The long-awaited Star Wars series ‘Ahsoka’ finally has a release date. As we all know, Rosario Dawson debuted as the live-action version of the character in the second season of ‘The Mandalorian,’ and in December 2020, Disney and Lucasfilm announced that Ahsoka’s own spin-off series is in development.

Ahsoka debuted in the Star Wars lore with the animated movie ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ in 2008, and she also appeared in the homonymous TV series that premiered later that year and aired for six seasons until 2014. The seventh and final season was subsequently produced by Disney+ in 2020.

Ahsoka was depicted in ‘The Clone Wars’ as a 14-year-old Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. She also appeared in the sequel series ‘Star Wars Rebels’ and the miniseries ‘Tales of the Jedi.’ In all of her animated appearances, she was voiced by Ashley Eckstein, and Rosario Dawson debuted as the live-action version of the character in ‘The Mandalorian’ Chapter 13, and she also reprised the role in the sixth episode of ‘The Book of Boba Fett.’

The next Star Wars live-action series finally has a premiere date!

Disney+ officially confirmed that Ahsoka will premiere on the streamer on August 23, 2023. The series is set after the fall of the Empire, and it will follow the title Jedi Knight as she’s investigating an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. With the release date announcement, Disney+ also revealed a new official TV spot, which you can check down below:

After the initial announcement at Disney’s Investor Day in December 2020, we didn’t hear much about the upcoming spin-off series before the most recent Star Wars Celebration event, which took place in London, UK, last April. At the event, Lucasfilm presented the first official trailer and poster and revealed that the series would premiere in August this year, and now we finally have the exact premiere date.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
