Making Star Wars is reporting that Ivanna Sakhno (Pacific Rim: Uprising) will play a character named Shin in Ahsoka, the upcoming Disney-Star Wars series.

Reportedly, Shin is a new character that has the dark side of the Force and so is some form of allegiance to the Nightsisters the fierce Witches of Dathomir prominently seen in Clone Wars. In this report, it says that Shin might even be a former Nightsister herself.

Shin is apparently the disciple/apprentice of Baylon, a former Jedi who survived Order 66 by fleeing to the Unknown Regions. Baylon, which is said to be aliased with grand Admiral Thrawn, is bringing Shin after the titular Jedi, Ahsoka Tano.

Rosario Dawson is acting like a Tano in the limited series after a live-action debut inThe Mandalorian. The character did not expect to continue that story. From the beginning of the year, I joined Dawson with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ray Stevenson.

This limited-length is written by Dave Filoni, who is executive producer with Jon Favreau and Kathleen Kennedy.
