Ahsoka | Teaser Trailer | Disney+

In the clip, we get our first look at Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla. There are plenty of space battles and lightsaber duels, teasing a similar feel to The Mandalorian. Since it takes place in the same post-Return of the Jedi time period, this makes sense. In addition to Ahsoka’s hunt for Thrawn, there’s a very mysterious tone to the video, with the title character saying, “Something’s coming. Something dark. I sense it.”

As I previously stated, Ahsoka is one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars universe. Though it took a while for fans to connect with her, she eventually became someone we couldn’t help but root for. She’s an important role model for Star Wars fans. To have that character played by an amazing woman of color is such an influential moment for the franchise. It’s no secret that the universe hasn’t always been the most welcoming place for actors of color, so to have it continue to grow and evolve with a series like this is beautiful.

Ahsoka is set to premiere on Disney+ in August, so I advise parents to get those Halloween costumes ready now.
