Ahsoka Part 5 Will Screen in Theaters

Disney+ | Lucasfilm

The return of Anakin Skywalker, aka the Jedi destined to become Darth Vader, has prompted Lucasfilm and Disney+ to release episode five of Ahsoka in select AMC Theatres across the country on “Tano Tuesday,” which is September 12. Fans can visit Gofobo to buy tickets, or join the growing waitlists, as seats are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.

Following her doomed duel with Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson), Ahsoka regains consciouness in the World Between Worlds. It’s there that she is surprisingly reunited with her former master, Anakin. Skywalker calls Ahsoka by her nickname, “Snips,” before the Jedi says he didn’t expect to see her again so soon. That’s where Part Four: Fallen Jedi ends, and the special screenings will begin.

Christensen’s appearance on the show was all but inevitable, and then a voiceover of him speaking as Anakin in Ahsoka footage confirmed that the actor would definitely be involved in the new streaming series. Episode five is brimming with possibilities because the two old friends have so much to discuss, not the least of which is the fact that Ahsoka has met Anakin’s son, Luke Skywalker, in The Book of Boba Fett. The special theatrical screenings of Ahsoka: Part Five will hit theaters on September 12. And for those who can’t make it to one of the 10 AMC Theatre locations, fans can stream the next chapter of Ahsoka on Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT.
