Morgan Elsbeth actor Diana Lee Inosanto teases the character’s backstory in the upcoming Ahsoka series. We fans of course have briefly met Elsbeth within the Ahsoka episode of The Mandalorian Season 2. Ahsoka defeated Elsbeth in combat and we were left on a sort of cliff-hanger as to what happened next.
We know that Elsbeth’s role in Ahsoka is larger and we have some rumors about what she is up to. However, this is official news, so I’ll stay clear of any potential spoilers from those leaks. Inosanto recently chatted with EW about Ahsoka and teased we will find out more about Morgan Elsbeth’s story.
Beginning by remarking that she was surprised her character even had a name when The Mandalorian aired, Inosanto was surprised to find she was coming back for Ahsoka.
“When I found out that they were going expand her character, I was just over the moon about this,” she said. “I just couldn’t believe how the planets and the stars aligned. And to be able to work with such a magnificent cast and to grow as an actress and feel that energy, it’s a dream come true.”
Inosanto then explained that one of the defining traits of her character is her loyalty to a certain Grand Admiral Thrawn.
“The beautiful thing was, Dave was always there to assist me on what her backstory is,” she said. “She’s quite the manipulator, and we all know she’s cold-hearted, but this is a character that is truly dedicated and loyal to Grand Admiral Thrawn. And there’s nothing getting in her way.”

However, it also sounds like we will be finding out why Elsbeth is so loyal to Thrawn in the show also.
“What I really love is that we are going to get into her backstory,” Inosanto gushed. “I’m just thrilled and excited, and I think the fans are going be quite fascinated and pretty happy about this.”
If you do want to get into some Ahsoka plot rumors, feel free to check the related link above. Though, as I said above, I’ll keep that chat locked in this article. For now, all we officially know is that Elsbeth has a connection to Thrawn. Though, clearly Elsbeth remains in the familiar part of the Galaxy, whereas Thrawn is off, who knows where? Ahsoka clearly wants to use Elsbeth to find Thrawn, to find Ezra. However, was Ahsoka successful in getting any information out of Elsbeth? Or, was she just trying to spook her into revealing some information? I guess we will find out in August, or so we think?
