Ahsokaseason 2 has already been officially confirmed by Lucasfilm, and filming is now set to begin shortly. Following on from 2023’s season 1 run,plans forAhsokaseason 2 were officially announced back in January 2024. But the show’s timing was unclear, given production onTheMandalorian & Grogumovieand plans for Dave Filoni’s own movie intended to serve as an epic conclusion to various narrative threads which compriseThe Mandalorianera. WithStar Wars Celebration 2025now underway in Japan,ScreenRantis in attendance to get all the exciting news from that very famous galaxy far, far away.
Speaking at the Lucasfilm Animation panel at Star Wars Celebration 2025,Ahsokashowrunner Dave Filoni confirmed that production of season 2 will begin shortly, and Carrie Beck, Lucasfilm’s vice president of animation and live-action development, is currently in the UK preparing for filming to begin. This latest announcement follows on the heels ofSabine Wren star Natasha Liu Bordizzo previously hinting at production being scheduled for sometime in summer 2025.
What This News Means For Ahsoka Season 2
There Is Still No Concrete Release Date
Filoni’s confirmation that preparation for filming onAhsokaseason 2 will likely come as good news for fans eager to learn how the show’s titular heroine will continue her fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen). However,the show’s imminent return will also be somewhat bittersweet for audiences, with the tragic passing of season 1 star Ray Stevenson leaving the role of formerJedi Baylan Skoll set to be played byGame of Thronesalum Rory McCann.
While this latest revelation still does not supply fans with a concrete date forAhsokaseason 2’s return, given the timeframe between season 1’s six-month shoot and its eventual release, it may bereasonable to expect the show’s second season to arrive sometime late in 2026. This timeline would also ensure its potential release would not directly conflict withThe Mandalorian & Grogu’sown August 09, 2025 release date.
Our Take On Ahsoka’s Season 2 Return
Filoni Needs To Set The Stage For His Own Climactic Movie
With theStar Warsfranchise increasingly looking to expand beyond the bounds of established periods,there are still a great many questions that surround the period betweenReturn of the JediandThe Force Awakens. Given the galaxy-shaking implications of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s return in theAhsokaseason 1 finale, exactly how Filoni will weave his tale into what audiences already know about the eventual rise of the First Order remains to be seen.
However, among the plethora of newStar Warsmaterial that has been released in recent years,Filoni has consistently proven himself a deft hand at working new stories into the franchise’s existing lore. WithAshokaseason 2 also expected to reveal much about the role of the mysteriousMortis gods, it is likely that Filoni will be setting the stage for what will eventually become a climactic culmination that ties all the other post-Returnof the Jedistories together. As such,Ahsokaseason 2 may prove to be the most important step toward Filoni’s own era-ending movie.
