Ashoka on Disney+ finds David Tennant back in the role of Huyang from The Clone Wars.
Headlined by Rosario Dawson's titular, dual-lightsabered Jedi, who first appeared in live-action across several episodes of The Mandalorian, the upcoming series put on its very own panel at this weekend's Star Wars Celebration in London.
Lucasfilm executive producer Dave Filoni confirmed Doctor Who star Tennant's return as the voice of the droid master while on stage.

Meanwhile, Filoni (who'll direct a future feature based in a galaxy far, far away) spoke to Collider about the episode lengths of Ahsoka.
"You know, I would say it's pretty relative when you do this kind of work," he began.
What to Read Next
"One thing Jon [Favreau] and I are very adamant about is we try to, you know, cut it down and strip it down, to keep it moving. My episodes have actually started pretty long. They are probably relative to the other episodes I've written and done, like the episode 'The Jedi', but it's got to be tight and fast because to make the action work, they've got to be shorter.

"But I would say they're in the same range as The Mandalorian episodes, maybe on average a little longer, but the most recent cuts are in the same range. I like a long episode as much as anyone, as long as it's moving."
The countdown is on.
Ahsoka premieres this August on Disney+. The Mandalorian season 3 is streaming on the same platform, with new episodes on Wednesdays. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the entire Skywalker Saga are available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K now, as well as on Disney+.
