‘Ahsoka’: Eric Steelberg and Quyen Tran Were the Cinematographers on the Upcoming Disney Plus Series
The Mandalorian season 3 is currently airing on Disney Plus, and it will be the first of three live-action Star Wars series coming to the platform this year. Next up is Ahsoka, which wrapped principal photography four months ago in Los Angeles and is currently in post-production.
We have learned through the website of Otto Nemenz International, a company that provided the cameras for the show, that Eric Steelberg and Quyen Tran were the two cinematographers on the upcoming series (hat tip to @SW_Covered for spotting it in the first place). Steelberg was the director of photography on 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife and three episodes of the Marvel Studios series Hawkeye, while Tran shot two episodes of Apple TV Plus’ Roar and 2020’s Palm Springs.

A release date for Ahsoka has not been set yet, but Rosario Dawson said recently it would come out during the fall, after Haunted Mansion premieres in theaters (July 28). Details will surely be provided at Star Wars Celebration, where they will also be showing the first trailer and possibly announcing the entire cast too. So far, besides Dawson, the only actresses confirmed to be on the series are Natasha Liu Bordizzo, who was announced to the world as Sabine Wren last May (and who could possibly show up soon in The Mandalorian season 3), and Ivanna Sakhno, who confirmed reports of her casting in late 2021, but whose role remains under wraps.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eman Esfandi, Ray Stevenson, and Matthew Law have all been reported to be in the series, though nothing has been officially confirmed. Winstead is rumored to be playing Hera Syndulla, who we know is in the series ever since Dave Filoni showed a minute-long teaser to Celebration audiences last year, while Esfandi is reportedly playing Ezra Bridger, who, along with Grand Admiral Thrawn, will probably be the McGuffin of the series.
Dave Filoni, Steph Green (The Book of Boba Fett), and Peter Ramsey, who directed the upcoming third episode of The Mandalorian season 3 as well as co-directed Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, all directed episodes for Ahsoka.
Stay tuned for more details on the series as they come to light.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
