There’s plenty of excitement building for Lucasfilm’s next Disney+ series Star Wars: Ahsoka, although if you’ve only ever watched the live-action movies in the Star Wars saga, you may be scratching your head somewhat as to who this dual-lightsaber wielding former Jedi is, and why she’s such a fan-favourite…
Well, if you don’t have time to go back and catch up on Dave Filoni’s animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels in advance of Ahsoka’s premiere, then the official Star Wars YouTube channel has now released a new featurette which delves into the story of Ahsoka Tano and her relationship with her former Jedi master, Anakin Skywalker. Catch up with Ahsoka’s story below…
Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.
