With just seven days to go before Ahsoka launches on Disney+, another new TV spot for the Star Wars Rebels follow-up has been released (via SFFGazette.com). New snippets of footage show Ahsoka Tano confirming that the only way to combat the new threat this Galaxy faces is with the combined power of a Master and Apprentice.
That Apprentice? It's none other than Sabine Wren.
We're still not 100% sure whether the Mandalorian is supposed to be Force-sensitive, though that appears to be the direction Ahsoka is heading in. It's an intriguing move and one we suspect is meant to give the title character the upper hand when facing Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, the orange lightsaber-wielding baddies who may or may not be tied to the Sith but quite clearly serve Grand Admiral Thrawn.
We have to believe that Ahsoka's biggest secrets are being kept under wraps prior to next Wednesday's premiere, though it's only been in recent weeks the focus has shifted to the relationship between the former Jedi and her friend-turned-student.
You can take a look at this new Ahsoka TV spot, along with another featurette, in the players below.
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.
In addition to Rosario Dawson in the title role, the series stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger.
Ahsoka was written by Dave Filoni, who executive produces alongside Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson, and Carrie Beck. Directors include Filoni, Steph Green, Peter Ramsey, Jennifer Getzinger, Geeta Vasant Patel, and Rick Famuyiwa.
Ahsoka will launch exclusively on Disney+ on August 23 with a two-episode premiere.
