Fans of the ‘Star Wars’ universe, brace yourselves! The upcoming ‘Ahsoka’ series has unveiled its gripping promo titled ‘Force’. In a thrilling twist, the promo marks the return of Hayden Christensen portraying the iconic character Anakin Skywalker.
This introduction adds another layer of depth to the series, as Anakin engages in a dialogue with his former apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, played by the talented Rosario Dawson.
A milestone in the ‘Star Wars’ narrative, this promo signifies the initial instance where audiences will witness the cherished interactions between Anakin and Ahsoka, the renowned Master and Padawan pair from the ‘Clone Wars’, brought to life outside of animation. Clocking in at 42 seconds, the clip seamlessly intertwines elements from animated series like ‘Clone Wars’ and ‘Rebels’, while drawing clear parallels to the live-action show, ‘The Mandalorian’.
Furthermore, just a week earlier, the series tantalized fans with another intriguing video named ‘Master and Apprentice’. This captivating snippet spotlighted Ahsoka as she instructs the ‘Rebels’ character, Sabine Wren, in the art of wielding a lightsaber.
Diving deeper into the ‘Force’ promo, viewers are treated to exhilarating scenes of Ahsoka challenging Imperial Inquisitors. She also shares screen time with another ‘Rebels’ standout, the pilot Hera Syndulla, and confronts Rogue force users, one of whom is portrayed by the revered, late actor Ray Stevenson.
Hayden’s voice, embodying Anakin Skywalker, reverberates throughout the video, offering words of wisdom to Ahsoka. Additionally, quick snippets showcase Hayden’s transformation from the honorable Anakin to the menacing Sith Lord, Darth Vader.
The series aims to traverse multiple timelines, weaving intricate connections from the bygone era of the Republic, through the reign of the Galactic Empire, and culminating in the New Republic’s establishment, post the events of ‘Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi’.
Star Wars aficionados can eagerly anticipate appearances from ‘Rebels’ personalities like Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger, who mysteriously disappeared in the series, leaving fans yearning for answers. Additionally, the series promises to delve deeper into the enigmatic Force’s lore, sacred to all Force practitioners, be they Jedi or Sith. While Luke Skywalker and Din Djarin, popularly known as the Mandalorian, remain conspicuously absent, rumors hint at their potential introduction in future episodes.
Come August 23, Disney+ subscribers can dive into this expansive universe with the release of the first two episodes of ‘Ahsoka’. Helmed by Dave Filoni, the series comprises eight meticulously crafted episodes.
