‘Ahsoka’: Hera and Chopper Take Flight in New Clip
A new clip from Star Wars: Ahsoka has Hera Syndulla and her droid C1-10P (better known as Chopper), taking the Phantom II for a spin, a day before the new series debuts; the short scene depicted below is indeed from the two-episode premiere.
Rotten Tomatoes has revealed an exclusive new clip of the Ahsoka series focused on the continued adventures of two of the leads of Star Wars Rebels aboard the Phantom II, the auxiliary starfighter to the Ghost. Chopper previously appeared in live-action in a cameo role in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but Hera is making her live-action debut here, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Check out the clip here:
It is also the second clip released from the series in recent days; on Friday, the day after the world premiere of the series and multiple fan screenings across the US, Lucasfilm revealed a few seconds from this same episode in which the chase scene started, intercut with a ground-level fight between Ahsoka, Marrok, and an assassin droid.
Hera and Chopper are among the various Rebels characters set to appear in the upcoming series, which is set after the character’s cameos in The Mandalorian season 2 and The Book of Boba Fett. The new series, which hails from showrunner Dave Filoni (who also directed the pilot), prominently features the live-action debuts of Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi), and Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), along with The Clone Wars character Professor Huyang (David Tennant).
The two-episode premiere of Star Wars: Ahsoka will arrive tomorrow evening; look forward to our non-spoiler review coming in the morning and later, our spoiler discussion of the first two episodes. The remaining six episodes will air on subsequent Tuesday evenings.
