The next Star Wars TV show is almost upon us, with Ahsoka finally pointing the spotlight on Rosario Dawson’s live-action version of the character following her appearances in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. The show will also be a must-watch for Star Wars Rebels fans by bringing back characters like Hera, Sabine, Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn, although one can still follow along with the show without having seen that animated series. Now there’s an extra bit of good news concerning Ahsoka, as its Disney+ debut strategy is breaking with tradition in a way that has fans incredibly excited.
New episodes of Disney+ shows traditionally premiere at midnight PST/ 3 am EST on their allotted day.

This launched a wave of excitement from people glad not to have to stay up as late to see each new Ahsoka installment as soon as possible, such as @UpToTASK:
