The Hollywood Reporter reveals that filmmaker Peter Ramsey is going from the Spider-Verse to a Galaxy Far, Far Away for Disney+'s upcoming Ahsoka TV series. The first Black director to win the "Best Animated Feature" Oscar after co-helming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Ramsey will take charge of at least one episode of the show.
Shooting begins in Los Angeles later this month, so we should get more news on this one soon. Star Wars Celebration would certainly be a good place to reveal the full list of directors and an episode count, but that's information that often doesn't come our way until these shows are streaming!
The series will see Rosario Dawson return as Ahsoka Tano after appearing in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, while Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ivanna Sakhno, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Ray Stevenson, and Hayden Christensen are all also set to appear in the highly anticipated project.
Very little is known about Lucasfilm's Ahsoka plans, though it is expected to serve as a sequel to the events of Star Wars Rebels (hence why Dave Filoni has written the show). That means we should learn more about what became of Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn after that huge cliffhanger.
Ramsey went from making his name as a storyboard artist on the likes of Fight Club and Men in Black to working in animation with critically acclaimed movies Rise of the Guardians and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. He's since set up a number of live-action projects, but this is by far the biggest.
