Ahsoka s1 (2023) [+]

Ahsoka s1 ran 8 45-minute episodes. It's in the current Star Wars TV shows post movies timeline. Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) is tasked with investigating Imperial-remnant activity and finds a conspiracy to bring back Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) from his exile in a far away galaxy.

She recruits Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) to help her and also be her Jedi Padawan as Sabine has unrealized Force potential. Along with Ahsoka's robot companion Huyang (David Tennant) the three will face off against Morgan Elsbeth (Diane Lee Inosanto), a witch, and her two Jedi mercenaries, Baylan Skoll (the late Ray Stevenson) and Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno)...

The story is one big setup to introduce Thrawn, the big villain in the post episode 4-6 novels that started off a whole bunch of Star Wars novels by Bantam books. It also leaves Ahsoka in the other galaxy so I guess they have something for season two.

I like the characters though they are all from the Clone Wars series I think so I'm missing lots of the background. I think it would have been more enjoyable if I knew that lore. But still I like this series and look forward to season two.
