The issue of supporting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer+ (LGBTQ+) community has been an ongoing issue for the longest time in Malaysia and many parts of the world.
As Malaysia is known as a Muslim country, the practices of such are not acceptable in the religion and many leaders, more specifically from one particular political party have not been silent about the issue.
Previously, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) made a lot of noise on social media about concerts in Malaysia and more specifically the recent announcement of Coldplay performing in Malaysia as they have publicly stood by their LGBTQ+ fans.

Swatch Gets Raided By Home Ministry
Recently, Swiss watchmaker Swatch was raided by the Home Ministry over an issue of the company selling their Pride Collection timepieces.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5b619f52791dc54ab93136ccc712706e30dc4eabb9c0f679c9e4740190fe5a70" />
The news first broke out when a Facebook user had thrown their Swatch after finding out that the company was selling the Pride Collection watches at retail stores here in Malaysia. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to wait for Coldplay. Whoever is wearing Swatch watches, throw them away right now,&rdquo; wrote the user.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffdaus.ahmad%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02LdLpcs241SQ88MrFf7J2sYaawJgPNMWBndrEfug65Su4oCRWRYSPzU55UJhBhehRl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="670" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
As the post had got viral on Facebook with 1.2K reactions and 92 Shares on the platform, the Ministry of Home Affairs sent out authorities to raid a total of 11 Swatch Stores across Malaysia. In a report by The Edge, raid operations were conducted at outlets such as Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Sunway Pyramid, Setia City Mall, Mid Valley Megamall, Sunway Putra Mall, Sogo Kuala Lumpur, Fahrenheit 88, Johor Baru&rsquo;s Mid Valley Sotuhkey, Penang&rsquo;s Queenbay Mall and Suria Sabah.
As for their five outlets at the Kuala Terengganu City Centre Mall, Aeon Kota Baru, Kedah&rsquo;s Aman Central Mall, Johor Bahru City Square, and Kuching&rsquo;s Vivacity Megamall, they had received warning letters instead.

For the outlets that were raided between 13 &ndash; 14 May, the officers noted that a total of 22 watches have been confiscated as they carried LGBTQ+ symbols. The notice that was handed to the stores also stated that the Pride Collection had violated the Printing Presses and Publications Act of 1984 where brands that sell items that are considered harmful or likely to be harmful to morals may face legal consequences.
Swatch&rsquo;s CEO Speaks About The Aftermath Of The Raid
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/67410de4689b1750a59dde5675a3106d0f76bae075574e0e0e6d291f61ad88a8" />
&rdquo;Since the creation of the brand, Swatch is proud and known to be the canvas on the wrist for all people worldwide, and for the many artists that are working with us. Creativity and colours paired with our Swiss-made quality watches are what we are loved for,&rdquo; said Nick Hayek.
&ldquo;We strongly contest that our collection of watches that uses rainbow colours and carry a message of peace and love could be harmful to whomever. On the contrary, Swatch always gives a positive message of joy in life.&rdquo;
He further emphasized that Swatch's Pride Collection watches do not carry any political message, humorously remarking, "This is completely apolitical. It makes us ponder how the Enforcement and Control Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs would manage to confiscate the countless breath-taking natural rainbows that grace the Malaysian sky on numerous occasions throughout the year."
As of now, Swatch is appealing for their watches to be returned but there have been no updates on the matter at the time of writing this.
Hopefully, we&rsquo;ll get an update on this issue soon enough and Swatch will be able to receive their seized watches.

Swatch Stores Nationwide Raided By Home Ministry Over LGBTQ+ Watches 

Have you ever been interested in gaming but you could never do so cause you&rsquo;re using an Apple device?
The Mac has always been an amazing device, especially now that it has the current version of it comes with its new M2 Max chip which has 12-CPU Cores and 30-GPU cores. But despite all that power, the downside of Apple devices is that they can never run games smoothly or even run any game at all.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/lnHy5A_HnVMAAAAC/pc-master-race-gaming.gif" /> People with a custom gaming rig or windows pc be like...
But it looks like things will be changing in the Apple scene thanks to the latest announcement at this year&rsquo;s WWDC.
Apple To Finally Take Gaming Seriously
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5861a13c2c627edee42b7db4be6b0f48363c7a6ddad0beb44699abcc29d7f0cc" />
This year, we saw some pretty impressive announcements coming from the event with Apple&rsquo;s RM16,000 Vision Pro stealing the spotlight.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2533/apple-introduces-their-rm16000-vision-pro-vr-headset">Apple Introduces Their RM16,000 Vision Pro VR Headset!</a>
Aside from that, many were eyeing the new 15-inch MacBook Air and the latest M2 processor. But among the announcements, the one that stood out from the crowd was when Apple announced a new Gaming Porting Toolkit that could hopefully be able to port Windows games over to Mac easier and quicker.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b519174365113d0172ca9569eae039db6e9c10377074b53f3ab361a12b045ccf" />
The new Gaming Porting Toolkit is similar to what Valve has done with Proton and the Steam Deck. The toolkit will be powered by source code from Crossover which is a wine-based solution for running Windows games on macOS.
&ldquo;The new Game Porting Toolkit provides an emulation environment to run your existing unmodified Windows game and you can use it to quickly understand the graphics feature usage and performance potential of your game when running on a Mac,&rdquo; said the engineering project manager for GPUs and graphics Aiswariya Sreenivassan.
Pretty Impressive Tool For The Future Of Gaming On Mac OS
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/6cf8eeb54bc9933cfdfabc5960953350c35d65efb7bb7520f5c900e04f1919ff" />
If you thought porting over Windows games to a Mac was impressive, what&rsquo;s more impressive is the fact that the toolkit will support DirectX 12 games as it supports their Direct X12 API. The toolkit aims to transform the Windows API calls into its proprietary Metal API while also adapting the x86 instructions for compatibility with Apple Silicon.
Additionally, it will handle the translation of essential APIs for input control, audio, and other functions specific to MacOS. This development presents an opportunity to assess the gaming capabilities of Apple's GPU and evaluate its performance. While Apple frequently touts impressive performance metrics, the lack of supported titles has made it challenging to gauge its standing compared to conventional PC hardware.
Addressing Smoothness Issues
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/21c67ba6756d56de797ffe3c811ceeff489071f9e08faca7bee68b6264ebffb6" />
Now, with something revolutionary comes a set of issues and one of those being how games will run in this environment. One of the biggest concerns that will arise would be optimization as there are bound to be bugs and issues as each developer will need to come up with their own ports.&nbsp;
So far, Reddit users have already managed to try their hands at porting games over as one user had managed to run Cyberpunk 2077 on a M1 MacBook Pro at 15fps. Sounds like the time the game came out and even had Windows stability issues hahaha.
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height: 500px;" data-embed-height="500"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/142vjdz/i_got_cyberpunk_2077_running_on_an_m1_macbook/">I got Cyberpunk 2077 running on an M1 MacBook!</a> by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/isaa6">u/isaa6</a> in <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/">macgaming</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

Another user meanwhile got Harry Potter&rsquo;s Hogwarts Legacy to run with an M2 Max MacBook at a stable 30-40+ FPS.

Porting Windows games to Mac has historically been a challenging process for developers, involving recompiling source code, converting shaders, re-implementing graphics subsystems, and adapting audio, input, and HDR rendering. However, Apple now offers tools that simplify this process. Developers can assess the required porting work and optimize their games on macOS using Apple's tool, along with the Metal Shader Converter that automatically converts GPU shaders to Metal. These tools greatly reduce the time and effort needed to successfully port games from Windows to Mac.
If Apple keeps this up, we can soon bridge the gap between Windows and Mac users who love gaming. Yeah, the dream is distant but with what was shown this week, that dream can potentially be a reality.
Pro-tip, if the dream does become reality, it's best for Mac users to pair their MacBooks to an external monitor with a higher refresh rate. Though the M1 and M2 Macbook Pro do come with ProMotion adaptive refresh rate that hits 120hz, it would still be a safer idea for you to run games on the external monitor to prevent screen tearing. 
<img src="https://static.c.realme.com/IN/thread/1344562635646959616.gif" /> Here&rsquo;s an example of low vs high refresh rate monitors.

But do expect some stability issues as it’s still being refined.

Enchanteur & Dashing University Tour! It’s Time To Stay Wangi, Stay Ranggi

Looks like controversial comedian Jocelyn Chia is back online as she&rsquo;s gained access to her Instagram account again.
Yesterday, we stated that her social media pages have been blacked out as it was rumoured that she had been banned from them. While she wasn&rsquo;t online, many including Harith Iskander and the wife of one of the victims on board have voiced out their opinions about her comedic act of insulting the MH370 tragedy. Even the Singapore High Commissioner To Malaysia issued an apology on social media due to her insensitive joke.

Dismisses Suspension For Being &ldquo;Cancelled&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f120fa5aceca3a52d46b31530016c5a48a4fa6b794f2628f6d0e83bc612cc005" />
The first thing Chia did when she got her account back was to post up an Instagram story as she addressed the rumours of her account being blacked out. &ldquo;Rumour had it that I either deleted my Instagram or that I got &lsquo;cancelled&rsquo; by Instagram. My account actually got suspended for &lsquo;impersonating&rsquo; a celebrity.&rdquo;
&ldquo;I was like, &lsquo;who is the celebrity? Answer: Jocelyn Chia,&rdquo; while adding Famous by Kanye West for her story audio of choice (another cancelled celebrity).
Thanks The Community For Their Support Towards Her
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/539b8c3cf4e719f4fbe99f5d4600949e0a8e0c948a8ba1bdeacffea49ce7d3eb" />
Aside from addressing the rumours on her social media, Chia also took the opportunity to thank the comedy community who supported her despite the backlash she was facing. One of them was Malaysian comedian Jason Leong who was also bashed by other Malaysians after he showed support for her act.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fde499788bde41a71eea8de779e018f46e0de7de102d2a9b44641b045fd7c6db" />
Following the story, she took a hit at her &ldquo;exes&rdquo; which many presume to be angry Malaysians and joked by using Taylor Swift&rsquo;s &lsquo;We Are Never Getting Back Together&rsquo; as her song choice. To put an end to her post, she also thanked the non-binary comedians and joked that she would &ldquo;really get cancelled&rdquo; if she hasn&rsquo;t done so.
No Public Apology In Sight
After all the hate posts of her online, Chia has yet to post a public apology as the former Singaporean does not look like she has any remorse. Since then, Singapore&rsquo;s Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan has also issued an apology after replying to Syed Saddiq on Twitter.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I am appalled by her horrendous statements. She certainly does not speak for Singaporeans. We treasure our ties with family and friends in Malaysia, and are sorry for the offence and hurt caused to all Malaysians.
&mdash; Vivian Balakrishnan (@VivianBala) <a href="https://twitter.com/VivianBala/status/1666487826022817792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A reminder to everyone that there&rsquo;s always a limit when it comes to jokes and we should respect all the boundaries set so we wouldn&rsquo;t offend anyone and a whole country who went through a disaster. 
Do you think that society will start cancelling out Chia or maybe karma will bite her back soon enough? Let us know in the comments.

Rather than her apologising, officials from Singapore had to do so instead.

Jocelyn Chia Is Back On IG, Denies Being “Cancelled” And Has Yet To Apologise For Her Joke

Having a family go missing is one of the most concerning things anyone could ever face. But the worse part of it all is knowing that they are still alive but forced to work as piglets (someone of low financial and social status into indentured servitude).
Recently, 22-year-old beautician Angie Chong Sum Yee went on a trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand alone and had since gone missing.

The last time her family had heard from her was on 1 June when she sent photos of her travelling towards the northernmost district Mae Sai in the Chang Rai province which has a history of human trafficking cases in the past.
After her mother had put up a post on Facebook to get assistance from the public, the Malaysian embassy in Thailand has been working closely with authorities to locate her. She was last seen leaving a location on a motorcycle with a woman dressed in white.

Video Of Angie Suddenly Appears On Facebook
In the days she was missing, her WeChat status had been updated stating she is safe and her location had also changed. This time, three suspicious videos of her were uploaded on Facebook by a new Facebook account that went by the name &ldquo;Moe Aye&rdquo;.
Now, here&rsquo;s the suspicious part, of the three videos uploaded, two of them were taken by a camera that filmed a phone playing a video of Angie.
As the videos are being reposted and shared everywhere, many netizens pointed out that Angie looks rather unnatural in the video as if she was forced to film it.
<video style="width: 650px; height: 325px;" controls="controls" width="650" height="325">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/6f7804c3cee4de24a6a97ff974a2a7b875c17200768c8c7f332256b373c864d6" /></video>
In the 34-second video, she said: &ldquo;Hello, hello. Actually, I am fine. I am very safe and healthy. I didn&rsquo;t get assaulted. So, my friends, family, and netizen, those who I don&rsquo;t know, please don&rsquo;t worry about me. I am very healthy.&rdquo;
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100091509889399%2Fvideos%2F593627862577111%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=214&amp;t=0" width="214" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In another 22-second video, it's seen that she was working at an undisclosed location.
&ldquo;I am working here now and I am safe. Please don&rsquo;t worry about me. I am extremely safe here. So police, please don&rsquo;t trouble the rider who gave me a ride. They don&rsquo;t know anything.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0eeed938e706b5c2a01590ffb89d006c6a796b9e2562fbd7e4c39377899e2b83" />
What was even more suspicious was that Angie&rsquo;s Instagram account has also posted &ldquo;updates&rdquo; stating that she is okay and has contacted her family. She also stated that all the videos seen on Facebook and websites about her were real.
No Rest Till She&rsquo;s Back Safely
Despite all the circulating videos, Angie&rsquo;s mother Chee Choy Wen said on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/choywon0914/posts/pfbid0uQ9uwTWiLwGgvGwHUZ3AcfhcbnvXnG15iUMJMSKf7rXSXD1hdX2TqwLjFsvMahBCl">Facebook</a> that she will get to the bottom of this and told the members of the public not to trust the videos posted online as she has not seen her in person nor heard from her yet.
Hopefully, authorities will be able to track her down soon enough. A reminder that human trafficking is not a joke and despite all efforts, it&rsquo;s still difficult for authorities to locate the hundreds if not thousands of others who have also gone missing over the years.
If you&rsquo;re looking for a job, do seek caution when enquiring online especially if its offer is too good to be true.

Missing Malaysian Woman In Thailand Breaks Silence Online Stating She’s “Safe” 

In Malaysia, amidst the various aspects of healthcare available, there is one crucial aspect that often goes overlooked by many Malaysians: Dental Care.
Dental care encompasses oral hygiene practices that involve taking care of our teeth. Neglecting proper dental care can lead to a multitude of issues, including cavities, gum diseases, and the universally undesirable problem of bad breath.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/Iue51AfpKx0AAAAM/bad-breath.gif" />
Unfortunately, dental care is rather expensive in Malaysia as sometimes a typical cavity filling costs between RM100-RM150 and scaling between RM150-RM200. Perhaps this is the reason why many Malaysians don&rsquo;t take their dental care seriously, but what if we told you that you can actually get it for cheap?
Scaling For Only RM3!
No, you&rsquo;re not reading this wrongly as dental care can actually be very affordable in Malaysia! Recently, Twitter user Alena <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666273906184056833">@alenawhz</a> shared that dental care in Malaysia is in fact reasonable as she scheduled a dental appointment for a total of RM3. All you need to do is to make an appointment via the MySejahtera app!
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Scaling for RM3: Here's how I got it done in 30 minutes using the MySejahtera app! <a href="https://twitter.com/KKMPutrajaya?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KKMPutrajaya</a> This is a 🧵✨ <a href="https://t.co/lrfgo0K1vb">pic.twitter.com/lrfgo0K1vb</a>
&mdash; Alena (@alenawhz) <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666273906184056833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Before we get into how you can do this, a reminder that the MySejahtera App is now an app used by the Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia as a universal healthcare app where Malaysians can track their health records from health reports, lab test reports and even vaccinations.&nbsp;
How To Make A Booking?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7f3bee0fc7adbce7612ff72bfebafa18245e48e9ab538336ad8f6627b0d25acf" />
When you open up MySejahtera, you&rsquo;ll see a set of options and you can make an appointment by tapping the appointment icon. From there, scroll down and tap on the dental check-up. Following that, you&rsquo;ll need to input your postcode and the app will list the available appointments and the nearest dates.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Once you've gotten your appointment, make sure to arrive 30 minutes before your appt time! I got to mine at 9.00am sharp. I headed to the counter to check in (using MySejahtera), got my queue number, paid RM1, got my BP checked and waited for my turn. <a href="https://t.co/vubqseLmvA">pic.twitter.com/vubqseLmvA</a>
&mdash; Alena (@alenawhz) <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666273949678981120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If you&rsquo;re looking to get a specific time slot, Alena says that the best time to book appointments is at 12am or early morning as it seems that they refresh their appointment times during those hours. After securing your appointment, it&rsquo;s also best for you to show up 30 minutes earlier as you&rsquo;ll be prompted to check in using MySejahtera, obtain your queue number and get your blood pressure checked for only RM1.
After about 15 minutes, Alena was called to meet the dentist. She had a talk with her doctor addressing her concerns and stating which treatment she would like to get. She opted to have a general check-up and scaling. The highlight of the treatment was that it was all done within 10 minutes and she was in and out of the clinic within 30 minutes.
One thing she noted is that the doctor said she was lucky as there weren&rsquo;t a lot of patients that morning and the waiting and treatment time could have taken longer if there were a lot of people at the clinic that day.
Netizens Amazed At MySejahtera&rsquo;s Service
As the tweet gained over 8.2K Retweets and 8.9K likes on Twitter, many netizens had thanked Alena for sharing her experience and it looks like many netizens have also wanted to get their appointment booked for their check-up.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Thanks Alena. Last time i went to KK they said no more appointments.. can walk in only. But those who working a bit difficult to go without appointments so this the best solution 👍

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
In my understanding, you can get braces done if the dentist at klinik pergigian deems that you need it. There might be a long queue up to years! But it's always a fraction of the price when compared to private clinics
&mdash; Alena (@alenawhz) <a href="https://twitter.com/alenawhz/status/1666360498101837824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 7, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Hiiii! It was my first time as well and honestly, it was not that painful. When at the gum area, it was more annoying but when it reached several teeth that are sensitive, it hurts quite a bit. But overall, it's not toooo bad for me!

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Some netizens commented that most clinics do not update the schedule and some clinics will prompt you to physically walk in for an appointment. Others also commented that if you can&rsquo;t find an appointment after imputing a postcode, you can also try searching by city name or state.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Apparently tak semua klinik updated. 😔

Depends on location. I did mine in UTC Pudu. Took me 2 hours 🥲

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Kalau tak jumpa pakai post code, boleh search by city names or states then pilih lah yang terdekat. Sebab kalau pakai post code kadang2 tak keluar 😅

Now that&rsquo;s pretty efficient and cost-effective! Despite what people say about our government, you have to give it to them for doing their best to provide affordable dental care to the public. 
PSA, before proceeding to go for any dental care, do remember that there have been issues of fake dentists who offer cheap and potentially harmful dental services.

Dental Care Too Expensive? Get Your Teeth Scaled For Only RM3 Via MySejahtera!

For those who love binge-watching a series, you may know that lately, Disney+ has been on a roll as they have been releasing many different Star Wars series and, in all honesty, they have been way better than the movies they produced, more specifically Episode 7 till 9 of the Skywalker Saga.
This time around, Disney+ has set a primer date for the highly anticipated series, Star Wars Ahsoka as it will be releasing this August 23.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J7-zia4oHuk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The upcoming series serves as a spin-off from The Mandalorian series. If you&rsquo;re new to the Star Wars franchise, the show takes place along the same timeline as The Mandalorian and as a pseudo-sequel to Star Wars: Rebels. Unlike the many characters we&rsquo;ve seen in the previous Star Wars series, Ahsoka is a character that goes way back to the prequels as she first appeared in Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon before her story was continued in Star Wars: Rebels.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9ce34b4a8c32342632ebf836eaead359c2852a96c90cd5c01123bfa6ce0fc80a" /> Ahsoka during Clone Wars
Her character was one of the most talked about characters out there as in previous iterations of the shows, we only saw an animated version of her until she appeared in Season 2 of The Mandalorian and the first season of The Book of Boba Fett.
Who Are The New Characters?
Now, since Ahsoka isn&rsquo;t a character like Din Djarin or Boba Fett who&rsquo;s covered in armour almost the majority of the time, she&rsquo;s one of the more unique characters in the franchise. In fact, Ahsoka will feature many characters who will be appearing in the live-action for the first time.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aacd6d2f42ecc93818cd4f89e0716bd4d9cb02a68bcc59494e0d8c623e747cf8" /> (From Left:) Rosario Dawson, Natasha Lui Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Eman Esfandi
Ahsoka Tano will be played by Rosario Dawson who started in Marvel&rsquo;s Daredevil (2015-2017). Aside form that, the series will also be featuring stars such as Natashia Lui Bordizzo who plays Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger.&nbsp;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ce16875543040c021193e0fc8338d17482076c10fe509d8f33316f0bdb6f44af" />
This time around, we&rsquo;ll also be seeing the debut of the franchise&rsquo;s notorious villain Grand Admiral Thrawn who is played by Lars Mikkelsen.
Do You Need To Watch Other Series To Understand Ahsoka?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ed29a5e2dc7b445090334d484ce13baa9deb597b542dc87b26578f57391ef6a" />
Back during the Star Wars Celebration, executive producers Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau talked a bit about the series. Fans wondered if they needed to watch The Mandalorian Season 3 before heading into Ahsoka but Filoni revealed that fans can watch and enjoy them on their own. In fact, fans wouldn&rsquo;t even need to turn back to the old Clone Wars cartoon to understand her character.
Since the latest trailer only revealed the release date, you can check out their longer trailer which was released 2 months ago alongside more extras that we can expect this August 23.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HnzNZ0Mdx4I" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Is The Arrival Of The Series Bad For Other Disney+ Series?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5c7c569f6f4ef60b49093c83ab63b466649c1b74a63fae2340c6caeb646d8860" />
For those who may not know, Disney typically releases an episode every Wednesday on their platform as seen from other Star Wars series in the past. As the first episode is set to air on August 23, we will see a clash in the premier of another series.
Aksoka is set to have 8 episodes and the penultimate episode of Season 1 is set to arrive on 4 October, two days before the premiere of Loki Season 2 and the finale will be airing between the first and second episodes of Loki on October 11.
Though this does not mean much to some who just enjoy watching a good series as they unwind from their busy day, this could be an issue for some as there&rsquo;s a gap between the end of the Marvel series Secret Invasion (premiering in June) and the premier of Ahsoka.
We all know the pain of juggling different shows at once&hellip;
But despite the clash in episode releases, we are sure fans wouldn&rsquo;t mind binging extra shows in between and that Ahsoka will certainly be fun to watch. Hopefully, it can give us the experience that Andor gave us if not better.

While fans are excited, the series may also overlap with Loki Season 2.
