In a franchise full of fan favorites, Ahsoka Tano is up there with Boba Fett and Salacious Crumb. While the padawan-turned-rebel fighter is seen and occasionally heard in countless Star Wars movies and TV shows, Ahsoka is finally getting the overdue star treatment with the new Disney+ series "Ahsoka."
Lucky for fans, the wait for the new series is over. The first two episodes of "Ahsoka" landed on Disney+ on August 22, 2023. Here's what you need to know.

'Ahsoka' release date
The first two episodes of 'Ahsoka' are available to stream starting August 22, 2023. The remaining five episodes will stream every Tuesday until September 26.
What is 'Ahsoka' about?
In 'Ahsoka,' we learn that Ahsoka acted as a Force mentor for Sabine Wren.
"Ahsoka" stars Rosario Dawson, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lars Mikkelsen, Ray Stevenson, Ivanna Sakhno, and Diana Lee Inosanto. In the series, the empire has finally fallen after The Battle of Andor, and The New Republic is established with Chancellor Mon Mothma at its helm. But the last vestiges of the empire clings to life, even without Palpatine on the throne.
Former Jedi Padawan (and Anakin Skywalker apprentice) Ahsoka Tano is no stranger to the endless struggle for freedom. Now, she must investigate new threats to the galaxy and snuff them out before they threaten the new, but still-fledging peace.
The series is being helmed as a "Star Wars: Rebels" sequel, bringing back fan-favorite characters like Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, and Admiral Thrawn. If you want to catch up on "Rebels" before starting "Ahsoka," you can catch the full series on Disney+.
Is Ahsoka Tano a Jedi or Sith?
Ahsoka is neither a Jedi or a Sith; she walked away from the Jedi Order during the "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" series. She is Anakin Skywalker's former apprentice who was kicked out of the Order after being wrongfully accused of treason. Once she is exonerated, she declines the invitation to return to the Order, opting instead to follow her own path.
