Ahsoka, the original Disney+ Star Wars series headed to Disney+, has officially begun production.
Star Wars' official Twitter account shared the news with an image from the set. While it doesn't reveal much, it does show the show's logo on the back of a chair and the iconic hat of Ahsoka's writer and executive producer Dave Filoni.
No further details were given for the Ahsoka series, which we still know very little about. We also don't yet have an official release date or window, but it was confirmed that the limited series will take place within the timeline of The Mandalorian. Furthermore, the events will culminate in a "climactic story event" alongside The Mandalorian.
Ahsoka will star Rosario Dawson, who brought the Togruta former-Jedi to life in live-action after she was first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While Ashley Eckstein lent her voice to Ahsoka in the animated series, Dawson has been bringing her to life in the live-action space since Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian.
Joining Dawson will be Hayden Christensen, Ray Stevenson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ivanna Sakhno, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo.
Filoni had previously revealed that he's had an idea for a standalone series for Ahsoka, who was once Anakin Skywalker's padawan, for a "long time."
The wait for Ahsoka may be tough, but fans will be returning to that galaxy far, far away very soon as Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series is set to arrive with a two-episode premiere on May 27, 2022.
