Thrawn Revealed in New Star Wars: Ahsoka Trailer
The latest trailer for Star Wars: Ahsoka has finally revealed the face of Thrawn, the iconic villain from Star Wars Rebels. The trailer also gives us a glimpse at Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, and other familiar faces from the animated series.
The trailer opens with Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) on a desert planet, searching for Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen). We then see Hera (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) meeting with a council that includes Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly). Sabine is now a Jedi, and she addresses Ahsoka as "Master."
The trailer also shows us some new characters, including Baylan (Ray Stevenson), a warrior who warns of an impending war. We also get a glimpse of Thrawn himself, who is still as cunning and ruthless as ever.
The Story
Star Wars: Ahsoka takes place after the events of Star Wars Rebels, which saw Ahsoka and Sabine go on a mission to find Ezra Bridger, who was lost in hyperspace with Thrawn. The trailer suggests that Ahsoka is still searching for Ezra and that she may have finally found a lead.
The trailer also hints at a larger conflict brewing in the galaxy. Thrawn is a powerful enemy, and his return could mean trouble for the New Republic. It will be interesting to see how Ahsoka and Sabine team up to face this new threat.
