And various other Rebels characters like Zeb and Rex seem liable to at least cameo. Genevieve O'Reilly will be reprising her Andor role of Chancellor Mon Mothma. Who’s in the cast?įrom the trailers it’s clear we’ll have a whole heap of Rebels veterans leaping into live-action, notably Lars Mikkelsen’s Thrawn, Eman Esfandi ’s Ezra, streetwise Mandalorian Sabine Wren ( Natasha Liu Bordizzo ), heroic pilot Hera Syndulla ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead ), and droid Chopper, a sort of sociopath version of R2-D2. Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) Any news on the actual plot?Īt the end of Rebels, the show’s hero Ezra Bridger – a young Jedi – made the ultimate sacrifice by flinging himself and the show’s main antagonist Grand Admiral Thrawn far beyond the boundaries of the Star Wars galaxy, with no apparent way to get back.įrom the trailers, Ahsoka would seem to concern the title character’s efforts to find Ezra and thwart a returned Thrawn, though it seems quite probable that Ezra and Thrawn will be only in fact be background characters. And bear in mind the the Star Wars films literally began with the fourth episode and seem to have done alright. Certainly Dawson’s guest appearance in ‘The Mandalorian’ didn’t leave viewers tearing their hair out in confusion. It’s obvious from the trailer that the show will be littered with Easter eggs, but it should be easy enough to pick up. So how many hours of cartoons am I supposed to watch as prep?
She only really had a secondary role in that, but Dawson has said that this show is effectively Rebels season five… something pretty apparent by the massive numbers of Rebels characters in trailer. Well… after Clone Wars, Ahsoka was in yet another cartoon: Rebels, which followed the adventures of the Ghost crew, a ragtag band of, uh, rebels getting up to rebel stuff in the years prior to the first Star Wars film. You don’t really need to know anything about the Togruta. She is a total badass who fights with two white lightsabers, which she sometimes ignites by firing them into each other: surely needlessly hazardous, but it does look very cool.Īhsoka is a member of an alien species called the Togruta, although she acts and behaves like a regular human (accepting she can lift stuff with her mind). Played by Rosario Dawson, she made her live-action debut in season 2 of The Mandalorian, and randomly popped up chilling with Luke Skywalker in an episode of The Book of Boba Fett.
Over the course of The Clone Wars, Ahsoka – as voiced by Ashley Eckstein – developed from an irritating teenage sidekick to a complex and troubled character who gets booted out of the Jedi order, but whose innate decency seemed vastly preferable to Yoda and co’s starchy moral code. A major protagonist in the long-running cartoon The Clone Wars, she was introduced in 2008 as the young apprentice (or, if you must, padawan) to Anakin Skywalker, aka the hotheaded young Jedi who would go on to become the nefarious Darth Vader. Who the heck is Ahsoka and why should we care?Īhsoka Tano is the most important Star Wars character that the casual fan – that is to say, somebody who has ‘only’ watched the films – didn’t know existed.
