Ahsoka Features Iconic Ship From Return of the Jedi:

The T-6 Jedi Shuttle isn’t the only cool ship featured in Ahsoka. The starship known as Home One is also seen in the show when the titular character (Rosario Dawson) meets with General Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in the ship’s briefing room. If you didn’t recognize this iconic Rebel Alliance ship, it was previously captained by Admiral Ackbar in Return of the Jedi. In fact, it’s where he uttered his most famous line, “It’s a trap!” You can also spot some Mon Calamari in Ahsoka, which are the same species as Ackbar. You can check out a side-by-side of the ship from Return of the Jedi and Ahsoka below:
