New STAR WARS: AHSOKA Photo Features a Mysterious Inquisitor Character
Here’s a new photo from Lucasfilm’s upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka series that features a mysterious and sinister-looking new Inquisitor character.
The Inquisitors were introduced in Star Wars: Rebels and they are Jedi hunters, who are tracking down and killing any surviving Jedi that managed to escape Order 66. They’ve appeared in the video game Jedi: Fallen Order as well as the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, where they made their live-action debut.
Inquisitors are an elite squad of former Jedi who are drawn to the Dark Side for the most part, they have only been explored between Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and Star Wars: A New Hope. But now, one is going to pop up in the Ahsoka series, which is set after the events of Return Of The Jedi, which is a time when there shouldn’t be any left.
So, it’s interesting to see that at least one has survived and they wield a dual-ended red lightsaber. This is definitely one of Darth Vader’s personal Jedi assassins and it will be interesting to see who is behind the mask.
The series is set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka “follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.”
Ahsoka and Sabine are on the hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn in hopes that it will lead them to find the lost Ezra Bridger. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is also set to star in the series and is playing Hera Syndulla, and the droid, Chopper, also returns.
On top of that, we’ve got Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, Ivanna Sakhno, Eman Esfandi as Ezra, Ray Stevenson as Baylon, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, and Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn. The limited series is written by Dave Filoni who executive produces along with Jon Favreau and Kathleen Kennedy.
The series will debut exclusively on Disney+ in August 2023.
