Like most studios, Lucasfilm has given this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con a miss. We'd hoped to learn more about the three Star Wars movies announced at Celebration during the annual event, but the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have seemingly put an end to that notion.
Still, this Galaxy Far, Far Away does have a presence in San Diego and concept art from next month's Ahsoka is currently being displayed on the show floor. There's nothing overly revealing here, though we're sure you'll still appreciate these gorgeous pieces offering a better idea of the look and feel of the series.
Accompanying them are two LEGO sets showcasing some of the ships which will be featured in the live-action Star Wars Rebels follow-up.
Many of you are also going to be excited to learn that Hot Toys has confirmed plans to release 1/6th scale action figures based on the series. An Ahsoka Tano figure is a given, though we're keeping everything crossed for Grand Admiral Thrawn!
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.
