As the weeks go by, Star Wars: Ahsoka is beginning to dominate social media and water cooler discussions just like The Mandalorian did when it first debuted.
For most of the day after the episode's release, the identity of the "person" hiding behind Marrok's mask monopolized conversation and trending topics on Twitter. And it looks like the next episode might be even crazier as Lucasfilm is now giving Episode 5 a limited theatrical run.
With Ahsoka now in the World Between Worlds and Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker set to play a prominent role in the episode, it seems Lucasfilm and Disney believe that this pivotal Star Wars moment is one that deserves to be seen on the big screen.
We don't have an episode title for the next installment but it will be written and directed by Dave Filloni, Lucasfilm's executive creative director and Ahsoka's co-creator. Filloni directed 2008's Star Wars: The Clone Wars CGI film, which served as Ahsoka's debut.
Unfortunately, it seems the showings are reserved for major cities only (NYC, LA, Seattle, etc.) in North America and they're already all sold out at the moment. But don't be surprised if more are added between now and next Tuesday.

Additionally, Empire Magazine is also holding a special screening of the episode in London at 10pm BST, which will be 4 hours before the episode is officially released on the Disney streamer. A special spoiler episode of the Empire podcast will immediately follow, thereafter.
Other international screenings will also be held in Bangkok, Thailand and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Given the hype surrounding Episode 5 and the fact that it's being screened in theaters, Star Wars fans should expect something monumental to be unveiled!
Of course, if you can't get a ticket or you live too far away, you'll still be able to enjoy the next episode in the comfort of your own home if you have a Disney+ subscription.
Ahsoka will wrap up its 8-episode run on October 3.
