She is a warrior, outcast, rebel, and Jedi. The teaser trailer for Ahsoka, the Star Wars Disney Plus series led by Rosario Dawson, gives us the first look at the highly-anticipated show (seen below). We get plenty of character moments, world-building, galactic dogfights, and lightsaber duels.
From animation to live-action, the character has been on quite the journey as a supporting character in the galaxy far, far away. Jumping off her debut in season 2 of The Mandalorian, Rosario Dawson brings Ahsoka to life in live-action and continues to do so from what we see in the Ahsoka teaser trailer. We also get to see Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi), a character from Rebels, who will also be getting the live-action treatment with the King Richard star bringing our lead’s ally to life. The trailer also surprised us with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who will bring the beloved Rebels character Hera Syndulla to life. Other cast members include Ray Stevenson (Vikings), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Day Shift), Ivanna Sakhno (High Fidelity), and Hayden Christensen, who returns shortly after reprising his role as Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Ahsoka teaser trailer sets up what will be a busy schedule for Rosario Dawson. Recently, she starred in Clerks III, Dopesick, and The Book of Boba Fett as her Jedi. Later this year, she will be in Disney’s Haunted Mansion with Danny DeVito, LaKeith Stanfield, Jamie Lee Curtis, Owen Wilson, Winona Ryder, and Tiffany Haddish. She will also star in the sci-fi thriller Speed of Light.
No concrete date was given for Ahsoka after the release of its teaser trailer. It will release on Disney Plus sometime in August.
