War is inevitable. Former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano is on a mission or two in the latest Star Wars series Ahsoka, and she’s got to bring along some old friends.
Lucasfilm released the official trailer for the series, which stars Rosario Dawson as Tahno, who debuted in the role in The Mandalorian. She is hunting for Grand Admiral Thrawn, played by Lars Mikkelsen, reprising his role from Star Wars Rebels, hoping it will lead her to Ezra Bridger, who disappeared with him at the end of that series. Both are making their live action debuts, with Bridger being played by Eman Esfandi. Baylan Skoll, played by the late Ray Stevenson, seems to be going around killing in search of power. Hera Syndulla, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, laments spending so much of her life fighting the Empire, and is desperately pleading for assistance from the New Republic council. Meeting up with Ahsoka, they reunite with Sabine Wren, played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo, She realizes that she left her behind just like she did Anakin, leaving her training incomplete. A message from Ezra emphasizes their mission as they go off to find him and stop Thrawn, whose face is revealed for the first time in marketing. Once a Rang—Rebel, always a rebel.
