Disney+ revealed the first teaser trailer for ‘Star Wars: Ahsoka’ during the Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, today. Starring Rosario Dawson in the leading role of Ahsoka Tano, ‘Star Wars: Ahsoka’ will release in August 2023.
“Something’s coming. Something dark,” Ahsoka says at the beginning of the trailer. “I sense it.” The teaser trailer (watch above) is filled with interesting glimpses of action and story, including Ahsoka in a fight against droids, characters wielding red-bladed lightsabers, Mon Mothma, a rear-shot of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the ancient droid Huyang. The trailer, which clearly incorporates elements from the beloved Star Wars Rebels animated series and The Mandalorian, stars Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and our favorite grumpy droid, Chopper, among others.
Ahsoka is a Star Wars spinoff series set within the timeline of The Mandalorian. Ahsoka Tano was a female Togruta who served as Anakin Skywalker's Padawan learner and a Clone Wars hero. She evolved from a passionate student to a mature leader alongside Anakin. But her destiny was not the same as the Jedi's. Ahsoka is on a quest for the evil Grand Admiral Thrawn in the hopes of finding the lost Ezra Bridger, a young Jedi who vanished with Thrawn many years ago.
Rosario Dawson is leading the series as Ahsoka Tano after appearing in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, previously. Savannah Steyn is playing the younger version of Ahsoka. Hayden Christensen is also reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker and the Sith Lord Darth Vader. The cast also includes Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, Ivanna Sakhno, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Ray Stevenson, among others.
The limited series is developed by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, who has written the series and also directed a few episodes including the first one. Peter Ramsey has also directed a couple of episodes in the series.
