Disney+ seems to be choosing a different day for the release of Star Wars: Ahsoka, the upcoming live-action TV show based on the fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano. On July 11, it was reported that the series was scheduled to release its first two episodes on Wednesday, August 23. This would mark the beginning of the exciting eight-episode journey of the Star Wars TV show, which features multiple storylines and characters from Star Wars Rebels.
So far, the critics have shared their positive reactions to the first two episodes of Ahsoka, so the series seems to be looking good so far. The official Ahsoka series page recently shared a post on Twitter, where they revealed that the series’ upcoming episodes will now release on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET instead of Wednesdays at 12:00 a.m. PT, starting on August 22, 2023.
