Ahsoka, also known as Star Wars: Ahsoka, is an American space fantasy television series created by Dave Filoni for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and a spin-off from The Mandalorian (2019–2023), taking place in the same timeframe as that series and its other interconnected spin-offs after the events of the film Return of the Jedi (1983). Ahsoka follows former Jedi apprentice Ahsoka Tano and her allies as they defend the fledgling New Republic against remnants of the Galactic Empire.

Rosario Dawson stars as the title character, reprising her role from The Mandalorian. Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ray Stevenson, Ivanna Sakhno, Diana Lee Inosanto, David Tennant, Eman Esfandi, Evan Whitten, Genevieve O'Reilly, Hayden Christensen, Ariana Greenblatt, Lars Mikkelsen, and Anthony Daniels also star. Ahsoka Tano was co-created by Filoni for the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2020). Dawson was cast to bring her into live-action for the second season of The Mandalorian, and a spin-off series starring Dawson was announced by Lucasfilm in December 2020 with Filoni as showrunner. It serves as a continuation of the animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018). In addition to Filoni, Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson returned from The Mandalorian as executive producers and were joined by Carrie Beck.

Ahsoka premiered on August 22, 2023, with the first two episodes of the first season. The other six episodes were released through October 3. The season received high viewership, generally positive reviews from critics, and several accolades including a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Award. A second season was confirmed in January 2024.

After the fall of the Galactic Empire in the film Return of the Jedi (1983), former Jedi apprentice Ahsoka Tano joins with her own former apprentice, Sabine Wren, and other characters from the animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018) to prevent Grand Admiral Thrawn—who is stranded in another galaxy—from returning and uniting the remnants of the Empire against the fledgling New Republic. The first season ends with Thrawn returning from the other galaxy, leaving Ahsoka and Sabine stranded there. In the second season, Ahsoka and Sabine go on a journey related to the mysterious Mortis gods and confront the fallen Jedi Baylan Skoll while Thrawn leads the Empire against the New Republic.

The second season was confirmed in January 2024. It consists of eight episodes, all written by Dave Filoni. Bryce Dallas Howard directed two episodes of the season.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said in February 2020 that spin-offs of the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian (2019–2023) were being considered, and there was potential to add characters to the series to then give them their own series. A month later, Rosario Dawson was cast as Ahsoka Tano for the second season of The Mandalorian, appearing in "Chapter 13: The Jedi" which was written and directed by executive producer Dave Filoni. Filoni co-created Ahsoka with Star Wars creator George Lucas for the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2020), and later included her in his follow-up animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018).

In December 2020, Lucasfilm announced several spin-off series from The Mandalorian including The Book of Boba Fett (2021) and Ahsoka, also known as Star Wars: Ahsoka. The new series were set in the same trimeframe as The Mandalorian—during the 30 years between the films Return of the Jedi (1983) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)—and were planned to culminate in a "climactic story event". Filoni indicated that this would involve a conflict with the remnants of the Galactic Empire which Ahsoka helps build towards. The series were being concurrently developed by The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau and Filoni, with Filoni creating, writing, and serving as lead producer and showrunner on Ahsoka. Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy, Carrie Beck, and Colin Wilson were also set as executive producers on the series.

Ahsoka was initially reported to be a miniseries, but Disney was not listing it as such by February 2023. That April, when the series was revealed to have eight episodes, Filoni was announced to be making a film that would serve as a culmination of the interconnected stories of The Mandalorian and its spin-offs. In November, Filoni revealed that he was now chief creative officer at Lucasfilm and would be directly involved in the planning of future films and series. He was considering a second season of the series at that point, and Lucasfilm officially announced that Filoni was developing the season in January 2024, to be made before his planned film.
