It was announced that episodes will drop on Disney+ every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. This is a departure from the previous Wednesday morning cadence that had been in place for series like The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor.
Ahsoka will be an eight-episode series set in the same timeframe as The Mandalorian season 3 in the era of the fledgling New Republic, although Ahsoka senses a darkness rising and a potential heir to the Empire.
With the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Disney has been promoting the series with fan events rather than star-studded premieres.
