Summary
Star Wars: Ahsokaseason 2 received an update from the rumor mill that could give fans a hint at when the series will premiere on Disney Plus.
Ahsokaconcluded its first season with more than a few lingering storylines. However, the first season received high viewership for Disney Plus and generally positive reviews, so a second season seemed all but guaranteed. Lucasfilm hasn’t officially announced the show’s return. However, the company confirmed series creator Dave Filoni was developingAhsokaseason 2 when it announcedThe Mandalorian and Grogumovie.
Reputable scooperDaniel Richtmanhas now provided details on when Lucasfilm plans to start shootingAhsokaseason 2. According to Richtman, filming forAhsokaseason 2 starts in the United Kingdom in April 2025. This lines up with Sabine Wren actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s comments about shootingAhsokaseason 2whenThe Mandalorian and Grogufilming ends, scheduled to conclude by the end of 2024.
The Directspeculates that this production schedule could meanAhsokaseason 2 will premiere by summer 2026. The online publication bases this theory on the fact that the first season started filming in May 2022 and finished in October of the same year.Ahsokapremiered on Disney Plus in August 2023, 15 months after production began. Of course, there’s no guarantee thatAhsokaseason 2 will have a similar gap between production and release, and Richman’s report is unconfirmed by official sources. So, fans should take this speculation with a grain of salt.
Of course, it’s unclear what directionAhsokaseason 2 will take. While the first season concluded with unanswered questions–including what will happen toBaylan Skoll after Ray Stevenson’s death–some of these mysteries could be resolved in the upcomingStar Warsmovie directed by Filoni. This untitledStar Warsfeature film is touted as the culmination of the storylines explored in the Disney Plus showsThe Mandalorian,The Book of Boba Fett,Ahsoka, andSkeleton Crew.
Filoni’sStar Warsmovie is expected to focus on thefight against Grand Admiral Thrawn. The iconicStar Warsvillain disappeared at the end of theStar Wars Rebelsfinale, but the search for him (and Ezra Bridger) was the central storyline ofAhsokaseason 1. Both characters were found alive, with Thrawn viewed as the best candidate to unite and lead the fractured remnants of the Galactic Empire.Ahsokaseason 1 paved the way for a showdown between fan-favoriteStar Warsheroes and Thrawn. Fans must wait to see how Filoni’s movie andAhsokaseason 2 deal with the consequences.
Star Wars: Ahsokaseason 1 is available on Disney Plus.
