Ahsoka is dropping on Disney Plus early
Disney+The premiere of Ahsoka is dropping on Disney Plus early, and that’s not all – Star Wars fans can look forward to watching new episodes a day earlier than planned.
After her brief appearances in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka is the long-awaited, solo live-action debut of the titular Jedi.
While we’ve yet to see any full reviews, the first reactions have been incredibly positive, with critics praising its “epic, heart-pounding” action and “pure Star Wars magic.”
It’s one of the most anticipated shows in the franchise, expected to bring in and expand upon the canon of The Clone Wars and Rebels – and we’re getting it a day early.

Ahsoka will premiere on Disney+ on Tuesday, August 22, at 6pm PT.

“We’re excited to announce that new episodes of #Ahsoka will now launch Tuesdays at 6PM PT, starting with our two-episode premiere on August 22, only on @DisneyPlus.”
