Aug. 10 (UPI) — Disney+ is gearing up for the release of the new show Ahsoka.
The streaming service shared a teaser for the sci-fi drama Thursday featuring Rosario Dawson and late actor Ray Stevenson.
Ahsoka takes place in the Star Wars universe and is a spinoff of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian.
The show follows Ahsoka Tano (Dawson), a former Jedi Knight, as she “investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.”
The new teaser shows Ahsoka take on the villainous Baylan Skoll (Stevenson), who wields a unique orange lightsaber.
“Anakin spoke highly of you,” Baylan tells Ahsoka, referencing Ahsoka’s former Jedi master Anakin Skywalker.
“I’m not here to discuss my past,” Ahsoka responds.
When forces collide.
