The full trailer for Ahsoka that was released last week featured some incredible new footage from the upcoming The Mandalorian spin-off, with Star Wars Rebels fans particularly excited at the prospect of what really is shaping up to be a live-action continuation of the beloved animated series.
Creator/showrunner Dave Filoni has previously assured viewers that they don't have to have seen the earlier animated series to enjoy Ahsoka, but Ashley Eckstein - who provided Tano's voice in those shows - highly recommended checking them out first during a recent interview with CinemaBlend.
"I actually recommend to everyone who is excited about the upcoming Ahsoka series, I highly recommend that you take the time to watch The Clone Wars, Rebels and even Tales of the Jedi. Because if you don’t, you’re going to miss out on crucial, crucial backstory that you really need to know to fully enjoy the Ahsoka series, which is so exciting."
The recent teaser included some awesome shots of the titular force-wielder (don't call her a Jedi!) in action, and this new banner that was shared on the show's official social media channels gives us another look at Anakin Skywalker's former apprentice with her dual lightsabers at the ready.
Check out the banner below, along with the new trailer.
Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.
