Star Wars: Ahsoka has recently seen the release of its fourth episode, and fans are incredibly excited to see where the show is headed. The series has been a hit amongst fans, featuring many characters from the Star Wars Rebels animated TV show. Fans have been excited to see their favorite animated characters appear in this live-action adaptation.
One of these characters is Hera, a Rebel Leader who made her Ahsoka debut in the first episode. She is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the live-action series and has received many positive reviews from fans. If you enjoyed seeing her in the show, then you will be even more excited to know that you can now see her in real life for a limited time.
When new Star Wars shows are released on Disney+, there is a small chance that some characters from that show will appear in real life at Galaxy’s Edge, located at Disneyland. Ahsoka was the first character to show up here, accompanying the show’s release. The next character to make their limited-time appearance will be Hera. The official Star Wars page posted a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) making this announcement, as you can see below:
Mary Elizabeth Winstead's thoughts on playing Hera?
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who plays Hera in Ahsoka, recently said in an interview on the Dagobah Dispatch podcast,
"Having a character who's already existed and has such a rich history on something like Rebels, as an actor, it's incredible. Because sometimes we're tasked with creating our own backstories or trying to flesh out a character that doesn't really have that much on the page. And so to play a character that has season after season of storylines and complex histories with everyone in their life and relationships and experiences was really something I've never experienced quite like that... To have Rebels to refer to, and to have [Rebels and Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni] to speak to about it every day on set, was a real luxury for sure."
What happened in Ahsoka Episode 4?
In the fourth episode, we saw Ahsoka fight with Morgan Elsbeth’s forces on Seatos. Even though Ahsoka and Sabine Wren had the upper hand in the start against Shin Hati and Marrok, the two couldn’t defeat Baylan Skoll. As a result, Ahsoka was pushed off a cliff by Skoll during their fight, considered to be dead.
Once Ahsoka was gone, he managed to convince Sabine not to destroy the map to search for Grand Admiral Thrawn. We then find out that Ahsoka isn’t dead, as she wakes up in a place that looks like the World Between Worlds, with Anakin Skywalker, her former master standing behind her. That’s where the episode comes to an end, with the Darth Vader theme playing in the background and the story left to continue in Episode 5.
New episodes of Ahsoka can be streamed on Tuesday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT on Disney+.
