In the first episode of Ahsoka Season 1, Rosario Dawson’s twin-saber wielding Togrutan heroine Ahsoka Tano tells would-be Padawan Sabine that “I go where I’m needed.” And while it feels like Star Wars fan favourite Ahsoka — or, as we know her best, Snips — has been gone a real long time now (it’s been three years since her solo series’ debut), it looks like Lucasfilm CEO and series showrunner Dave Filoni has decided she needs to be back on Disney+ very soon. Per Deadline‘s reporting from Disney’s Upfront presentation today, Ahsoka Season 2 is finally set to hit our screens in early 2027.
Since learning that Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker would be returning in Ahsoka Season 2 — and getting our first proper look at Rory McCann as Force-sensitive mercenary Baylan Skoll — at Star Wars Celebration Japan last year, communications from a galaxy far, far away have gone pretty quiet. But, taking to the stage at New York’s Javits Center today, Rosario Dawson confirmed the timeframe for Ahsoka‘s return, promising those in attendance that “this season, the battles are bigger and the stakes are higher.” We’ll say! Though we’ve yet to get a proper trailer for Ahsoka Season 2 just yet, Empire was at the series’ Celebration panel last year, where we learned that not only are Ahsoka Tano and Baylan Skoll — and Admiral Ackbar and Grand Admiral Thrown — set to face-off this season, but, as our heroes find themselves battling across two galaxies, there’ll be more Mortis Gods revelations, more Dathomirian Witch shenanigans, and even some giant metal machines to contend with out in the uncharted territories of Peridea. So bigger battles and higher stakes then, just as Dawson promises.
With Disney and Lucasfilm having somewhat pumped the brakes on their live-action Star Wars streaming series plans in the last nigh-on two years, only releasing Andor Season 2 and Skeleton Crew in the last 23 months, all eyes will be on Ahsoka Season 2 now to see how Filoni handles the return of one of the saga’s greatest characters after a lengthy absence. But before then, there’s the small matter of The Mandalorian And Grogu to attend to — and that’s just days away now. Here’s hoping the Force is strong with Star Wars’ long-awaited big screen comeback on 22 May, and just as strong when Ahsoka Season 2 rolls around early next year. This is the way…
