Empire Magazine shares another exclusive photo from their July issue, featuring Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano on the cover(s), depicting a mysterious Inquisitor wielding a double-bladed lightsaber from the Disney+ Ahsoka series.
Start your investigations now, people. With Ahsoka set to take place in the same post-Return Of The Jedi period as The Mandalorian, there shouldn’t be any Inquisitors left at this point. Several of them are – SPOILER ALERT – taken out at the end of Rebels Season 2, and bumped off in the Jedi games too. After the fall of the Empire, the time of the Inquisitors should well and truly be over. And yet, the distinctive dual-ended red lightsaber, with a handy circular handle in the middle, is undoubtedly that of Vader’s personal anti-Jedi hit-squad. Get a load of that formidable armour, too.
How it all fits together in Ahsoka should be thrilling to behold – the series not only letting Rosario Dawson headline her own Star Wars show as the beloved animated character in live-action form, but also bringing in the likes of Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, and the formidable Grand Admiral Thrawn, and conjuring fresh lightsaber-wielding baddies in Ray Stevenson’s Baylan Skoll and Ivanna Sakhno’s Shin Hati too. With so many delicious ingredients coming together, and no idea how they’ll be combined, there’s no wonder we’re feeling a little, well, inquisitive.
