New ‘Ahsoka’ Trailer Teases Action Packed Space Battles and the Return of Thrawn
A new Ahsoka trailer is here, and it is packed with space battles and lightsaber duels. Plus, the first look at Thrawn’s face.
It’s been 15 years since her debut on The Clone Wars, it’s time for Ahsoka to lead her own series. She’s seen her master turn to the dark side, aided the rebellion, joined the crew of the Ghost, and traveled in the World Between Worlds. In her first solo series, she journeys back to Sabine to make things right.
Ahsoka has to team up with the Ghost’s crew again to make good on a promise made to Sabine Wren at the end of Rebels – to find Ezra Bridger. The young Jedi made a heartbreaking sacrifice that left him lost in the vast galaxy. Natasha Liu Bordizzo (live-action Sabine) said this about the Mandalorian warrior’s motivation…
“She feels an obligation to him. When they freed Lothal, she was given this hero status. But she doesn’t feel that she’s earned that because she lost her friend in that whole debacle. She’s just focused on the promise she made to him to find him.”

New Ahsoka Trailer
Along with revealing more of the plot and space battles, the new Ahsoka trailer gives a better look at Baylan and Shin. The story behind these two mysterious force-wielders isn’t known. Based on their lightsabers and power-hungry attitudes, some theorize that they’re a master and apprentice from the dark side of the force.
This trailer also includes the first look at the face of Lars Mikkelsen’s live-action Thrawn. I’m not sure what to think of it – let me know your thoughts in the comments.
