Popsugar Entertainment Ahsoka Ahsoka Character Guide Here's Your Ultimate Guide to "Ahsoka"'s Characters and Their Importance 24 August 2023 by Michele Mendez Image Source: YouTube | Star Wars "Ahsoka" has finally arrived on Disney+. The show, which premiered on Aug. 23, has been highly anticipated among fans because it's set to reveal what happened to Ahsoka and the rest of the Ghost crew following the events of "Star Wars Rebels." The animated series ran for four seasons from October 2014 to March 2018. Since it ended on a major cliffhanger, viewers hoped the show's finale wouldn't be the last time they'd see their favourite "Rebels" characters. After years of waiting, Ahsoka finally returned during the second season of "The Mandalorian." In her episode, titled "The Jedi," we learned that she's been searching for the legendary Grand Admiral Thrawn. Since "Rebels" ends with Thrawn and the Jedi Ezra Bridger disappearing into hyperspace, "The Mandalorian" teased Ahsoka is searching for the blue-skinned villain in hopes that he could lead her to her lost friend. Now that "Ahsoka" is here, we know her mission isn't just about reuniting with Ezra but also preventing Thrawn from starting an all-out war. Ahead, find a character guide of everyone you should know in "Ahsoka," from members of the Ghost crew to all of the villains they're up against. 1 Ahsoka (played by Rosario Dawson) Image Source: YouTube | Star Wars Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) is the former Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). They had a brother-sister relationship and often worked together with Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). During "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," Ahsoka is expelled from the Jedi Order after being framed for a crime she didn't commit. She later clears her name and is asked to return to the Order, however, Ahsoka chooses to leave after feeling betrayed by the Jedi. Although being on her own helps Ahsoka discover herself, we learn during the events of "Rebels" that she also feels guilty for leaving the Order since she wasn't there to stop Anakin from turning into Darth Vader. Since Ezra once saved Ahsoka from Vader, it seems she now wants to return the favour by saving him from Thrawn. 1 / 9 2 Hera Syndulla (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) Image Source: YouTube | Star Wars Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is a Twi'lek from the planet Ryloth.

After meeting Hera and Kanan, Sabine becomes a member of the Ghost crew and fights the Empire alongside the Rebel Alliance.

"She is very skilled in lightsaber combat." The star also teased that "Ahsoka" will explain why her character chooses to follow the dark side. "I hope that despite her darkness of a character, we're able to also expand our understanding of that darkness within someone and the reason behind it," Sakhno said. 9 / 9 AhsokaDisney PlusStreamingStar WarsTV
