Ahsoka Season 2 D23 Display Reveals New Anakin Skywalker Costume; May Confirm More Clone Wars Flashbacks

Thanks to a D23 display for the second season of Ahsoka, we have a first look at a new costume for Anakin Skywalker, which would appear to confirm that we will return to the events of The Clone Wars...

D23 is set to get underway later today, and we are expecting a few Star Wars announcements on Saturday. For now. we have a first look at the show floor display for the second season of Ahsoka.

The display features some concept art in the background (most of it debuted during last year's Star Wars Celebration) along with (slightly) updated costumes for Sabine Wren, Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Great Mother, one of the Nightsisters, and Ahsoka Tano herself.

But most intriguingly, we have a first look at what appears to be Anakin Skywalker's snow suit from The Clone Wars animated series.

We knew that Hayden Christensen would be back (Anakin returned as a Force Ghost in the Season 1 finale), but it looks like we will also flash back to Skywalker's pre-Darth Vader days when a young Ahsoka was his Padawan.

Christensen reprised his iconic Star Wars prequels role in the first season, appearing to his former apprentice when she became trapped in the "World Between Worlds" after a lightsaber duel with Baylan Skoll (the late Ray Stevenson). Anakin served as a spirit guide of a sort, forcing Ahsoka to confront her past and (potential) future.

It remains to be seen if a teaser for Ahsoka Season 2 will be released during D23, but we are expecting a first look at Star Wars: Starfighter.

Check out the display photos and video clips at the links below.

Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.

The series stars Rosario Dawson in the title role, with Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, David Tennant as Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn, with Eman Esfandi appearing as Ezra Bridger.

Ahoska is written by executive producer Dave Filoni, alongside executive producers Favreau, Kennedy, Wilson, and Beck. Gilchrist is co-executive producer. The series’ directors include Filoni, Steph Green, Peter Ramsey, Jennifer Getzinger, Geeta Vasant Patel and Rick Famuyiwa.

All Season 1 episodes are now streaming on Disney+.

That was probably the best episode of the show. Wouldn’t mind seeing more flashbacks between the two.

I really enjoyed season 1 so looking forward to season 2. Wish it wasn’t about 5 years later….

Disney is obsessed with nostalgia memberberry slop. They made something special with Clone Wars and they can't let it go.

Reboot the MCU and DCU

@FireGunn - There's a right way and a wrong way to lean on nostalgia.

Mando and Grogu and Force Awakens were the wrong way.

Season seven of Clone Wars and Battlefront 2 were the right way, I would argue.

Showing love and respect for characters and iconography while building upon them without just being...

@InfinitePunches - I 100% agree. Sadly, I believe Ahsoka sits more in the Mando/Grogu/Force Awakens category

The costumes look good!!.

Given the snow suits , definitely seems like we’ll get a flashback to Anakin & young Ahsoka in the Clone Wars as we kinda got in S1 too which could be cool.

Anyway , I enjoyed the first season (you would definitely get some more out of it if you were a fan of CW and Rebels which I am) so I’m interested in S2 as of now!!.

I know everyone’s been focused on Marvel but I think Lucasfilm might have a surprise or 2 in store aswell…

I think we’ll get trailers for Ahsoka & Starfighter (the former being released online while the latter would likely be in December alongside Doomsday).

I think we are still a bit too early for Maul S2 so I don’t see us getting anything on that until Celebration next year.

Otherwise , maybe we get a film annnouncement but they might be hesitant to do so given how projects haven’t materialized in the past but there’s a new studio head so we’ll see.
