Ahsoka

*This page is about the Ahsoka TV show. You may be looking for Ahsoka Tano.*

***Ahsoka***, also named ***Star Wars: Ahsoka***, is an upcoming live-action television limited series that was announced on December 10, 2020. It will star Rosario Dawson and will air exclusively on Disney+ in 2023. It will be written by Dave Filoni and produced by him and Jon Favreau.

## Official description

*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.*

## Development

"Ahsoka *is a continuous story. It is definitely driving toward a goal, in my mind, as opposed to being little singular adventures. That's what I want the character to be doing, and I think that's what fans want now. They have such a relationship with her. I've only recently started to understand that all those kids that watched Clone Wars are now a lot older—they're very excited about all the things they grew up with, as they should be.*"
―Dave Filoni

Rumors of a live-action Ahsoka Tano–led series first circulated on the internet in March of 2020, just weeks after Disney CEO Bob Iger hinted at an earnings call that spinoffs of characters from *The Mandalorian* were in development. When Tano made her live-action debut in "Chapter 13: The Jedi" in *The Mandalorian* Season Two, she became a character that could be the focus of a *Mandalorian* spin-off, and the series was officially announced by Lucasfilm Ltd. President Kathleen Kennedy on an investors day presentation on December 10, 2020. A StarWars.com post later that day confirmed that Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni would executive produce the series, and that it would be written by Filoni and star Rosario Dawson.

On May 9, 2022, the show started production. The creator of Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn," Timothy Zahn, was consulted, and will continue to be consulted with, for matters concerning the Grand Admiral's character to make sure Thrawn was written just right. Zahn himself said he had "spoken a couple of times" about Thrawn and would "discuss things more thoroughly in the future."
