That’s right, Star Wars fans — the iconic franchise is far from over, and we just got a sneak peak of the latest addition. Premiering this month, the newest Disney+ sereis will focus on one of our favorite women in the Star Wars universe: Ahsoka Tano.
The first teaser trailer was released alongside exclusive posters at STAR WARS Celebration in London. Disney+ and Lucasfilm unveiled the thrilling teaser for the highly anticipated Disney+ original series Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson in the lead role. Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.
The latest teaser features Ahsoka remembering some of Anakin's teaching from when she was his Padawan. Anakin Skywalker's arc from the rising hope of the galaxy to its greatest tyrant is one of our favorite (and most devastating!) character arcs ever. After a stint on last year's Obi-Wan Kenobi, we're hoping we get to see Hayden Christensen onscreen again (as a pre-Darth Vader Anakin, please)!
Fans first fell in love with Ahsoka in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which ran from 2008 to 2014, and then again in 2020.

In addition to Dawson, Ahsoka stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Mandalorian Warrior Sabine Wren and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Twi'lek Revolutionary Leader Hera Syndulla.
Fans have waited patiently for the return of their favorite franchise, taking to social media to express their excitement.

I am tearing up just trying to process into reality how beautiful this #Ahsoka show will be. 12 year old Hannah feels so so so satisfied that I pushed through the embarrassment of liking Star Wars as a girl and now my job is to cover Star Wars. I LOVE AHSOKA!
The first two episodes of Ahsoka will drop on Disney+ August 23, 2023.
How many seasons will Ahsoka have?
As of now, Ahsoka is a mini-series, likely meaning there will only be one season of the show.
Who is cast in Ahsoka?
Rosario Dawson leads the show as Ahsoka herself. The rest of the cast is made up of stars like Hayden Christensen (Darth Vader), Daisy Ridley (Rey), Eman Esfandi (Ezra Bridger), and Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Sabine Wren).
We’re certainly excited to see how the Star Wars franchise continues to grow with Star Wars: Ahsoka. With women leading the newest edition we know it’s going to be amazing.
