Ahsoka Tano’s live-action series has been a long time in the making. The character, who originated in Dave Filoni’s animated universe, first appeared played by Rosario Dawson in The Mandalorian, before popping up briefly in The Book of Boba Fett. Now, finally, she gets to tell her own story in a show that does justice to this beloved Star Wars hero.
Set around the same time as The Mandalorian season 3, we meet the former Jedi as she hears whispers of the return of the last remaining Imperial Admiral, Thrawn. Following a lead from Morgan Elsbeth (played once again by The Mandalorian’s Diana Lee Inosanto), the opening episode begins with Ahsoka searching for the map that will take her to Thrawn, as well as potentially saving her fallen comrade Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi).
