A new set of Star Wars Corkcicle tumblers are available at Walt Disney World for May the 4th celebrations. Guests can grab these “Ahsoka” themed tumblers from Corkcicle at Disney Springs.
Corkcicle Star Wars “Ahsoka” Sport Canteen — $47.95
Located at The Landing in Disney Springs is the first-ever Corkcicle retail location. Corkcicle is a local brand founded and headquartered in Orlando, Florida that has gained enormous popularity. In honor of Star Wars Day, Corkcicle has release two new tumblers themed after the “Ahsoka” spin-off series coming to Disney+ in August 2023.
This tumbler’s design honors Ahsoka Tano, a character that originated in the animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” in 2008. Rosario Dawson plays the live-action version of the character, who we first see in “The Mandalorian” season 2.
This sport canteen holds 20 oz of liquid and boasts the ability to keep cold drinks cold for 25 hours, and hot drinks hot for 12 hours.
The bottom of the canteen features the Corkcicle logo in vertical white script.
The cap of this canteen has a straw built in, and the bottom features a “stay put” grip to prevent spilling.
Corkcicle Star Wars “Ahsoka” Tumbler — $37.95
This smaller tumbler holds 16 oz of liquid. It claims to keep cold drinks cold for 9 hours and hot drinks hot for 3 hours.
The tumbler is topped with a sliding, shatter-proof clear lid.
The tumbler also features a “stay put” bottom.
May the 4th
May 4 is considered Star Wars Day because “May the 4th” sounds like “May the Force (be with you).” It’s celebrated annually by “Star Wars” fans and now Disney and Lucasfilm. At Disney Parks, a collection of May the 4th merchandise is released each year.
This year’s May the 4th collection was already released on shopDisney, although more items may be available at the parks. A new limited edition Cal Kestis lightsaber hilt and a Dok-Ondar action figure will be available on shopDisney, too.
New Legacy Lightsaber hilts will arrive at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge throughout the month of May.

Ahsoka
“Ahsoka” stars Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano. Ashley Eckstein originated the voice role in the animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” in 2008. Eckstein also voiced Ahsoka in “Star Wars Rebels” and, most recently, in “Tales of the Jedi.” Dawson took over the live-action version of the character in “The Mandalorian” season 2. She reprised the role in “The Book of Boba Fett.”
“Ahsoka” will act as a spin-off from “The Mandalorian,” but also follow up on the cliffhanger of “Star Wars Rebels.” At the end of “Rebels,” main character Ezra Bridger sacrificed himself to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn by jumping into hyperspace with the purrgil (space whales). His friends Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano then vowed to find him and departed together at the end of the series.
In “The Mandalorian,” Ahsoka was seen searching for Thrawn on her own. “Ahsoka” will pick up on her and Sabine’s search for Ezra, who was originally voiced by Taylor Gray and will be portrayed in live-action by Eman Esfandi.
The first “Ahsoka” trailer was recently released at Star Wars Celebration, giving the first good look at Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Hera Syndulla and Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s Sabine Wren, both characters who originally appeared in the animated “Star Wars Rebels.”
Sabine was originally voiced by Tiya Sircar in “Star Wars Rebels” and “Forces of Destiny.” Hera was voiced by Vanessa Marshall in “Rebels,” “Forces of Destiny,” an episode of “The Bad Batch,” and the video game Star Wars: Squadrons.
Hera Syndulla was the captain of the “Star Wars Rebels” team. Her droid, Chopper, will also appear in “Ahsoka,” and possibly her young son, Jacen, who only appeared briefly in the final moments of “Star Wars Rebels.”
Hayden Christensen is also set to reprise his role as Darth Vader in “Ahsoka.” When he was part of the Jedi Order and still going by Anakin Skywalker, Vader trained Ahsoka. They last encountered each other in “Star Wars Rebels.”
Another main character from “Star Wars Rebels” recently made his live-action debut in “The Mandalorian.” It hasn’t been confirmed if he will appear in “Ahsoka,” too.
Lucasfilm also announced three new standalone “Star Wars” films and the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey. They released the first teaser trailer for “Ahsoka” starring Rosario Dawson as the titular Ahsoka Tano, who first appeared in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and then made her live-action debut in “The Mandalorian.” They also released “The Acolyte” footage exclusively at Star Wars Celebration. “The Acolyte” stars Amandla Stenberg as the titular acolyte and Lee Jung-jae as a Jedi master. Footage from “Rogue One” prequel “Andor” season 2, starring Gabriel Luna, also premiered.
