A brand new Ahsoka video for Lucasfilm‘s next Disney+ series has been revealed. It provides fans with a recap of Rosario Dawson’s Star Wars journey. Dawson recalls going from popular fan-cast choice to her debut as the titular Jedi in The Mandalorian Season 2.
The video also highlights the beloved character’s legacy since her debut in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Ahsoka is scheduled to premiere on August 23 — exclusively on Disney.
“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,” reads the official description.
Ahsoka is written by Dave Filoni, who is executive producing along with Jon Favreau and Kathleen Kennedy. Joining Dawson are Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll and Wes Chatham, with Obi-Wan Kenobi star Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker and Andor actress Genevieve O’Reilly.
It has also been confirmed that Lars Mikkelsen — voice of Thrawn in Star Wars Rebel — has joined the series to portray the fan-favorite villain in live-action. In addition, Temuera Morrison has reportedly joined Ahsoka to portray the live-action version of Captain Rex.
