Rosario Dawson Says There's Been No AHSOKA Season 2 Discussion; Reveals How A Big Anakin Moment Was Changed

The first season of Ahsoka concluded with several major plot lines left unresolved, leading viewers to assume that the story would almost certainly continue in a follow-up season.

While Dave Filoni's big-screen Star Wars project is expected to serve as a culmination of the various Disney+ shows, we still haven't had official word on a potential season 2 of Ahsoka, and star Rosario Dawson has now shared a somewhat disappointing update.

While speaking with the Dagobah Dispatch podcast (via SFFGazette.com), Dawson was asked if she has had any conversations about the future of Ahsoka, and responded that she hasn't heard anything yet - but, the actress did indicate that she would be discussing the series with her cast-mates at their next meet-up.

"No. We're supposed to be having a dinner soon, of the whole cast, which will be really nice because I haven't seen everyone. I was very jealous seeing everyone at some of their cons recently, which I wasn't able to be at."

Elsewhere in the interview, the Sin City star revealed that Anakin Skywalker was originally going to appear as a Force-Ghost before the final shot of the season to have a conversation with his former Padawan, but they decided to change the scene to make that last moment more impactful.

"We ended up tweaking that and playing with it a little bit. That moment with him coming out of the World Between Worlds was so significant, so it didn't make sense to necessarily have like another dialogue scene with him — because how could you really build on that in that way? So we transformed that."

She continued: "We sort of shifted it a little bit so she was watching him as a hologram, rather than Force ghost conversation. It also makes that moment in the World Between Worlds more ephemeral, like, What was that? Is she just dreaming? Is she really talking to herself? It's nice to keep that as a question mark."

We recently learned that Filoni is now Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm, meaning he will have a lot more say in the development of new big and small screen projects as he works more directly with Kathleen Kennedy to oversee the next generation of Star Wars shows and movies.

With this in mind, we'd say the chances of a second season of Ahsoka are looking pretty good.

“In the past, in a lot of projects I would be brought into it, I would see it after it had already developed a good ways,” Filon said of his new role at the time. "It’s opened up to basically everything that’s going on. When we’re planning the future of what we’re doing now, I’m involved at the inception phase.” “I’m not telling people what to do,” Filoni continued. “But I do feel I’m trying to help them tell the best story that they want to tell. I need to be a help across the galaxy here, like a part of a Jedi Council almost.”

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.

Kevin Kiner was announced as the series' composer.

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.

The show could definitely use a season 2, because I doubt the movie will see Ahsoka and Sabine return from far, far away.

And I hope that movie will feature more of Anakin now that he has been properly reintroduced again in both shows. Kinda hope he even shows up in the Rey movie.

Talking about the perfect casting. Dawson nails this part because of impeccable timing, she looks the part, great choreographing, and she owns the space around her. Just cool.

It'll probably be continued in Filoni's movie.

Ok, because you won't,

We've had a clip from the new director of the rey movie. In said clip she said, as a film maker, she likes making men uncomfortable. And doing so in the hopes of changing their minds.

She's clearly an activist first and a film maker second, something that's also reflective of her filmography. Which completely goes against what iger said about how disney needs to be about entertaining first.

It's clear disney hasn't learned their lesson and are doubling and tripling down on the sh!t that got them in the position they're in now.

@Origame - Here's her in another interview where she comes right out and says all her work and everything she does is based on her being a political activist.

She'll be 65 before they decide. Disney needs to have all its players be 25, given the timespan between shows/movies.
