The galaxy far, far away is once again taking center stage, with an exciting one-minute trailer for the highly anticipated Disney+ series, Ahsoka, highlighting 12 significant Jedi from the rich tapestry of Star Wars history. The spot, aptly named “Masters and Apprentices,” is all about connections, masterful lessons, and the perpetuity of the Force.
The intricate connection between the Star Wars universe and the Jedi’s philosophy and mystical abilities has been evident since the franchise’s inception. Following Disney’s shift of Star Wars into the streaming world on Disney+, the focus on Jedi-driven stories has been surprisingly rare. After the flashback scene in The Mandalorian Season 3, revisiting Order 66, the franchise is now setting its sights on more Jedi-centric narratives with the forthcoming Ahsoka series.
The relationship between Jedi masters and their apprentices in the new trailer is sure to capture the imagination of fans. The dialogue threads different eras and characters, featuring lines like Yoda’s timeless rule of two:
“Always two there are. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice.”
The latest Ahsoka trailer‘s unveiling presented an array of iconic and some fresh characters.
Luke Skywalker, arguably the leading character of the Star Wars franchise, stands as a poster child for the Jedi, with Mark Hamill’s portrayal spanning seven entries over 46 years. Initially an apprentice under Yoda, Luke later became a master, training characters like Leia Organa, Ben Solo, Rey, and Grogu. Speaking of Grogu, the Youngling better known as Baby Yoda became prominent after a connection to the Force was displayed in The Mandalorian’s Season 1, starting his training with Luke. Alec Guinness’s initial portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi saw the character continuing as both an apprentice and a master, guiding Anakin Skywalker, who subsequently mentored Ahsoka Tano.
Anakin himself became one of the most influential Jedi in history, a legacy to be explored in the upcoming Ahsoka series. In ‘Episode I’, Qui-Gon Jinn, portrayed by Liam Neeson, was Obi-Wan’s mentor before meeting his tragic end by Darth Maul’s blade. Ahsoka Tano is set to take the spotlight in her upcoming series, having learned from Anakin. The wise Yoda, introduced in The Empire Strikes Back, served as the master for numerous Jedi warriors. Rey, a new class of Jedi, was introduced in The Force Awakens and took the Skywalker name.
Baylan Skoll, debuting in Ahsoka, will have his own complex history with the Sith and Jedi. Shin Hati, a former Jedi, will serve as Skoll’s apprentice. Leia Organa, Luke’s sister, also followed the Jedi path before her unfortunate end in The Rise of Skywalker. Finally, Kylo Ren, who began as a Jedi youngling, evolved into one of the sequel trilogy’s main villains, showcasing the diverse and interconnected web of characters within the Star Wars universe.

Though the restoration of the Jedi Order seems unlikely in Ahsoka, the series will explore the lingering presence of the knights. Set photos hint at a revisit to the ruins of an old Jedi temple, and Ahsoka’s past is likely to be a focal point. What remains enigmatic is the extent of the Jedi’s influence on the main plotline. With Ahsoka Tano at the core, and her ties to central Star Wars figures, it’s undeniable that the Jedi legacy will be given a fresh perspective.
The new Ahsoka trailer is a tantalizing glimpse into a galaxy filled with wisdom, lineage, and the Force’s eternal dance between masters and apprentices. As the Star Wars universe expands into unknown and exciting territories, fans eagerly anticipate reuniting with cherished characters and exploring further the wisdom and allure of the Jedi.
The new chapter unfolds on Disney+ on Wednesday, August 23, ensuring that the Force will continue to captivate and inspire for generations to come.
