The Ultimate Ahsoka Trailer 2 Breakdown: Unveiling 12 Mind-Blowing Star Wars Story Details & Epic Secrets

Star Wars has just released the new Ahsoka trailer, providing a more in-depth look at the highly-anticipated series set to debut in August. The show features Rosario Dawson as the lead character, Ahsoka, a former Jedi on a mission to track down Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn has been missing in the unknown regions of space since the finale of Star Wars Rebels. Ahsoka is joined by Sabine Wren, portrayed by Natasha Liu Bordizzo, and receives support from General Hera Syndulla, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who represents the New Republic.

The trailer intensifies the action, taking the previous Ahsoka promotional footage to new heights and showcasing the grand scale of the project. Though it is connected to The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka appears to have even greater ambitions than its predecessors. With the expanding New Republic, enigmatic dark side Force users, and a diverse team of former Rebels all in pursuit of Thrawn, the stakes have never been higher. Here, we examine 12 pivotal moments from the Ahsoka trailer that hold more significance than initially meets the eye.

Ahsoka Trailer Reveals Baylan And Shin Are No Jedi

Ahsoka Discovers An Ancient Jedi Temple

The opening scene of the trailer showcases an intense breach by Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, as they infiltrate a New Republic vessel, introducing the audience to the formidable new Ahsoka villains. Shin wastes no time and swiftly eliminates New Republic soldiers, while Baylan menacingly hovers over a commanding officer. Expressing his thoughts on the unavoidable nature of warfare, Baylan vehemently declares that both he and Shin "are no Jedi."

Previous footage of Ahsoka reveals her exploring the remnants of ancient ruins. With her lightsaber in hand, she skillfully cuts through the ground, descending into a chamber adorned with a carved image of a Jedi on its wall. These ruins are believed to be a part of a Jedi Temple or outpost, holding invaluable knowledge that Ahsoka seeks to uncover about the enigmatic World Between Worlds.

Ahsoka Trailer Reveals The Villains Are Searching For Thrawn Too

Baylan and Shin encounter Morgan Elsbeth, the Magistrate who was previously vanquished by Ahsoka in season 2 of The Mandalorian. Just like the heroes, the dark side duo is fervently searching for Thrawn, and Elsbeth possesses a celestial chart that has the potential to guide them to her master. Skoll firmly believes that Thrawn holds the key to an unsurpassed level of power, leading to a momentous showdown between Ahsoka and Skoll as they vie for control over the crucial map on a cliff.

The New Republic Fleet Takes Flight In The Ahsoka Trailer

The first time the New Republic fleet has been captured on screen in Star Wars canon is showcased in the Ahsoka trailer. In the vicinity of a planet, Mon Calamari capital ships and CR90 corvettes can be observed flying in orbit, accompanied by A-wings swiftly zooming past. It remains uncertain whether the fleet is engaged in a battle or preparing for one, but they will face their ultimate challenge when Thrawn resurfaces with his own formidable naval forces.

Hera Syndulla Is Trying To Prevent Another War

Recognizing the enormity of the situation, Hera Syndulla takes decisive action by appealing to Chancellor Mon Mothma and a group of New Republic senators urging them to treat Thrawn's menace with utmost urgency. Hera underscores her personal journey, having grown up during the Clone Wars on Ryloth and serving as a esteemed general for the Rebel Alliance. With unwavering determination, Hera's primary objective in Ahsoka is to preempt an impending conflict and safeguard the hard-earned peace she passionately fought for over the course of several decades.

Ahsoka Trailer Reveals Sabine Was Ahsoka's Apprentice

The most astonishing revelation in the Ahsoka trailer was that Sabine Wren had once been an apprentice of Ahsoka. While confiding in Hera, Ahsoka hesitates to approach Sabine for assistance, remarking "she's just as stubborn as ever." Nonetheless, Ahsoka eventually persuades herself, resulting in a tense interaction when the teacher and student reunite, and Sabine coldly addresses Ahsoka as "master."

Ezra Imparts Jedi Wisdom To Sabine

While watching a hologram of Ezra Bridger, Sabine learns about the importance of making selfless decisions as a Jedi. This message contradicts what Ezra had previously shared with the Ghost crew in his farewell hologram during the Rebels finale. If Sabine was training in the Jedi arts under Ahsoka, it suggests that Ezra may have already begun his own journey before his disappearance.

Sabine's Transformation Pays Homage To Kanan Jarrus

Ahsoka Trailer Reveals Grand Admiral Thrawn

It seems that Sabine requires some persuasion from Ahsoka, as they meet in the same location on two occasions. This moment holds significant importance for Sabine as she humbly kneels before her Mandalorian helmet and proceeds to trim her hair before embarking on her expedition. This poignant scene bears a striking resemblance to when Kanan Jarrus, in a similar manner, prepared himself before his demise, with the framing and lighting being eerily identical.

Finally, we witness the grand entrance of Grand Admiral Thrawn in all his live-action splendor. Lars Mikkelsen impeccably embodies the essence of Thrawn, clad in his iconic white Imperial ensemble. With his unmistakable Chiss features accentuated by his prominent cheekbones, blue-toned skin, and piercing red eyes, an aura of commanding presence emanates from him. Standing beside him is a stormtrooper, their armor bearing scars of battles past and a striking golden faceplate, injecting a fresh perspective into the might of the Empire's military might.

Is Sabine Trying To Use The Force In The Ahsoka Trailer?

Coinciding with the revelation that Sabine was mentored by Ahsoka, she attempts to tap into the Force. Unfortunately, her endeavor proves to be unsuccessful, with Shin Hati remarking, "you possess no power." Despite demonstrating her proficiency in wielding a lightsaber and engaging in multiple battles against Shin in the trailer, Sabine finds herself exploring uncharted territory as she potentially discovers a connection to the Force.

The Ahsoka Trailer Reveals Baylan Knew Anakin Skywalker

At the location of the star map, Ahsoka confronts Baylan and their encounter escalates into a lightsaber duel. Baylan already recognizes Ahsoka and remarks, "Anakin spoke highly of you." While Ahsoka remains uninterested in discussing her troubled history, Baylan Skoll, a former Jedi himself, shows no hesitation in reminiscing about the past days of the Order.

Ahsoka Battles The Mysterious New Inquisitor

The mysterious Inquisitor adds another layer of intrigue by engaging Ahsoka in a fierce duel within a haunting forest. In the Ahsoka trailer, the enigmatic figure is shown confronting Tano in a new setting, causing trouble for her just like their predecessors. Although the identity of the Inquisitor remains unknown, the surprise on Ahsoka's face suggests that they may be someone she recognizes.
