars: Ahsoka” debuted at Star Wars Celebration in London on April 7.
The trailer shows some of the heroes from the animated series in a live-action version, and it hints at a thrilling adventure against the Imperial forces. The show takes place in the same timeline as “The Mandalorian.” The show will follow the journey of Anakin Skywalker’s former apprentice, Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), as she continues her mission to track down Grand Admiral Thrawn, the infamous Imperial commander.
The teaser shows that Thrawn is back in action, and it even makes a reference to the popular 1990s novels by Timothy Zahn that introduced the character.
The trailer introduces a new threat in a pair of red lightsaber-wielding dark-side Jedi, Baylan (Ray Stevenson), and another whose character’s name remains unconfirmed (played by Ivanna Sakhno).
With the Jedi Order all but wiped out and “something dark” coming, it appears like Ahsoka will be on the front line in the ongoing battle between Jedi and Sith.
The teaser also features familiar faces from the “Star Wars” universe, including a Loth Cat and Huyang, the ancient droid who helped Padawan learners construct their lightsabers in “The Clone Wars.”
We also see the return of Genevieve O’Reilly’s character Mon Mothma. She was a key part of the Rebel Alliance that helped bring down the Empire.
“The Mandalorian” fans will remember Ahsoka’s encounter with Din Djarin and Grogu, aka Baby Yoda, in the show’s second season.
Ahsoka refused to train Grogu and continued her mission to find Thrawn, setting the stage for “Star Wars: Ahsoka.”
The new show is part of a larger plan for the “Star Wars” universe, which also includes “The Mandalorian,” “Skeleton Crew,” and a climactic “cinematic event” movie directed by “Ahsoka” showrunner Dave Filoni.
No matter what happens in “Star Wars: Ahsoka,” the show will have a big impact on the future of the franchise.
“Star Wars: Ahsoka” will air exclusively on Disney Plus, and fans eagerly anticipate its release.
With the new trailer offering a glimpse of the action-packed adventure that awaits, it’s sure to be a must-watch for fans of the “Star Wars” universe.
