Lucasfilm has just unveiled a fresh 30-second promotional spot for the eagerly awaited “Ahsoka” series. This new teaser offers fans a tantalizing peek into Sabine’s duel with Shin Hati, portrayed by Ivanna Sakhno, and more intriguingly, the training sessions between Ahsoka and Sabine.
The promotional strategy for “Ahsoka” seems to be heavily reliant on these short spots, reminiscent of the approach taken for “The Flash” earlier this summer. Given the challenges of having their stars promote the show in person, these spots are proving to be an effective way to keep the buzz alive and the anticipation mounting.
While it’s been known that the series would showcase the training between Ahsoka and Sabine, this is the first time fans are getting a visual taste of these sessions. Interestingly, most of the footage, including this latest one, seems to be from the initial episodes of the series.
The new spot intriguingly juxtaposes scenes from Sabine and Shin’s forest duel with the training sequences. From what’s been revealed so far, it appears there might be two significant duels between Sabine and Shin. Venturing into the realm of speculation, it’s possible that one of these duels is a flashback, suggesting that Sabine and Shin have a history. This past encounter might also shed light on the rift between Sabine and Ahsoka, leading up to their reunion as hinted in the “Rebels” prologue and the trailers for the upcoming series.
With the premiere of the first two episodes of “Ahsoka” just around the corner on August 23, fans are on the edge of their seats. For those looking to delve deeper into the character’s lore before the series launch, Star Wars News Net is running a daily series titled “Countdown to Ahsoka,” revisiting the character’s rich history.
