‘Ahsoka’ Season 2 Brings the Force — and More Anakin Skywalker

The Story

Ahsoka is heading back to the small screen, with the first look at season two of the Star Wars series arriving during D23 Friday.

In the footage, Ashsoka trains with a force ghost of Anakin Skywalker as she embarks on new challenges, declaring, “We’re in more danger than I thought.” She’s seen in climates all around the galaxy, navigating with support from her wide-ranging group of space friends and being pushed to her limit. Anakin pushes her at one moment, “Are you a Jedi or not?”

The season will bow in early 2027 on Disney+.

Per the logline, “As Ahsoka and her Jedi apprentice Sabine Wren travel across a mysterious and perilous world to find their way home, their friends Hera, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper, must face the powerful Grand Admiral Thrawn and his sinister allies, who seek to plunge the New Republic into war.”

Rosario Dawson returns to lead the series as the title Jedi hero. Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin, while the role of Baylan Skoll will be played by Game of Thrones alum Rory McCann, who steps in for the late Ray Stevenson.

Season one of the show also starred Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Ivanna Sakhno, Diana Lee Inosanto, Eman Esfandi, Evan Whitten, Genevieve O’Reilly and Lars Mikkelsen

Ahsoka bowed three years ago in August 2023 and was a solid ratings performer for the streamer. It hit Nielsen’s top 10 original streaming series charts every week that it premiered new episodes.

Lucasfilm co-chief Dave Filoni is behind the project after co-creating the character for the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars nearly 20 years ago.
