for those who follow ‘Star wars‘ basically through the most canonical movies, Rosario Dawson It meant encountering a new character like Ahsoka Tano from ‘The Mandalorian’; crush for some. But this ancient Jedi of alien race togruta – characterized by heads with long tails and hollow horns or changing facial features – in fact, an old acquaintance for the most complete fans of the saga, those who have carefully studied all its limits: animated series, books and comics or video games.
In other words: “Ahsoka” (Disney+, Wednesday 23rd; double-episode premiere) This is not the premature coronation of a secondary character in ‘The Mandalorian’ and later ‘The Book of Boba Fett’, but the definitive blessing of a heroine dating back almost two decadesWhen George Lucas and his apprentice Dave Filoni shaped him for the ‘The Clone Wars’ animated movie and series.
As Filoni remembers at the last Star Wars Celebration, it all started with Lucas’ seven simple words: “I want Anakin to have a Padawan”. From this brief support, Jon Favreau’s future right-hand man in ‘The Mandalorian’ began designing and developing the teenage Jedi sent by Grand Master Yoda to finish learning the Order’s orders with the future Vader.
“It was about taking the young and impetuous Anakin and giving him a responsibility,” Filoni said of his post at Empire magazine. In the prequel to the ‘The Clone Wars’ series, Ahsoka won when she earned her teacher’s respect. Jabba the Hutt joins forces to save Rotta, the lovable but stinky son. a background Mission with strategic objectives to win the war against separatists.
He continued to tell the stories of Ahsoka in the serial version of ‘The Clone Wars’, just like the later famous one. “Star Wars Rebels”where we see a slightly more mature heroine marked by a complex past that includes the trauma of being wrongly accused of bombing the Jedi Temple. After that, he lost faith in the Sect and devoted himself to advocating good in his own way.
It is recommended that you save at least the last part of ‘Rebels’. Remembering (or meeting) the characters that will appear or be renamed in ‘Ahsoka’. In fact, this new series is by Filoni, as Dawson explained in ‘Total Film’ magazine, like the end of the fifth season of that animated series. In the epilogue, we see Mandalorian rebel Sabine Wren walking with Ahsoka in search of Commander Ezra Bridger, who saved the planet Lothal by going into exile into the unknown with the villain Thrawn. With ‘Ahsoka’ Filoni (here creator, ‘showrunner’ and assistant director) seems to finally want to tell us how this rescue mission came to an end.

The sinister forces seem to have devised a plan to save Thrawn from exile. Among them we find an old acquaintance: the evil judge Morgan Elsbeth (Diane Lee Inosanto), from which we will learn a lot from his past. And also a couple of terrifying new figures: a master and an apprentice, Baylon Skoll (the recently deceased Baylon Skoll).
