Yesterday, Empire debuted a pair of awesome Ahsoka covers (check them out here), and the mag has now shared a new still from the upcoming Disney+ Star Wars show, once again spotlighting Rosario Dawson as the fan-favorite force-wielder.
This series will spin-out of the events of The Mandalorian, but it will also serve as a live-action follow-up to Star Wars Rebels, with the titular warrior reuniting with the likes of Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla.
In a new interview, showrunner/writer Dave Filoni revealed that Ahsoka will be very much a loner when we catch up with her, and while she is strong in the force, she still doesn't consider herself a Jedi.
“She’s a wanderer at this point, and is in a lot of ways wary of any organisation as such because of the power that comes with it as a group. She walks a path that basically died out a long time ago,” he explains. “And there aren’t many like her left, if any. So that’s a lonely thing. What is that life like? If you are a loner, you have a very small circle of friends. What is it like, then, when you try to open back up?”
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.
Ahoska is written by executive producer Dave Filoni, alongside executive producers Favreau, Kennedy, Wilson, and Beck. Gilchrist is co-executive producer. The series’ directors include Filoni, Steph Green, Peter Ramsey, Jennifer Getzinger, Geeta Vasant Patel and Rick Famuyiwa.
