Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company announced that the first episode of their new series, “Ahsoka,” has become the most-watched title on Disney+ this past week, raking in 14 million views globally. Titled “Master and Apprentice,” the episode has catapulted the series to the number one spot on the streaming platform worldwide.
“Ahsoka has become a fan favourite with people of all ages and it’s wonderful to see her continue to resonate with viewers in her very own headlining series,” said Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm in a statement to iPhone in Canada. She also acknowledged the contributions of the creative team, led by Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, as well as the cast, led by Rosario Dawson.
“Ahsoka” releases new episodes every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET, exclusively on Disney+. The series follows the adventures of Ahsoka Tano, a character that has been part of the Star Wars universe across various media, including animated series and a live-action appearance in “The Mandalorian.”
According to the company’s metrics, a view is defined as total stream time divided by runtime available. Lucasfilm thanked fans who have followed Ahsoka’s journey thus far and welcomed those who are discovering her through the new series. How are you liking Ahsoka so far?

I really liked the first 2 episodes, not saying it was perfect, but it did feel like it was in the Star Wars Universe, much like Andor. I hope they will continue along that path. For the record, I really dislike Disney’s stance on things and absolutely hated The Last Jedi (apart from the visuals and sound effects, which were exquisite). I liked the characters Finn and Rey in Force Awakens, but it’s all downhill from there.
I’ve found the live action TV shows to be a lot better in general than the recent movies. Filoni and Favreau actually have a head on their shoulders and seem to be true SW fans who have respect for the content. As compared to wannabe edge lord Cryin’ Rian 🤮
“wannabe edge lord” lol. Perfect description!
Totally agree, but even Finn was mishandled in so many ways – e.g. shouting “yahoo!” with glee every time he shot down a fellow stormtrooper. No apprehension for potentially mowing down his fellow collegues. No mixed feelings at all! Why even make him a Stormtrooper if they just ignore the fact for the whole movie series.
