The Force is with Star Wars followers desperate to see the brand new Disney+ sequence Ahsoka. Disney+ has introduced that the present, that includes Rosario Dawson within the lead function, will now premiere with a two-episode debut on Tuesday, August 22, at 9/8c, sooner or later sooner than scheduled.

Disney+ will launch subsequent Ahsoka episodes on Tuesdays at 9/8c, a uncommon primetime launch schedule in a streaming trade dominated by middle-of-the-night episode drops.

Set after the autumn of the Empire, Ahsoka “follows the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano, Padawan to Anakin Skywalker, as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy,” Disney+ says.

Reprising her function from The Mandalorian, Dawson performs Ahsoka Tano, a live-action model of a personality Ashley Eckstein voiced within the animated sequence Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Lars Mikkelsen is enjoying Grand Admiral Thrawn within the sequence, a personality voiced in Star Wars Rebels, and David Tennantis as soon as once more voicing the droid Huyang, as he did in Clone Wars.

Other forged members embrace Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead because the New Republic normal Hera Syndulla, the late Ray Stevenson as mercenary Baylan Skull, and Ivanna Sakhno as Baylan’s apprentice Shin Hati, and Diana Lee Inosanto as former Justice of the Peace Morgan Elsbeth.

Some fortunate Star Wars devotees obtained to see Ahsoka’s first two episodes even earlier, at fan occasions Disney hosted on Thursday, August 17, at Disneyland in California, Disney World in Florida, and venues in Hollywood, New York, and San Francisco. “Rosario Dawson killed it,” one attendee mentioned in Disney+’s sizzle reel about the events.

Still to return in Star Wars’ galaxy of live-action TV sequence are Skeleton Crew, starring Jude Law, The Acolyte, starring Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae, and Lando, written by Stephen and Donald Glover.
