A new interview with Ray Stevenson at the United Kingdom’s Star Wars Celebration has revealed the episode count for Rosario Dawson‘s new Star Wars series, Ahsoka, on Disney+. Ahsoka will have eight episodes in its first season, following in the footsteps of The Mandalorian’s three seasons, which also have eight episodes each. The news of Ahsoka’s episode count is not the only exciting development to come out of Star Wars Celebration, with the casting announcements of Eman Esfandi and Lars Mikkelsen as Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn, respectively.

What Will Ahsoka’s Episodes Cover?

Stevenson, in the interview, expressed excitement about the entire journey of Ahsoka, saying that he couldn’t pick just one episode that he’s most excited for fans to see. He likened it to choosing a favorite family member, indicating that each episode of the show will be thrilling. Moreover, rumors are circulating that there will be a mid-season twist in the series, with a major time skip after episode four. Given the official announcement of eight episodes, it makes logical sense for the twist to happen at the halfway point.

Conclusion

Fans will have to wait until August to experience the “whole journey” of Ahsoka’s eight episodes on Disney+. The series is shaping up to be a spiritual successor to Star Wars Rebels, with the casting of Esfandi and Mikkelsen as Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn, respectively. The episode count of eight matches The Mandalorian, the only other show on Disney+ to have this episode count.
