Ahsoka, the Star Wars Disney+ TV show, will soon be released, leaving viewers curious about the number of episodes and the season 1 finale date. Ahsoka Tano, first introduced in the 2008 animated movie Star Wars: The Clone Wars, was initially portrayed by Ashley Eckstein in various animated TV shows. However, in the live-action adaptation, Ahsoka is played by Rosario Dawson.
Dawson's portrayal of Ahsoka in The Mandalorian season 2 and The Book of Boba Fett received positive feedback, leading to a spinoff series that follows the Jedi Master's quest to find Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ahsoka also brings other animated Star Wars Rebels characters to the live-action screen, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead cast as the rebel leader Hera Syndulla and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren. Throughout the galaxy, the menacing Grand Admiral Thrawn looms, a formidable Imperial villain with the intellect to overthrow the young New Republic.
How Many Episodes Are In Ahsoka
Created by Dave Filoni, Lucasfilm's Ahsoka comprises a total of eight episodes, mirroring the episode count of other live-action Star Wars TV shows like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. The first two episodes of Ahsoka are set to premiere on Wednesday, August 23, at the stroke of midnight PST / 3.00am EST. Subsequently, the remaining six episodes will be released weekly, also on Wednesdays and at the same time.
How Long Ahsoka's Episodes Will Be
Davie Filoni stated that Ahsoka's episodes were written with durations similar to those of The Mandalorian. However, this is only a rough estimate since episodes of The Mandalorian varied greatly in length. In general, the first two seasons had episodes that lasted around 30-35 minutes, although there were exceptions like the introduction of live-action Ahsoka in season 2, episode 5, which had a 48-minute duration.
When Ahsoka's Finale Airs
Ahsoka's first two episodes will premiere on Wednesday, August 23. The remaining six episodes will be released weekly thereafter. The finale of Ahsoka will air on Wednesday, October 4 at 12:00am PST / 3:00am EST.
Episode 3: Wednesday, August 30
Episode 4: Wednesday, September 6
Episode 5: Wednesday, September 13

Despite concluding in October, Ahsoka's future in the Star Wars galaxy looks promising. The series is anticipated to lay the foundation for Filoni's upcoming movie set in the Mandalorian era. Additionally, Rosario Dawson, the star of Ahsoka, has openly expressed her aspirations for the second season.
