Star Wars fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of Ahsoka, which will continue the story of Rosario Dawson’s titular Jedi. The show, which will be streamable with a Disney+ subscription, will see the character reunite with old allies in order to fight the imminent return of the long absent Grand Admiral Thrawn. We’ve already been treated to footage of the show at this point, but a brand new trailer has now arrived – and it’s packed to the brim with cool tidbits. Chief among them is the full reveal of Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn, and he looks absolutely perfect in the role. The sweet footage also poses a major question about returning Star Wars Rebels character Sabine Wren.
The trailer quickly establishes that Thrawn is building quite a following, as he apparently seeks to position himself as the heir to the Galactic Empire. His followers seem to include a number of Imperials as well as dark Force users (and ex-Jedi) Shin Hati and Baylan Skoll, who’s played by the late Ray Stevenson. While most of the clip package is spent alluding to the imposing admiral, he’s eventually revealed. Up until this point, he’d only been shown from the back, so this is a big moment, to say the least. You can see Mikkelsen in character for yourself down below:
