Ahsoka is set to premiere on Disney+ later this year, and all signs point to Lucasfilm having ambitious plans for Rosario Dawson's take on the fan-favourite character.
After gaining a massive following for her role in The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels (where she was voiced by Ashley Eckstein), Ahsoka Tano finally made her live-action debut in The Mandalorian, with Dawson later reprising the role in The Book of Boba Fett. She's now set to take centre stage in that spin-off, though there have already been rumblings about season 2 plans.
Before we get to that, of course, it would be nice to know when we can expect Ahsoka to continue the former Jedi's story!
During a recent interview on TODAY with Hoda and Jenna (via SFFGazette.com), Dawson shared a likely premiere date window for the show. "'Ahsoka,' that's going to probably come out in the Fall," she confirmed. "We're going to have 'Haunted Mansion' coming out in August first."
The new Haunted Mansion movie recently shifted to The Marvels' release date in July, so that's actually coming a little sooner than expected. With The Mandalorian set to wrap up after eight weeks in late April, a Fall debut would be a long wait for fans. Skeleton Crew is also expected to debut this year, so Ahsoka could be moved up a little.
We'd expect an official announcement to be made during this April's Star Wars Celebration, anyway.
Primarily a Star Wars Rebels sequel dealing with the respective fates of Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ahsoka promises to be an important addition to the franchise as Dave Filoni continues to explore the Galaxy's lore. With Hayden Christensen expected to return as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, it should be one worth keeping an eye on.
Recent rumours have even indicated this show is going to delve into very different sides of this Galaxy, with magic deepening the Star Wars franchise's mythology in new and unexpected ways. That won't sit well with every fan, of course, but we have all the faith in the world in Dave Filoni's storytelling abilities.
