Fans of the animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars: Rebels” will undoubtedly feel redeemed amid the arrival of Disney+’s latest “Star Wars…
.” Set in the same timeframe as the third chapter of “The Mandalorian,” this new eight-episode series follows ex-Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano . After surviving the Jedi purge and being rescued from the clutches of her former master, Darth Vader , Ahsoka finds herself on a quest to save the fragile New Republic.
“Ahsoka” begins in battle. Though previously captured and sentenced to trial by Ahsoka, Morgan Elsbeth , the one-time Magistrate of Calodan and an Imperialist sympathizer, has no plans of surrendering to the New Republic. Instead, she has been playing the long game, a strategy that includes Nightsisters’ magick. With mercenaries Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati by her side, Morgan dreams of freeing her master Thrawn from banishment and starting a new war.
While there are plenty of lightsabers, battles and starships, in the first two episodes that were provided to critics, the heart of “Ahsoka” is its characters. Dawson brings a commanding but haunted presence to the meticulous and contemplative humanoid. Fans of the Togrutan fighter will undoubtedly rejoice in the actor’s careful work in bringing Ashoka to life, from the phrasing and pacing of her words to her precise movements during battle.
Though the core of “Ahsoka” isn’t very different from what’s previously been seen in “Star Wars,” unique elements make the series stand out. Not only is this the first show in which non-humans are centered, but the female-led cast offers a powerful and stunning visual birthed out of a relatively niche segment of the universe. With Filoni at the helm, crisp cinematography and an incredible score from Kevin Kiner, the show fits seamlessly in the extensive IP.
