Lucasfilm is continuously hyping up the release of Star Wars: Ahsoka. And to excite fans more, the studio has dropped a new trailer featuring the intense battles of the main characters, Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo). As the preview hints, a new hero will rise as a new threat will emerge.
Written and executive produced by Dave Filoni, who is also behind the Star Wars animated shows The Clone Wars and Rebels, the new Disney+ series will see Ahsoka Tano’s return to investigate a threat after the fall of the Empire. The show will be set in the same timeline as The Mandalorian, and several Rebel characters will get into the live-action.
The new Ahsoka trailer in question sees Sabine in a lightsaber duel with Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno). The scene then shifts to when Ashoka still trains Sabine using wooden sticks. From there, the former Jedi Padawan declares that the Empire is still a threat, and another war may begin.
Later, Ashoka faces Baylan Skoll (the late Ray Stevenson), who tells her that her former master Anakin Skywalker talks highly of her. The two then begin a fight, teasing the intense battles fans will see in the series. You can see the trailer below:

Ahsoka will see its titular character looking for Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) and helping Luke Skywalker train Grogu. She will get the help of her longtime allies Sabine and Hera (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in her new mission as they try to locate Thrawn, who suddenly disappeared to the far reaches of space after confronting Ezra (Eman Esfandi). You can read Ahsoka’s synopsis below:

When and where to watch Star Wars: Ahsoka?
Ahsoka will have a two-episode premiere on August 23 on Disney+. The series will have a total of eight episodes that will run weekly until October. With the hype surrounding the series and the much-awaited return of Ahsoka to the land far, far away, fans now have high anticipation for this new Lucasfilm offering. And just like Filoni’s hit animated series, many hope this one will meet, if not exceed, the expectations.
