Disney + Star Wars mini series Review: ****^Ahsoka

 Rosario Dawson stars as Ahsoka, continuing from Clone Wars, Rebels, and Mandalorian.  This is the period after the Empire has been defeated, but Ahsoka is worried about the return of Thrawn.  Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), was her intern, and becomes that again.  She is also accompanied by a droid, Huyang (David Tennant)a who served at the Jedi temple and help many Jedi construct their light sabers.  Other characters who help them are Hera (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly)

Thos who are pursuing the return of Thrawn (Lars Mikkelson)  are Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) of the witches, Baylon Skol (Ray Stevenson), former Jedi knight turned to the dark side and his apprentice Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno).  Skol appears to be helping, but is more interested in getting to Peridea where he can continue his studies of the dark side of the force.

The first few episodes revolve around finding thrawn and/or Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi).  There is a dilemma, in finding Bridger, you also find Thrawn, who can make things very difficult for the New Republic.  The New Republic government however does not believe Thrawn is coming back, as he has been gone for some time.  Consequently Ahsoka and Wren have to solve this on their own.  However they actually get separated, and it appears Ahsoka has been killed.  Wren is taken captive by those looking for Thrawn, and thereby meets Thrawn, and is released to look for Bridger.  And Skol and Hati are sent after her to kill both her and Bridger.  In the meantime, Ahsoka is on her way having traveled by purrgil.

This show is very enjoyable.  It ends with Wren and Ahoska in a terrible fix, and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) watching over them.  There is plenty of action, Skol vs Ahsoka, Ahsoka vs Morgan Elsbeth, Shin Hati vs Sabine Wren.  There is a bit too much witchiness for my taste, but in flows into the show.
