AHSOKA: Rumored Production Start Date And Disney+ Release Date Window Revealed

Ahsoka is one of the most highly anticipated Star Wars TV shows coming to Disney+, and we now have an update on when cameras start rolling and a rough release date window. Read on for further details...

The Mandalorian introduced us to a live-action Ahsoka Tano played by Rosario Dawson, and the news that her story would continue in a spinoff series was welcomed by fans. Since then, we've heard relatively little about Ahsoka aside from the odd rumour here and there relating to returning characters.

It's probably a given that the series will follow Ahsoka as she continues her search for Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger, making it a sequel of sorts to the popular Star Wars Rebels animated series. 

Now, The Bespin Bulletin is reporting that "Ahsoka will film up until the Fall of 2022 and is currently aiming to release around the Spring of 2023 exclusively on Disney+." This follows reports that cameras will begin rolling early next year, and with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor already set for 2022 (along with The Mandalorian season 3), it's not exactly a surprise that Ahsoka won't arrive for a while.

Lucasfilm appears to be prioritising telling stories set in this Galaxy Far, Far Away on the small screen for now, especially since Rogue Squadron has been delayed after Patty Jenkins' rumoured departure over "creative differences." We don't know how far along Kevin Feige and Taika Waititi's separate Star Wars movies are, though the scripts are currently being worked on. 

As always, keep checking back here for updates. Oh, and while you're here, check out our interview with Daisy Ridley about the possibility of suiting up as Spider-Woman in the player below:

Was kinda expecting it to be released in Q4 of 2023, so it being earlier is a nice surprise. Maybe even then Mandalorian S4 will premiere in 2023 as well

@bkmeijer - rumour was it a few months ago that Mandalorian was ending with season 3. May be wise, can have too much of a good thing

@Cap1 - I think Esposito talked about season 3 and 4, so I guess there are plans ready for it. But after that, yeah it might be better to stop

@bkmeijer - that's true, I had forgotten he mentioned that. I can see S3 being Djarin taking the Mandalore throne after facing off with Bo-Katan, then S4 could be all about him being ruler. Or maybe he won't want the throne, that'd be more inline with the character

@Cap1 - yeah my guess as well. Could see Gideon escape during S3 and then becomes the threat that Mandalore has to face in S4.

Also, I don't think we'll see Grogu again until maybe S03E08. And no way they're gonna end the show before he returns to Din's side.

Cap1 - 11/19/2021, 11:06 AM
@bkmeijer - I'd love another duel between Mando and Gideon, so i'd be down for that. Such a great villain. Yeah I think so too, either they'll time-jump a lot within S3, or something happens that means Grogu has to go back to Din. Wouldn't complain about more prime Luke, that's for sure

@Cap1 - kinda hope the tech evolves enough so that we can get a Luke that can carry a whole show. Really wanna see his Jedi Academy.

Could even get a young Ben Skywalker, Chewie and Artoo on the show. And it wouldn't even mess with the canon, since all we know the Academy was found in 15 aby and not destroyed until 28 aby.

@bkmeijer - Just recast. I don’t want a CGI-Face Luke leading a series. They’ve got to move on. Give us Sebastian Stan, Billie Lourd (sure, she already had a canon role but no one will care) and bring back Alden if we’re revisiting the young OT heroes.

@SerKurtWagner - I rather see someone like Sebastian Stan in the role too, but given that deep learning tech improves on an exponential rate I fully assume it will be possible to do it with a stand-in in a couple of years

@bkmeijer - I definitely foresee it happening, I just really hate the idea of it. On an artistic and philosophical level, but also because no matter how good the face gets, you're still stuck with an old body moving like an old person. (Looking at you, Irishman)

@SerKurtWagner - if they can get an actual agile person or stand-in I can see it work. Whatever they used for The First Avenger with skinny Steve, they could consider doing that here too

Thought maybe we'd get it in 2022. Hopefully she pops up again in another show to help keep the interest up for casual fans.

the episode with her was so average. Michael Biehns character could have been used much more here. i do not see the point in asoka even being in the episode. it could have been any jedi or person with knowledge of where to take the kid in that role. she does not have much of a story. mando shows up and takes over the episode. she got out light sabers. big [frick]ing deal.
