We recently learned that upcoming Disney+ The Mandalorian spin-off, Ahsoka, will premiere on August 31, and Empire Magazine has now shared a new look at the highly-anticipated Star Wars show via its latest covers.
During Star Wars Celebration back in April, we finally got confirmation that Ahsoka will feature the live-action introduction of Star Wars Rebels villain, Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) While his take on the ruthless Chiss officer was shown during an event-exclusive teaser, an official image has yet to be released.
We're going to have to wait a little longer to see Thrawn in all his glory, but this subscriber cover does tease his debut. The news-stand version, meanwhile, gives us an awesome new look at Rosario Dawson's titular force-wielder, igniting her dual lightsabers.
Check out both covers below, and keep an eye on SFFGazette.com for more Ahsoka news over the next few days.
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.
The series stars Rosario Dawson in the title role, with Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn, with Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger.
Kevin Kiner was announced as the series' composer.
