Some important details of the Star Wars series, Ahsoka, have been leaked. The role of Grand Admiral Thrawn in the series, some villains and… undead stormtroopers?
While The Mandalorian initially seemed to be laying the groundwork for a story exploring the creation of Supreme Leader Snoke. The series has also set the stage for Grand Admiral Thrawn to return to the Star Wars universe.
The villain was last seen being dragged through hyperspace alongside Ezra Bridger in Star Wars Rebels. Although no one knows where they got to. However, Ahsoka Tano is looking for Thrawn and believes that by finding him, he will reunite with his old friend.
According to Making Star Wars, two characters named Baylon and his apprentice, Shin, help Morgan Elsbeth on her mission to find Thrawn.
Ray Stevenson plays Baylon and is believed to be a former Jedi who escaped Order 66. However, he fell to the Dark Side. He supposedly has a history with Thrawn (the site speculates that the Imperial could have saved him from death or turned him into a Sith Inquisitor, thus creating some sort of bond between the two men).
His armor has something of a “samurai aesthetic” to it, while his weapon is described as a “red Claymore Saber” that is heavier than normal and swings with immense power.
Shin (played by Ivanna Sakhno) supposedly leads a squad of undead Stormtroopers against Ahsoka and our heroes later in the series. As the site explains, their helmets have “red and gold filaments that move along the fine veined crevices,” while they also feature “magical red bands tied around various parts of their armor that were placed there by the Sisters.” of the night”.
As for Shin’s weapon of choice, it is a “red lightsaber with pincers” and he moves at lightning speeds with the blade.
It’s clear that Ahsoka is going to explore the Force and the Star Wars mythos in a way unlike anything we’ve seen before, though that lines up with a lot of what we saw in Rebels. Hopefully the Star Wars Celebration that will take place in London this April confirms these leaks or sheds some light on what we will see in the series starring Anakin Skywalker’s former pupil.
