Seasoned Star Wars fans have faced a history of delays and cancellations with various projects in the galaxy far, far away. Fortunately, Ahsoka seems to be avoiding this trend. Dave Filoni, the creator and sole writer of the series, recently confirmed that work on Season 2 is well underway, with filming tentatively scheduled for summer 2025.
In an interview with Extra TV, Filoni shared that writing the second season has been a challenging yet rewarding process. “I've been writing it, and I'm still the single writer on it,” he revealed. “It's a challenge, of course, but I've been enjoying it.” Filoni's careful approach to tying up storylines from the first season reflects his commitment to delivering a compelling continuation for fans.
Season 1 concluded in 2023 with a dramatic cliffhanger: Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren stranded in a distant galaxy, while Grand Admiral Thrawn returned to the main galaxy, setting the stage for chaos. Fans eagerly await the next chapter, though it may be a while before it reaches their screens. Sabine Wren actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo has hinted that Season 2 might not premiere until 2026. Meanwhile, Rosario Dawson, who plays Ahsoka, teased that Filoni has shared “tantalizing” details about her character's future.
Speculation about the series' fate has sparked concern, as rumors suggest that Lucasfilm might conclude Ahsoka with its second season. The studio's reported shift back to big-screen projects could explain this decision. However, fans can take comfort in knowing that Ahsoka's story might continue in upcoming Mandalorian films, given her ties to those storylines.
The wait for Season 2 is expected to be long, but updates may come during the 2025 Star Wars Celebration, offering fans something to look forward to. Until then, theories and anticipation will keep the fandom alive.
My Impressions: The announcement of Ahsoka Season 2 is both thrilling and bittersweet. Filoni's dedication to crafting the series promises a high-quality continuation, but the possibility of it being the final season feels abrupt. While the transition back to films is exciting, the depth of storytelling achieved in TV shows like Ahsoka may be hard to replicate on the big screen. Still, knowing that Ahsoka's story might persist in other projects offers a glimmer of hope.
Do you think wrapping up Ahsoka with Season 2 is the right move, or should Lucasfilm explore more seasons to fully develop its storylines?
