“Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy,” according to Disney’s official description for the show. Ahsoka first appeared in the 2008 Clone Wars film and starred in The Clone Wars animated series. She also appeared in both The Mandalorian’s second season and in The Book of Boba Fett, where she was played by Dawson.
Ahsoka’s cast also includes Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lars Mikkelsen, Ray Stevenson, Ivanna Sakhno, and Diana Lee Inosanto.
