On the first day of Star Wars Celebration in London, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni revealed the first official trailer for Ahsoka to the fans. But that’s not all, the trailer also made its world premiere online. Rosario Dawson, who plays the iconic Ahsoka, couldn’t contain her excitement when she mentioned that if the series is well received, she hopes to get a second season.
On the second day of the convention, Ahsoka had her own panel to celebrate 15 years since Dave Filoni and George Lucas created Ahsoka because George wanted Anakin to have a Padawan. George named Anakin’s Padawan Ahsoka and Dave designed her.
Recounting her experience as Ahsoka, Rosario Dawson revealed that she didn’t want to wear the contacts that make her eyes look blue, but Dave convinced her that the fans would kill her if she didn’t. This is love for the fans!
The role of Ahsoka is very physical and Rosario has trained a lot to play her. She has become ambidextrous and the duration of her makeup has decreased greatly. Before it was three hours and now only 1.5 hours! This depends on how much skin you show in each scene. His head has also changed over time. Before it was foam, but now it’s a 3D skeleton with skin and it’s grown because the fans asked for it. Fans have a lot of power!
Natasha Liu Bodrizzo and Mary Elizabeth Winstead also took the stage as Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla, who will support Ahsoka on her adventure.
The surprise didn’t end there. David Tenant, known for his role in Doctor Who, returns as the voice of the android Huyang. And the villains Shin and Baylan will be played by Ivanna Sakhno and Ray Stevenson, respectively.
Another exciting piece of news revealed at Star Wars Celebration was the confirmation that acclaimed Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen will play Grand Admiral Thrawn in the upcoming Ahsoka series. Fans of The Clone Wars and Rebels animated series know this iconic villain well, and now they will have the chance to see him in action in live action. Mikkelsen’s inclusion in the cast is great news for fans, as he is known for his acting talents and ability to bring complex characters to life. Without a doubt, Thrawn’s performance will be one of the highlights of the upcoming series.
Finally, a trailer with extra scenes was shown just to the audience at Star Wars Celebration and the audience went wild. May the force be with you!
