Star Wars followers have been anxiously awaiting the discharge of Ahsoka, which is able to proceed the story of Rosario Dawson’s titular Jedi. The present, which shall be streamable with a Disney+ subscription, will see the character reunite with outdated allies with the intention to battle the approaching menace of the lengthy absent Grand Admiral Thrawn. We’ve already been handled to footage of the present at this level, however a model new trailer has now arrived – and it’s packed to the brim with cool tidbits. Chief amongst them is the complete reveal of Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn, and he seems completely good within the position. The candy footage additionally poses a serious query about returning Star Wars Rebels character Sabine Wren.
The trailer shortly establishes that Thrawn is constructing fairly a following as he apparently seeks to place himself because the inheritor to the Galactic Empire. His followers appear to incorporate plenty of Imperials in addition to darkish Drive customers and ex-Jedi Shin Hati and Baylan Skoll, who’s performed by the late Ray Stevenson. Whereas a lot of the clip package deal is spent alluding to the elusive grand admiral, he’s ultimately revealed. Up till this level, he’d solely been proven from the again, so this can be a massive second. You’ll be able to see Mikkelsen in character for your self down under:
Except for the villain, viewers additionally get a greater sense of the place Ahsoka Tano stands with sure members of The Ghost crew. That features Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who’s risen inside the ranks of the Insurgent Alliance. There’s additionally Mandalorian Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) who appears to be much less receptive to Tano. However what’s most shocking is that Sabine references Ahsoka as her “grasp” at one level, posing the query of whether or not or not Wren was (or is) a Jedi in coaching.
There are many issues to contemplate right here, and I can’t wait to see how this newest story from the galaxy far, distant performs out. It seems like Thrawn goes to be a pressure (no pun supposed) to be reckoned with, and Rosario Dawson’s fan-favorite heroine goes to want all the assistance she will get.
Ahsoka may have its two-episode premiere on August 23 as a part of the 2023 TV schedule.
