- Ahsoka Season 2 first trailer premiered at D23 in Anaheim on Friday, with new episodes not arriving until 2027 — nearly three years after the Season 1 finale aired in October 2023.
- The series continues Ahsoka Tano and Jedi apprentice Sabine Wren traveling across a mysterious world to find their way home, while their friends face Grand Admiral Thrawn and allies seeking to plunge the New Republic into war.
- Rory McCann takes over the role of evil former Jedi Baylan Skoll from the late Ray Stevenson, who played the character in Season 1.
- Hayden Christensen returns as Anakin Skywalker — a role he played in the Star Wars prequels and the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi — alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eman Esfandi, and Ivanna Sakhno.
- Dave Filoni created and writes the series, which returns for Season 2 early 2026 on Disney+.
- Ahsoka won a 2024 Emmy for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes and received four other nominations in crafts categories.
Why it matters: The October 2023-to-2027 gap is the timeline Disney+ is asking Star Wars fans to accept, while the Rory McCann recast (replacing the late Ray Stevenson) reshapes one of the show's key character dynamics — a real-world casting change that no trailer can fully reconcile.
