Ahsoka Tano has been an essential character in the Star Wars universe since she arrived in the 2008 theatrical animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars. She was introduced as the Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, with the two sharing a close bond throughout The Clone Wars series despite not having any canon appearance in the prequel trilogy.

Ahsoka then made her way to Star Wars: Rebels in 2014, confirming to audiences that the character survived the original trilogy timeline. Disney has been eager to feature more of her character, which we saw with Rosario Dawson in The Mandalorian Season 2, and The Book of Boba Fett.

The apprentice turned Jedi is getting her own show now, Ahsoka, which is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 12, 2023. The series will star Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ray Stevenson, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, and Ivanna Sakhno. Hayden Christensen will reportedly reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker for the series. Ahsoka director and writer Dave Filoni has seen an episode of the forthcoming series, calling it a ‘religious experience.’ In an interview at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, via Laughing Place, Dawson shared Filoni’s thoughts with the crowd in attendance.

Fans can experience the show for themselves when Ahsoka lands on Disney+ on March 12, 2023.

“So, I will say this. I will probably get in trouble for saying this, but Dave [Filoni] saw one of the episodes already edited together, and he walked up, him and Carrie Beck, both, like, glossy-eyed, and he said to me that it was ‘a religious experience.’”

Star Wars Has Plenty of Content to Keep Fans Busy

     Disney+

Since the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney in 2014, the massive company has managed to release several very successful projects. The first was Rebels, which ran for four seasons until 2018. After that, Disney would release three more animated shows, Resistance, The Bad Batch, and Visions. In addition, tales of the Jedi and Young Jedi Adventures are still slated to premiere in late 2022 and early 2023.

Their live-action series’, released on Disney+, have seen enormous success since The Mandalorian premiered in 2019. The Book of Boba Fett would arrive two years later, followed by Obi-Wan Kenobi earlier this year. Next month, Andor will arrive, with Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew coming in 2023. The Acolyte and Lando have been officially announced; however, a release date is still unknown.

Fans of Star Wars have a lot to look forward to with several upcoming projects and expect to see a lot more of Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano when the marketing begins to ramp up for the show.
