Ahsoka Two-Episode Disney+ Premiere Runtime Revealed
Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson is set to premiere on Disney+ August 23. Audiences are learning the run-time for the two episodes that will drop when the show makes it debut. Ahsoka will bring to life several character from the ‘Rebels’ animated series created by Dave Filoni.
Ahsoka Tano made her Star Wars debut in the 2008 animated film “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” She was introduced as the Padawan learner of Anakin Skywalker (later known as Darth Vader) and quickly became a central character in the subsequent “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” animated TV series, which premiered later in the same year. Ahsoka’s character was created by George Lucas and brought to life by Dave Filoni, becoming one of the most beloved and iconic characters in the Star Wars universe. Her story continued in Star Wars ‘Rebels.’
“Star Wars Rebels” takes place in the Star Wars universe, set between the events of “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” and “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.” The story follows a diverse group of rebels who come together to fight against the oppressive rule of the Galactic Empire.

The main protagonist is Ezra Bridger, a young Force-sensitive orphan who becomes a key member of the crew of the Ghost, a modified freighter spaceship led by the charismatic and resourceful Kanan Jarrus, a former Jedi Knight in hiding. Alongside them are the Twi’lek warrior Hera Syndulla, the Mandalorian explosives expert Sabine Wren, the grumpy but loyal Lasat warrior Zeb Orrelios, and the reprogrammed Imperial droid Chopper.
Throughout the series, the crew of the Ghost embarks on daring missions to sabotage the Empire’s plans, rescue captured allies, and support the growing Rebel Alliance. As they navigate the challenges of their cause, they face formidable adversaries, including the cunning and ruthless Imperial agent, Grand Admiral Thrawn.
The series beautifully explores themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the struggle to find one’s place in a galaxy torn apart by war. With its stunning animation, compelling character development, and seamless integration into the larger Star Wars saga, “Star Wars Rebels” captivates both longtime fans and newcomers alike, solidifying its place as an essential part of the Star Wars canon.
Ahsoka will continue many of the unfinished storylines from the Rebels series, and will revive beloved characters like Ezra Bridger, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Hera Syndulla, and Sabine Wren.
