Ahsoka: Disney's next Star Wars show gets an official release date

Strap in Star Wars fans – Disney’s next big show set in a galaxy far, far away now has an official premiere date. Star Wars: Ahsoka will air on Disney Plus from August 23, 2023, bringing The Clone Wars alumni back to our screens in her very own dedicated TV show.

The release date might not be a huge surprise for fans who’ve been keeping up to date with news of the show's progress. Back in February of this year, leading actor Rosario Dawson spilled some information about the series coming in late 2023, and then Star Wars Celebration announcements in April confirmed that it’d be making its Disney Plus debut in the month of August.

We’ve seen Dawson’s take on Tortuga Jedi Ahsoka Tano previously, having made appearances in both The Mandalorian and in The Book of Boba Fett, but this time Dawson will be leading her own series. We can expect to see some other popular characters pop in, including one intimidating Grand Admiral Thrawn with Lars Mikkelsen reprising his role from the animated series Star Wars: Rebels.

Alongside Dawson and Mikkelsen, there’s a strong cast of characters, some of whom you’re likely to be familiar with if you’ve been keeping up to date with the franchise. Ahsoka will also star Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant as Huyang, Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, and the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll.

Behind the scenes, Dave Filoni will both write and act as executive producer on the series, along with Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson and Carrie Beck. If you want all the ins and outs of Ahsoka, we’ve got a full rundown of all we currently know about the upcoming Star Wars show.

Where does Ahsoka fit in the timeline?

Since there's a huge amount of Star Wars media, it can be easy to get lost with the timeline. Thankfully, this next instalment in the massive franchise is pretty easy to place, though we have a full guide on how to watch the Star Wars movies in order to help keep track of the overall chronology.

In brief, Star Wars: Ahsoka is likely to take place sometime after the character’s appearance in episode six of The Book of Boba Fett, but we likely won't know the exact chronology until its premiere on August 23.

If you’re keen to catch this next Star Wars series as it airs, you’re gonna need to have a Disney Plus subscription. Pricing starts at $7.99 (with ads) or $10.99 / £7.99 / AU$13.99 per month, or $109.99 / £79.90 / AU$139.99 a year for a standard subscription in the US, UK and Australia.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Quantum computers are fast becoming cheaper and smaller — and they could be coming to a data center near you very soon

IonQ claims we’re closer to widespread enterprise quantum computing deployment as it lifted the lid on two rack-mounted models that can be deployed on-premises.   The startup has built the fourth-generation #AQ35 IonQ Forte Enterprise and fifth-generation #AQ64 IonQ Tempo, both of which are designed to be deployed in enterprise and government data centers. It’s also said it is deploying two quantum computers to the US Air Force.  While revealing these two models, IonQ co-founder and CTO Jungsang Kim said quantum computers are already in use by enterprises to churn through machine learning workloads. This, he added, suggests we’re much closer to readily available and affordable machines. Priming enterprises for a quantum future “We believe in the enterprise-grade quantum computing, which is where it can be something of value for enterprises, can happen in the next few years as we build powerful enough quantum computers that can actually do things that classical computers w...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
