(Live) By Sarah Passingham A fan-favorite former Jedi Knight finally gets her live-action, starring moment in the new Dis- ney+ limited series, "Star Wars: Ahsoka," debuting Wednesday, Aug. 23, on the streamer. Starring Rosario Dawson ("Dopesick") in the title role, the eight-episode series follows Ahsoka Tano as she takes on the not-so-small task of protecting the galaxy from immi- nent threats. Former Jedi Pad- awan-turned-Rebel Alliance member Ahsoka is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe among fans of the franchise's animated films and TV series. Before Dawson's live-action portrayal of Ahsoka in the Dis- ney+ series "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett," the character first appeared in the 2008 animated feature and subse- quent TV series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" as a teenage appren- tice of Anakin Skywalker. The new series is set just after the events of the animated series "Rebels" and in the same timeline as "The Mandalorian." Hayden Christensen ("Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones," 2002) reprises his role as Anakin yet again in "Ahsoka," after appearing in 2019's "Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker," and bringing the character back to life in the spinoff series "Obi- Wan Kenobi" — presumably as a Force ghost, as he is long dead in this timeline. So, who will the baddies in "Ahsoka" be without Darth Vader to represent the dark side? Re- turning to portray Grand Admiral Thrawn is "The Witcher" star Lars Mikkelsen, who lent his voice to the chilling Imperial officer in "Rebels." Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
