Alien cats and space witches? Here are the characters and events to know in ‘Star Wars: Ahsoka’

“Ahsoka” has everything audiences have come to expect from a “Star Wars” show: action, cute creatures and references to lore that you may or may not be familiar with. They’ve previously appeared in “Star Wars Rebels” as well as in an episode of “The Mandalorian.” Although Loth-cats usually live in the wild, Ahsoka’s wayward apprentice Sabine Wren appears to have domesticated at least one of them. Hera first appeared in “Star Wars Rebels” as the ace pilot of the Ghost and one of the leaders of its close-knit crew called the Spectres. A Mandalorian warrior, artist and explosives expert, Sabine was also introduced in “Star Wars Rebels” as a member of the Ghost crew. An orphan who grew up on the streets of Lothal, Ezra joined the Ghost crew at the start of “Star Wars Rebels.” The Force-sensitive teenager became an apprentice to Kanan Jarrus, the leader of the Spectres and a Jedi who survived Order 66 as a young padawan himself.
