Ahsoka is the latest Star Wars TV series on Disney+. This one’s about a character who’s beloved by fans of the franchise’s animated series – but if you only know the Star Wars movies, you’re likely meeting her for the very first time. Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) was once a Jedi who rejected the Order’s stuffy, bureaucratic ways and is harboring a great sense of guilt over her mentor becoming Darth Vader. She’s back with a new Jedi mentee of her own (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) as they try to stop a new threat to the galaxy.
