Ahsoka first trailer: Rosario Dawson finds herself in the center of the Star Wars galaxy as one of the last Jedi to take on the Empire in action-packed clip

The highly-anticipated first trailer for Ahsoka was released as it saw Rosario Dawson in the titular role as she portrays one of the last Jedi in the Star Wars Galaxy.

The 43-year-old actress looked ready for action in the nearly-two minute clip which dropped at the Star Wars Celebration event in London on Friday after character posters were released of Lizzo and Jack Black in The Mandalorian.

In it Rosario portrays Ahsoka Tano who is the exiled Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, who eventually turned to the Dark Side to lead the Galactic Empire as Darth Vader.

The trailer appears to show that the live action series directly follows up on several threads from the animated series Star Wars Rebels.

One of the more crucial scenes in the clip see’s Ahsoka reuniting with Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) which came years after the disappearance of their friend Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi).

Sabine tells her ‘it’s been a while,’ as Ahsoka quickly retorts ‘things have changed.’ 

It also confirms that Mary Elizabeth Winstead will portray Hera Syndulla who is one of the leading characters from that series. 

However, there is an overarching darkness over the trailer as Genral Admiral Thrawn is addressed in the trailer though he was not shown other than the back of his head.

The most mind-blowing part of the clip came when Ahsoka tells Sabine: ‘I started hearing whispers about Thrawn’s return as air to the Empire.’

No doubt there had to be action showcased as Ahsoka whipped out a lightsaber to do battle.

The trailer featured an epic showdown between the lead and Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) who had the iconic red Sith lightsaber.

At that point Hera could be heard saying: ‘We have to prepare for the worst.’

Ahsoka addresses that her kind is near extinction as she then says: ‘The Jedi fell a long time ago. There aren’t many left.’
