Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano must rally support to stop Grand Admiral Thrawn from waging war within the galaxy in the new trailer for Star Wars: Ahsoka.
Lucasfilm released the trailer Tuesday, giving audiences a look at the upcoming Disney+ series and teasing that in order for Ahsoka Tano to keep peace in the galaxy, she’ll need to reconnect with Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo). The pair were previously separated during the animated series Star Wars Rebels.
While there are mentions of Anakin Skywalker, Hayden Christensen doesn’t make an appearance in the trailer. He is set to reprise his role in the series, as he is Ahsoka’s former master and mentor. But, the trailer does provide a shot of Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Watch the full trailer above. Star Wars: Ahsoka launches on Disney+ on August 23.
Set after the fall of the Empire, Star Wars: Ahsoka follows the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. The character was co-crated by George Lucas and Dave Filoni and made her debut as the Jedi apprentice and foil of Anakin Skywalker in the animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and also starred in Star Wars: Rebels. Both of those animated series were co-created Filoni. She is from the alien species Togruta, who are known for their large montrals and head tails, and colorful pigments. Dawson made the live-action debut of Ahsoka Tano during the second season of Disney+’s The Mandalorian.
In addition to Dawson in the title role, Ahsoka stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn and Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger.
The series is written by Dave Filoni, who executive produces alongside Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson, and Carrie Beck. Karen Gilchrist is co-executive producer.
