Two new Ahsoka stills from the latest issue of Empire Magazine have found their way online, and this time they spotlight one of the Star Wars Rebels characters who'll be making their live-action debut in the show, Hera Syndulla.
In a recent interview, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead spoke about her first trip to the Galaxy Far, Far Away, and explained why being able to use Rebels' take on the character as a reference point was so beneficial.
"Having a character who's already existed and has such a rich history on something like Rebels, as an actor, it's incredible. Because sometimes we're tasked with creating our own backstories or trying to flesh out a character that doesn't really have that much on the page. And so to play a character that has season after season of storylines and complex histories with everyone in their life and relationships and experiences was really something I've never experienced quite like that."
Check out the new images, one of which also features Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano, below.
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.
