Ahsoka takes place in the Star Wars universe and is a spinoff of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian.
The show follows Ahsoka Tano (Dawson), a former Jedi Knight, as she "investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy."
The new teaser shows Ahsoka take on the villainous Baylan Skoll (Stevenson), who wields a unique orange lightsaber.
"Anakin spoke highly of you," Baylan tells Ahsoka, referencing Ahsoka's former Jedi master Anakin Skywalker.
"I'm not here to discuss my past," Ahsoka responds.
Disney+ released a teaser last week that revisits iconic Jedi masters and apprentices from the Star Wars universe.
Ahsoka will have a two-episode premiere Aug. 23 on Disney+, with subsequent episodes to follow weekly.
