Cast

There is another young actor playing Ahsoka (MSW). Very questioable sources (Nerdgasm) said she's played by Savannah Steyn.

Hayden Christensen (THR).

Darth Vader team (MSW, Bespin Bulletin), voiced by James Earl Jones AI. Fully suited Darth Vader will exclusively be played by Tom O’Connel. Tom O’Connel is being fitted for a new Darth Vader suit (different than the one used for Obi-Wan Kenobi last year). MSW

Ezra played by Eman Esfandi (Jordan Maison, THR). There were false reports of him being Mena Massoud.

"Riz" codename (The Illuminerdi) - a man in his 20s, described as a bit of a lone wolf, world-wise despite his young age and able to handle anything life throws his way. This character is listed as a series regular with options. [Most likely Ezra]

Sabine played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Deadline). There were false reports about frontrunners.

Hera (MSW), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (THR), Hera played by MEW (Bespin Bulletin)

Ivanna Sakhno (Deadline) plays Shin. According to The Illuminerdi, the character is codenamed “Astrid”, and is described as striking and ferocious. A formidable mercenary who must now decide between two paths. Astrid can either follow the path of her unit or take hold of her own aspiration in service of her own glory.

Ray Stevenson plays Baylan, previously thought as "Admiral" (THR). Loyal to Thrawn. He has a droid and an assassin by his side. Has a lot of screentime. (MSW)

Thrawn played by Lars Mikkelsen (guesses, KRT, Christopher Marc, MSW). There were contradicting reports by Jordan Maison.

Commander Rex (Christopher Marc) played by Temuera Morrison (BSL)

Captain Enoch (MSW) played by Wes Chatham (Deadline), Thrawn's bodyguard [Note: the article doesn't say he's Enoch, but it's hidden in the metadata of the article, viewable in view page source]

A new cyborg/droid character named Carnast who serves Thrawn and Baylan. Might be a Dark Trooper. (MSW)

Morgan Elsbeth (MSW)

Unknown character played by Matthew Law (DanielRPK)

Unknown character played by Shakira Barrera (DanielRPK, Jordan Maison, Charles Murphy)

David Tennant is back (reddit user PlayThenPause) as Hyuang

Mon Mothma (MSW)

Jacen Syndulla, has black hair (Lego set)

Barriss Offee (The illuminerdi). Most likely wrong and mixed with the "Barriss" codename which was actually for Sabine.

Officially revealed minor characters

Senators - Senator Mawood (Maurice Irvin), Senator Rodrigo (Jacqueline Antaramian), Chancellor Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), Senator Xiono (Nelson Lee) and Gran Senator (Erica Duke)

Mark Rolston plays Captain Hale - Source

Hawkins, first officer in the New Republic, played by Nican Robinson (Lego set)

Crew

All epsiodes were written by Dave Filoni.

Eric Steelberg and Quyen Tran are the Cinematographers - Source

Databank entries & officially released photos

Marrok (Inquisitor): Once an Inquisitor hunting Jedi for the Empire, the mysterious Marrok now works as a mercenary hired by Morgan Elsbeth to carry out dark deeds. Fully encased in battered battle armor, the warrior still carries a red double-bladed saber with a circular hilt.

Shin Hati: The eager apprentice of Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati is adept at lightsaber combat, a skill she uses in their work as mercenaries allied to Morgan Elsbeth, the former Magistrate of Calodan.

[Note: The Illuminerdi said Ivanna plays "Astrid" - "A formidable mercenary who must now decide between two paths. Astrid can either follow the path of her unit or take hold of her own aspiration in service of her own glory". This implies Shin will have to decide between following Baylan or betraying him].

Baylan Skoll: Baylan Skoll is lightsaber-wielding mercenary for hire overseeing his apprentice Shin Hati. But make no mistake: although there was a time when Skoll knew the acclaimed Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Baylan is no Jedi. Now allied to Morgan Elsbeth, the former Magistrate of Calodan, after the fall of the Jedi and the Empire, Skoll remains a shrewd fighter in search of power who believes that another war is inevitable.

Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth: The coldhearted former Magistrate of Calodan, Morgan Elsbeth is an ally of Grand Admiral Thrawn and an enemy of the New Republic. A formidable fighter with a mysterious past, Elsbeth once hunted Ahsoka Tano on the world of Corvus before she was bested in battle and arrested for acting as an Imperial sympathizer.

Officially released 10 photos and their source episode - link. Sabine has short hair in episode 2.

Officially released concept art

Plot

Structure (MSW)

Ahsoka will have a midseason time-jump. The Rebels epilogue takes place in the middle of the season, and the season is like 2 different parts (four episodes each).

The first part of Ahsoka has New Republic centric-content which will feature Mothma. The first half of Ahsoka is a story about a failing New Republic, Ahsoka's warnings are ignored, and about Sabine.

The second part is finding Ezra and Thrawn. (MSW)

The "New Beyond" & Skeleton Crew

The Ahsoka show is gonna introduce concepts that are gonna be explored in Skeleton Crew. (MSW)

After Rebels, Thrawn and Ezra end up in a completely new and unexplored area of the universe, of which he calls ''The New Beyond” or “New Space'' until an official name is revealed. This region views and uses the Force differently, and magic users in the Star Wars universe we have seen before (like the nightsisters), originate from this place, and we have seen outcasts from there in past SW stories. (MSW)

Both Ivanna Sakhno and Diana Lee Inosanto's (Morgan Elsbeth) characters have a connection to this place. (MSW)

Skeleton Crew kids end up in this unexplored part of space too. (MSW)

World Between Worlds, Vader battle & different Ahsokas

The World Between Worlds is in Ahsoka too. (MSW)

We will get glimpses of Tano in other times and eras via The World Between Worlds. There is a version of Ahsoka in her late teens, one for another undisclosed time (might be present day Ahsoka in terms of the narrative itself), and finally for the version we saw in the final moment of Rebels in her white robes. (MSW)

Ahsoka will fight “Darth Vader” (Vader being dark side Anakin, not necessarily in the Vader suit) in more than one way and Hayden Christensen required some training for a sequence in the series because we will see his face again on screen, wearing the same costume he wore on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith. (MSW)

We will see many possible outcomes for Ahsoka’s life and how in essence, no matter what, they all lead to a particular moment in her story. If Ahsoka had returned to the Jedi Order, she would be the one fighting Darth Vader on Mustafar having the high ground, not Obi-Wan Kenobi, because what happened had to happen, to get Tano to where she and the Skywalkers needed to be. Hayden Christensen filmed fight scenes with Clone Wars Ahsoka in this scenario. (MSW)

Through the World Between Worlds, it seems present day Ahsoka will learn that Anakin Skywalker was destined to take the path he did and we the audience will see aspects of those outcomes and in some of them we see live action Clone Wars era Ahsoka Tano played by a new actor in a duel with her former Jedi Master, taking the place of Obi-Wan Kenobi in this reality that never was. To be clear, these are glimpses or small sequences and Dawson will play Ahsoka during the majority of the story. (MSW)

Ahsoka will also see other visions in these sequences. Had Ahsoka killed Thrawn and Ezra Bridger did not need to use the Purrgil, Ahsoka’s destiny remained the same. The lesson for Tano appears to be that she cannot change her destiny and instead she must embrace it. (MSW)

There was an Obi-Wan corpse made. (MSW)

Ezra & Sabine

Ezra and Sabine have action scenes together (MSW).

MSW heard about a sequence in Ahsoka where Ezra uses the Force in a way compared to Luke Skywalker shattering the Beehive Hut on Ahch-To when he catches Rey talking with Kylo. However, the difference is one source saying and others confirming Ezra “hadoukens” with the Force. (MSW)

Sabine Wren uses Ezra's lightsaber. There are sequences with Sabine using the lightsaber with Ezra Bridger. It is not clear if Ezra gets another laser sword at some point or just finally takes his lightsaber back from her but she’s usually using it. (MSW)

Ezra developed his own martial arts based Force powers, not unlike Teras Kasi, but his own style. This martial arts style coupled with his connection to animals makes him an interesting take on a Force user on screen as he uses his hands, feet, the Force and nature to beat up undead Stormtroopers. (MSW)

Most of the scenes: Ezra doing Force Karate while Sabine swings the lightsaber around (MSW)

This series has more lightsaber fighting than probably anything we have seen on Disney+ (MSW)

We will have sequences where Baylon, Shin, have red sabers, Morgan Elsbeth and the witches standing off against Ahsoka with her two white lightsabers, Sabine with the green saber, and Ezra doing Force karate. (MSW)

Sabine will duel Shin with her red rapier laser sword while Ashoka Tano will fight Baylon’s red claymore lightsaber. The duel happens concurrently while Ezra fights Stromtroopers with his force Karate in the Nodian Highlands.

Thrawn and his minions

Will have an army “resurrected by dark side shadow magicks.” (MSW)

Zabrak troopers in white and burgundy uniforms (Christopher Marc)

Thrawn’s command ship, Chimera, is in the series. (MSW)

A survivor of Order 66, a Jedi named Babylon, fled to this unknown region of the galaxy for safety. Sources think Babylon wanted to maintain the Jedi way but was corrupted over time, maybe from the influence of life with the Nightsisters. (MSW)

"Nightsister" Morgan Elsbeth has a plan that the New Republic cannot respond to. "Nightsister" Morgan Elsbeh is searching for Thrawn, like Sabine and Ahsoka for Ezra. (MSW)

Elsbeth was extracting resources from the planet to build a ship capable of bringing Grand Admiral Thrawn back to the core worlds (ship or TIE fighters - some project to bring back Thrawn)

Baylon and Shin are in the core worlds initially and allied with Elsbeth. They are in both parts of the series. Baylon is dedicated to the mission to extract Thrawn and bring him home.

Thrawn has a new bodyguard named Enoch - MSW says looks like a "golden Destro from G.I. Joe with Samurai influences". They also have a new cyborg/droid character named Carnast.

Ahsoka and Sabine follow the Nightsister and her allies to Thrawn

A large fight will take place in a location that could be called "The Nodian Highlands." (MSW)

Kintsugi (MSW)

*In Episode IX, Kylo Ren visits an ape named ​​Albrekh who fixes his armor (also an old MSW scroop). The mask is repaired using “Sarrassian iron.” The red iron is used to weld the red cracks of his armor together giving it that red veiny aesthetic.

*Ahsoka will riff on this aesthetic. Most of the Stormtroopers have been destroyed, their armor obliterated, much like Kylo’s helmet. However, instead of the red veins running through the rebuilt armor, these troopers have what has been described as “golden cracks” or “yellow veins” running through their exterior.

*The visual used in Episode IX is based on Kintsugi, a Japanese art which translates to “golden joinery.” Broken valuables use gold or silver to mend and join the broken pieces of antique or art. The process sees the breaks as part of the history of the object.

*MSW doubts it's “Sarrassian” as these troopers were “reforged” by The Nightsisters. MSW says: "In The Clone Wars, the Nightsisters of Dathomir had a green magic, but these are different Nightsisters from a new place and perhaps their magic is golden instead of green to match the Kintsugi look?"

*These troopers will be on the hunt, serving Thrawn, under the command of Baylon, but led into battle by the red sabered user named Shin. They will be tracking the reunited Ezra, Sabine, and Ahsoka.

*When the trio is finally reunited, they will face off against this new take on the Imperial Stormtrooper.

*Visually it will be a new evil Force user (Shin), red saber ignited and an armor with a battalion of reforged Stormtroopers with golden veins through their armor. Ahsoka, Sabine, and Ezra fleeing from them before being forced to fight.

The ending (MSW)

Ahsoka is basically The Empire Strikes Back of the “Mando Era”. The good guys fail in the end.

Ahsoka and Sabine inherit a secondary mission to stop Grand Admiral Thrawn and his cronies from returning to the core of the galaxy.

Thrawn returns to the main galaxy at the climax of the 8th and final episode of the season, with his forces all laid out before him. Thrawn revels in the moment, promising a reckoning is coming and ready to take on a faltering New Republic and take back the galaxy.

Most likely, the allies who sprung him from the far reaches of space have been a part of a power play he has had cooking for years.

The general consensus from those working on the show is that Ahsoka will have multiple seasons.

The story/cliffhanger will likely pick up in the second season of the series.

Looking at the grand scheme of things and the information MSW has been given, it’s likely that this attack/war is what will really allow the first order to rise.

Misc

Temple Ruins set photos (Bespin Bulletin)

MSW said that a woman seemed to want to be let in to what in the photo. He thinks the woman might have been Ahsoka, but he's not sure.

Ahsoka with white cloak will ride a loth-wolf (horse) nicknamed DOOM (MSW)

Ahsoka episode 1 is 54 minutes and 21 seconds long (credits at 51:06). Episode 2 is 42 minutes and 15 seconds long (credits at 38:33) (Cryptic HD)

reading the ahsoka leaks 

[jjoelswatch]

I think the people instantly hating on the one particular Ahsoka show leak just don’t know how to have fun.

[hayden-christensen]

HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN as ANAKIN SKYWALKER Ahsoka - Part Seven: Dreams and Madness (2023)

[three-fold-symmetry]

Day 1 of @codywanweek with the prompt 'Sleeping'! 🧡💙

And there was only one emergency seat on the LAAT.

[fantastic-nonsense]

new canon Star Wars writers continuing to underminine George Lucas's continual emphasis on Anakin's tragedy being about his choices and not about any sort of pre-determined destiny he was fated to endure....I hate it here

[raventrigonsdaughter]

Back to Rosario talking about how Ezra and Ahsoka will have a deeper conection and relationship that will be important to the show, we can all agree that this is most likely a Daughter and Son of Mortis thing right? Everyone can agree on that right? Or at very least they will be parallels to Baylan and Shin

[skygirlstars]

I know this is such a small thing, but it drove me crazy that when they showed Sabine’s mural of the Ghost Crew, you can’t see most of Kanan (or Zeb, for that matter), even in the wide shot. I want to see all of them!!!! they’re all important!!!!

one of my biggest fears for the show was that they’d just pretend Kanan never existed, and that particular shot does not bode well. we’ll see what happens, I suppose

[hashtagloveloses]

gojo died and gave his creepy blue eyes to every live action rebels character apparently

[gizkalord]

wow can't believe dave filoni is about to adapt my fanfic from 2020 for next episode 😌

[loevawrites]

Relationships: Maulsoka, although this chapter is more a ‘‘Bosoka if you squint’‘ tbh. 

[leemarkies]

less than 2 weeks until bad batch s3 i feel physically ill

[hayden-christensen]

wait I'm out of the loop - why do you not want anakin to be in That Show? or want him to be in it as little as possible? assuming this is about the ahsoka show btw

as I understand it, and this is a brief summary there's more in the article linked, rosario and her family were sued a few years ago by a transgender man over transphobic harassment and violent abuse - and this happened when she was first cast in the role. it was dismissed later but there were covid complications involved so it was never fully resolved.

I also personally do not like her portrayal of ahsoka it's just Not Her and has not been giving Ahsoka™ since her first appearance in mando. which means all in all, I do not want to watch la adult ahsoka so the less anakin/hayden appears and interacts with her, the better.

[id-be-home-with-you]

I think it would be cool for Star Wars to explore ways Anakin may have failed Ahsoka as a master actually….

[arsonistmp3]

ezra bridger yellow lightsaber will be real in one week

[across-stars]

watched the Rebels movie today, and I was not prepared for that moment, Kallus kicking that Stormtrooper in the face off the railing they were holding on to, I’ll tell you I audibly yelped
