The runtime of Ahsoka Episode 6 has reportedly made its way online.
Per X account DiamondFire, the next chapter in the Disney+ Star Wars series will run for 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This would make it the third longest episode to date, beaten only by the first installment, which clocked in at 54 minutes and the second episode which sported a runtime of 49 minutes and 50 seconds. It’s also significantly longer than Episode 3, which only ran for 34 minutes much to the disappointment of some fans. It’s worth noting that neither Lucasfilm nor Disney have verified the claims so a grain of salt is recommended.
Serving as a continuation of the story of Star Wars Rebels, the hit animated series that followed a group of ragtag rebels working to bring down The Empire, Ahsoka has earned plenty of praise from Star Wars fans. Many have lauded creator Dave Filoni for bringing many beloved characters into live-action, including Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren, while also restoring the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn into the mainline Star Wars canon. The show stars Rosario Dawson as the titular hero, furthering a role she first played in The Mandalorian Season 2 and The Book of Boba Fett.
Rosario Dawson Is Ahsoka
For her part, Dawson has openly expressed her love for Ahsoka, noting that while the intense fight sequences pushed her to her physical limits, she also found it very easy to connect with her character. “That push for more, that desire for more, that challenge that she pushes herself to is okay — and it’s actually remarkable and important,” she said. “That’s one of the reasons I’ve been drawn to her over the years, the fact that even with her excellence, she continues to push further.”
Dawson even went so far as to connect Ahsoka to one of the most iconic fantasy characters of all time: Gandalf. “In the animation, you saw her go to the white, but what I loved is the idea that there was even another level to her,” the actor said. “Dave and I talked a lot about Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White — talking about that transition and how she’s someone very capable and excellent and looked up to as a leader, but she still has levels of development to go.”
Ahsoka is now streaming on Disney+ with new episodes arriving every Wednesday.
