One of the series Star Wars most awaited by fans, Ahsoka finally had its premiere date revealed. During a dedicated panel during Star Wars Celebration 2023 last weekend, Lucasfilm confirmed that the series dedicated to heroine Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) arrives on Disney+ as early as next August.
The exact date was not disclosed, but it is already a beautiful indication to know that the premiere is already around the corner. In addition, a new trailer was also shown that gives a greater dimension of what is to come, better situating the story of the new series and the type of threat that the former Jedi has to face.
From what has been shown, Ahsoka will take place in the same period of The Mandalorian and continue the appearances that the heroine has already made in the series and in The Book of Boba Fett. That’s because we’ll see her in her hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn, who will be played by Lars Mikkelsen, an actor who had already voiced the villain in the animation. Star Wars Rebels.
From what the trailer indicates, Tano will continue to travel the galaxy in an attempt to bring peace, more specifically by fighting the Empire’s attempts to rebuild. Thus, we will see that Palpatine’s influence is still very much alive in different corners of the universe and that figures like Thrawn himself represent this threat that can rise again at any time.
In addition, we also showed the first look of some very special returns in live-action. In the first pictures of Ahsokasome of the protagonists of Star Wars Rebels appeared in the flesh, with emphasis on the Mandalorian Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and the Twi’lek Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). It is also possible to see the hero Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi) briefly in a communication hologram.

At the same time, it continues the story of one of the most beloved characters by fans since the time of Clone Warsthe series will also explore what happened to the group of Rebels, which also won a good share of the public in its four seasons. It is also worth remembering that we will see Hayden Christensen once again as Darth Vader, probably in flashbacks of the protagonist.
