Scheduled for release on September 1st, LEGO currently offers three Ahsoka sets available for pre-order. The most affordable option is the Ahsoka Tano's T-6 Jedi Shuttle (75362), priced at $80. Next up is the dual-ship pack comprising of the New Republic E-Wing vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter (75364) retailing for $110. Lastly, fans can look forward to the improved version of Hera Syndulla's ship, The Ghost and Phantom II (75357), priced at $160. Each set boasts its own distinctive collection of Star Wars minifigures, ensuring none are repeated. So, here's a breakdown of all the known Ahsoka characters and their corresponding LEGO minifigure counterparts.

13 Ahsoka Tano

12 Sabine Wren

Introducing a new version of Ahsoka minifigure in 75362, this remarkable rendition showcases a redesigned lekku headpiece, shorter than its predecessors. Notably, the minifigure boasts intricate leg and arm printing, exuding an impressive level of detail. It is an absolute essential for ardent Star Wars LEGO collectors, flawlessly capturing the likeness of Rosario Dawson's portrayal of Ahsoka in live-action. To complete the authenticity, the minifigure is accompanied by trans-clear lightsaber blades, mirroring her iconic white-bladed lightsabers.

Sabine Wren's arrival in Ahsoka brings with it great excitement as she dons the familiar armor seen in the Star Wars Rebels finale and epilogue. In line with her on-screen appearance, the new LEGO minifigure (also available in 75362) embraces the same armored style and wields the distinctive green-bladed lightsaber that was once in the possession of Ezra Bridger before he vanished into the Unknown Regions. Furthermore, the minifigure accurately portrays Sabine's shorter purple hair, which she showcased in the Rebels' finale and was prominently featured in the Ahsoka trailers. Notably, her classic Mandalorian helmet remains authentic to the screen depiction.

11 Huyang

10 Marrok

The renowned droid professor of the Jedi Order, Huyang, made his unforgettable debut in The Clone Wars animated series. Excitingly, it appears that Huyang will reunite with Ahsoka during the High Republic Era, and as a delightful surprise, a brilliant new minifigure of Huyang will be included in 75362. This remarkable minifigure impeccably captures the essence of the ancient droid and will once again be voiced by the talented actor David Tennant.

The new Inquisitor named Marrok, included with 75362, adds a mysterious element to Ahsoka's release. Marrok's LEGO minifigure showcases him fully helmeted, wearing armor with custom molding. Additionally, the minifigure features the signature double-bladed Inquisitor hilt, making it a valuable addition to any LEGO Inquisitor collection.

9 Hera Syndulla

Despite being a LEGO minifigure during the airing of Star Wars Rebels on DisneyXD, the latest iteration of Hera Syndulla more closely resembles the Rebellion general's updated appearance in her live-action debut in Ahsoka. With Mary Elizabeth Winstead portraying the character, the new Hera minifigure for 2023 naturally comes with a fresh design of her iconic ship, The Ghost (75357). Sporting her general rank on a new brown leather jacket and headgear, Hera's LEGO counterpart has undeniably been enhanced, just like her ship.

8 Chopper

There is little variation between the past minifigures of Hera's devoted (and incredibly chaotic) droid, Chopper, the live-action Chopper, and the latest version showcased in 75357. The only notable distinction is an enhancement in Ahsoka's Chopper, as it now possesses grey legs to complement its white body and orange head. Consequently, this new Chopper minifigure is even more faithful to its on-screen appearance.

7 Jacen Syndulla

Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus' son Jacen is also featured as a minifigure in LEGO's 75357 set. However, there is a noticeable change in his appearance compared to his first appearance in the epilogue of Star Wars Rebels. In the LEGO version, Jacen's hair is brown instead of the original green, which matched his mother's hair. Since Jacen has not been prominently showcased in Ahsoka's trailers, it remains uncertain whether his live-action debut will also portray him with brown hair or revert back to the green hair he was initially depicted with.

6 Lt. Beyta

Joining Hera in the Ahsoka trailers, Lt. Beyta, a Mon Calamari pilot serving in the New Republic Defense Fleet, stands alongside the general as she addresses the leadership. In a true representation of his on-screen appearance, Beyta's LEGO minifigure will accompany set 75357.

5 First Officer Hawkins

4 Baylan Skoll

In the same scene with Hera and Lt. Beyta, First Officer Hawkins makes an appearance. Portrayed by actor Nican Robinson, the specific role that Hawkins will undertake in the new Ahsoka series remains undisclosed. Nonetheless, his LEGO minifigure precisely captures his likeness and will also be featured alongside Hera and Beyta in 75357.

In LEGO's 75364, Baylan Skoll, one of Ahsoka's primary adversaries, is featured as a minifigure. Portrayed by the late Ray Stevenson, Baylan is rumored to have been a surviving Jedi after Order 66, now corrupted and seeking power during the Empire's downfall. The LEGO version impressively replicates his torso, hair piece, and head printing, resembling the on-screen character accurately. However, it would have been preferable if his lightsaber matched the orange-red hue from the show instead of the typical red LEGO utilizes. Notably, his menacing black hood and cape are unfortunately omitted.

3 Shin Hati

2 Morgan Elsbeth

The LEGO minifigure of Shin Hati, the apprentice of Baylan Skoll, exhibits excellent detailing, despite having the same red blade and experiencing complaints regarding the missing hood and cape. Additionally, the choice of her blonde hairpiece appears to be fitting considering all factors. Furthermore, the minifigure of Shin Hati is part of the 75364 set, which also includes her master Baylan.

Joining LEGO's initial wave of Ahsoka sets, we have Morgan Elsbeth, the ultimate antagonist. In LEGO's 75364 set, Elsbeth is accompanied by Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. With her scarlet robes and distinct forehead tattoo, Elsbeth's LEGO representation is unquestionably authentic. Despite limited information about Elsbeth's character from her debut in The Mandalorian season 2, it has been confirmed that she is aligned with the Imperial leader, Grand Admiral Thrawn, who is set to make a triumphant return to the Star Wars universe very soon.

1 Grand Admiral Thrawn

Although the first wave of LEGO sets for Ahsoka did not include a new minifigure of Grand Admiral Thrawn, it's still enjoyable to compare the 2016 minifigure that was only included with one set. The minifigure in question features yellow stripes on the shoulders, resembling epaulets. It's worth mentioning that a future Thrawn minifigure will likely have black stripes to match his live-action appearance in Ahsoka. Additionally, it will be interesting to see if LEGO opts for the same navy blue hairpiece as the animated version of Thrawn, who had blue-black hair, or if they will go for a more solid black color to reflect the live-action portrayal.

Episodes 1 and 2 of Ahsoka will be released on Disney+ on August 23.
