“Ahsoka,” as played by Dawson, was recently introduced in live-action form in Disney+ series “The Mandalorian.” We are delighted to see the streaming service advance the character, and give her more of the attention she deserves.

“Rangers of the New Republic” is set within the timeline of “The Mandalorian.” This new live-action series from executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will intersect with future stories and culminate into a climactic story event.
