Star Wars Ahsoka Tano is a popular character in the franchise. After her animated introduction, her story will return in a Marvel comic adaptation.
Star Wars Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan, recently made her return to the screen in the Disney+ series “Ahsoka”. The character first appeared in the 2008 “The Clone Wars” animated movie, voiced by Ashley Eckstein.
In the following animated series, “The Clone Wars” and “Rebels,” Ahsoka follows and ultimately rejects the Jedi Order, survives the purge, aids the rebellion, teams up with her infamous Ghost crew resistance fighters, and even battles Darth Vader.
Her adventures with Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, and Professor Huang are coming to comics this summer. Marvel will adapt the series alongside fan favorites “The Mandalorian” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” The 8-issue Ahsoka mini-series arrives in July. It is written by Rodney Barnes with art from Steven Cummings. The story follows each episode from the first season of the TV series. Season 2 is currently in development.
“It’s a true honor to be adapting Ahsoka,” says Barnes. “The character is the essence of classic Star Wars: layered, complex, and fun! I hope the fans enjoy this adaptation as much as the series it’s adapted from.”
The issue 1 cover (David Nakayama) and variants (Annie Wu and Jan Duurema) have been revealed.
The official description was also released at the same time:
“After the fall of THE EMPIRE, Jedi Master AHSOKA TANO stalks the galaxy for GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN!
A valuable prisoner escapes New Republic custody; a search for answers reunites two old friends. The villainous MORGAN ELSBETH returns along with two new mysterious Force-users, BAYLAN SKOLL and his apprentice, SHIN HATI.”
