Rosario Dawson stars as former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano in the latest live-action series in the 'Star Wars' saga premiering on Disney+ on Tuesday, Aug. 22 at 9 p.m.
set in the galaxy far, far away, is for you! Everybody else might feel like they’ve been invited to a party where the only person they know is the host, who they’ve only met briefly once or twice.For them, “Ahsoka” is as tedious and uninteresting as such a party. But I’m not ready to give up after just two episodes. “Andor” got off to a slow start, too.
The opening crawl -- a first for a “Star Wars” live-action series -- sets the story in motion. Following the events of “Return of the Jedi,” what’s left of the evil Galactic Empire means to reinstall Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn into power and ignite another war. The brilliant and ruthless military tactician was lost to the deep reaches of space at the end of “Rebels,” but Ahsoka has learned of a map that holds the key to finding him.

Even then, you might find “Ahsoka” suffering from the same flaws that have followed creator Dave Filoni’s work throughout his “Star Wars” career.
Potential and the presence of multiple strong female leads, however, don’t automatically make for appointment television. And neither will prevent you from constantly checking your watch or questioning what exactly the point of this entire endeavor is during the dull stretches between the action sequences. Even the most ardent “Rebels” fans will admit the “Ahsoka” two-part premiere is an exercise in patience.
