This August 2023, Disney+ is set to release Ahsoka, a riveting limited series that promises to catapult us into an era of galactic exploration and intrigue.

In the teaser trailer for the series, viewers can see Ahsoka saying:

"Something’s coming. Something dark."

The trailer includes glimpses of action and story elements, such as the protagonist in battle against droids, characters wielding red-bladed lightsabers, and a rear-shot of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The series seems to incorporate elements from both Star Wars Rebels and The Mandalorian.

These glimpses, coupled with the overarching plot of Ahsoka Tano investigating a burgeoning threat post-Empire, hint at a narrative filled with action, suspense, and the quintessential elements of Star Wars lore. As the plot unwinds, viewers can anticipate a journey replete with new alliances, formidable enemies, and a riveting exploration of the post-Empire galaxy.

The specifics of the plot and the intricacies of the trailer remain largely undisclosed. The official trailer does not divulge much about the story arc, leaving viewers in anticipation of what's to come.


The galactic gang behind the curtains of Ahsoka

At the heart of the series is Rosario Dawson, reprising her role from The Mandalorian, the former Jedi Padawan and apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. Her portrayal in The Mandalorian set the stage for the upcoming series, promising a stellar performance that will likely eclipse expectations.

Accompanying Dawson in this space-time epic is a galaxy of characters reprised and introduced. Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker, with Natasha Liu Bordizzo stepping into the role of Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian warrior.

Joining them will be Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, a con artist turned Jedi, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, a Twi'lek New Republic general. Notably, Lars Mikkelsen will breathe life into the cunning Grand Admiral Thrawn, a high-ranking officer of the Galactic Empire.

The upcoming series is the brainchild of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. Filoni, who co-created the character Ahsoka Tano, steps in as the writer for this spin-off series.

Having helmed the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, Filoni's expertise in the Star Wars universe is a promising indicator of the quality and continuity of the upcoming series.


With anticipation for the series at an all-time high, the stage is set for a dramatic foray into the chronicles of Ahsoka Tano. The series is an epic waiting to unfold, a tapestry of narratives interwoven with the threads of the past, the present, and the future.

The forthcoming series will be an enthralling addition to the Star Wars canon, set to debut in August 2023 on Disney+. As it unravels, the series will promise to traverse the uncharted territories of the galaxy, shedding light on unseen corners and undisclosed narratives.
