Star Wars: Ahsoka
Adding to the list of Disney announcements made by the streaming service is the newest member of the club that is reserved for Disney Plus Star Wars shows, titled Ahsoka. Ahsoka is going to be based on the popular character of Ahsoka Tano (Played by Rosario Dawson in the live-action Star Wars spin-off series, The Mandalorian).
