After tonight’s pulse-pounding journey closing out the primary season of Star Wars: Ahsoka, followers could also be left questioning if a second season is on the playing cards. A report signifies that one is brewing, however it has not been formally ordered as of but.
When Deadline did a recap of the season finale, “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord”, they made a word about what the longer term holds in retailer for Ahsoka showrunner Dave Filoni. They wrote:
“Some followers have speculated that Dave Filoni’s standalone characteristic movie, which will probably be a end result of his Disney Plus/Lucasfilm universe of The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka, and many others. facilities round Thrawn, and that’s poised to be subsequent. However, we hear that Ahsoka Season 2 is extra of a actuality within the dialog, however nothing is locked but. Tonight there have been no placards teasing that Ahsoka would return within the speedy future. Natch, the ending WGA strike and the continued actors strike has postpone manufacturing for a while.”
We’ve identified {that a} second season of Ahsoka is within the playing cards for a number of months, from Rosario Dawson publicly advocating for it to studies suggesting it might occur relying on the streaming numbers for the primary season. Deadline is now saying that this new season would come earlier than Dave Filoni’s theatrical movie, which makes a variety of sense, contemplating how the story ended. However, issues are apparently up within the air, as Disney Plus hasn’t greenlit it but.
This truly appears affordable, as we’ve simply completed a five-month writers’ strike that began lengthy earlier than Ahsoka began airing and earlier than Disney may actually gauge the viewers’s engagement with it. Hopefully, Dave Filoni will get the go-ahead sooner slightly than later now that he’s allowed to write down once more. Interestingly sufficient, as io9 noticed, the official Star Wars Twitter account posted a message saying “Get prepared for the collection finale of Ahsoka” on Tuesday, then deleted it and reposted it saying “Get prepared for the season finale of Ahsoka“. Obviously, not loads to learn into that, as they doubtless need to hold their choices open, however value noting nonetheless.
Between his duties with Star Wars tv (the fourth season of The Mandalorian was set to start filming this fall pre-strikes) and his forthcoming movie occasion serving because the end result of the fan-dubbed MandoVerse, Filoni has fairly a bit of labor that he’s dedicated to on high of overseeing the event of animated Star Wars content material. And for now, it looks as if his efforts will probably be with tv as a substitute of constructing the hyperspace leap to the realm of movie proper out of the primary season of Ahsoka.
