“Something’s coming, something dark, I can sense it”
The first day of Star Wars Celebration London is drawing to an end, and while most of the Disney+ series trailers were screened only for attendees, Lucasfilm did officially release the first teaser for Ahsoka online (via SFFGazette.com).
The footage reintroduces Rosario Dawson as fan-favorite force-wielder Ahsoka Tano, who made her live-action debut in The Mandalorian.
We see Ahsoka reunite with Star Wars Rebels characters Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and Chopper the droid, and we also get a quick glimpse of Rebels villain Grand Admiral Thrawn (who is seemingly being positioned as the "Heir to the Empire").
The blue-skinned baddie won't be the only threat our heroes will face, however, as Ray Stevenson can be seen wielding a red lightsaber and taking a page out of Darth Vader's Sith playbook with a force-choke. This guy's identity still hasn't been disclosed, but consider us intrigued!
Eman Esfandi is also on board as Ezra Bridger, but he doesn't feature in this trailer.
“I’ve had so many pinch me moments, even on the last day of shooting, when we turn the lightsabers on and I’m in the world of Star Wars,” Dawson told the fans in attendance. “I'm poised and ready, because if this does well we’re going to get a second season.”
Check out the trailer below along with a poster, and let us know what you think.
Ahsoka is set to premiere on Disney+ this August.
