The Ahsoka Live series is its crown jewel Disney Plus schedule for August 21-27.
Starting August 23, Star Wars fans can finally watch Ahsoka, the series that follows the popular titular heroine. The Disney-owned streamer will release the first two episodes simultaneously, with new installments premiering every Wednesday through October 4. Skywalker’s former Padawan is played by Rosario Dawson. The cast includes Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelhann as Ad, Esfanti as Ezra Bridger.
Ahsoka will make history on Disney Plus for a number of reasons, including being the first live-action Star Wars series to focus solely on someone who debuted as an animated character. More importantly, Ahsoka is the first female Star Wars character to lead a series. Introduced in the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and subsequent television series, Ahsoka quickly became a fan favorite. Her live-action debut was in The Mandalorian Season 2, where she clashed with Imperial Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth in “Chapter 13: The Jedi”.
As part of the Disney100 celebration, Disney Plus will release a restored version of Walt Disney’s 1950 classic Cinderella on Friday, August 25. Directed by Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske and Clyde Geronimi, Cinderella is a timeless story and a major success for Disney. It features memorable songs such as “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” and “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes”. The voice cast includes Ilene Woods, Eleanor Audley and Verna Felton. Among other achievements, the animated film also earned three Academy Award nominations.
