We get our first good look at Grand Admiral Thrawn in Ahsoka trailer

Star Wars: Ahsoka follows the former Padawan Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.

In April, we got our first look at the new Disney+ series Star Wars: Ahsoka with the release of a teaser during Star Wars Celebration Day in London. It was tantalizing but a bit light on details. Now we've got a full-length trailer that reunites several fan favorites and also gives us our first peek at the live-action version of Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose rumored return will fuel much of the plot for Ahsoka.

(Some spoilers for Star Wars: Rebels below.)

As previously reported, the Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka, was introduced as a supporting character in 2008's animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the subsequent animated series (voiced by Ashley Eckstein). The character returned in the sequel series Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018) as a member of the Rebel Alliance, operating under the codename Fulcrum, and made numerous other cameo appearances in the extended Star Wars universe. Rosario Dawson's live-action version made her debut in The Mandalorian's second season. We last saw Ahsoka briefly in The Book of Boba Fett when she passed on a gift of chain mail to Grogu after warning Mando/Din Djarin that his presence would distract from Grogu's Jedi training. We all know how that turned out: Din and Grogu reunited and went on to share even more adventures in The Mandalorian S3.
