While Andor takes place before the Death Star is destroyed, the latest Star Wars spinoff series, Ahsoka, focuses on the New Republic after the fall of the Galactic Empire.

Rosario Dawson plays Ahsoka Tano, a former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker who walks away from the order after the Clone Wars. After cameos in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, the former Jedi Knight investigates a rising threat in the new Disney+ original series.
