Ahsoka Turns to a Stubborn Sabine Wren for Help in New Disney+ Trailer

Disney+ on Tuesday morning released a new trailer for its live-action Ahsoka series, which will now premiere with two episodes, on Wednesday, Aug. 23.

The new footage plays up the dynamic between Ahsoka Tano (played by The Mandalorian‘s Rosario Dawson) and Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), as well as features much of the late Ray Stevenson (Black Sails) as the power-hungry villain Baylan Skolland.
