From Disney:
Today, Disney+ revealed August 23 as the premiere date for Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: Ahsoka.” To celebrate the upcoming series, Disney+ also debuted a TV spot, which will also air tonight during the NBA Finals Game 3…
Set after the fall of the Empire, “Star Wars: Ahsoka” follows the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. In addition to Rosario Dawson in the title role, “Ahsoka” stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn and Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger. The series is written by Dave Filoni, who executive produces alongside Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson, and Carrie Beck. Karen Gilchrist is co-executive producer.
This announcement comes off the heels of Empire Magazine’s latest issue featuring the series. The publication has given insight into the title character and how she’s the bridge into “what’s really possible”, Sabine’s driving force, and new information on the late Ray Stevenson’s Baylan Skoll. Also on the villainous side of things is a new Inquisitor, which Empire provided another look at.
The July issue of Empire becomes available tomorrow so expect more coverage here on Star Wars News Net in the days to come. For now, check out some official photos (also featured in Empire) from the series below:
The countdown is officially on for the long-awaited Star Wars: Ahsoka. In just over two months, the eight-episode first season debuts on August 23 exclusively on Disney Plus. And if Rosario Dawson gets her way about a potential season 2, this won’t be the last we see of her on the silver screen.
