After a successful solo run last year, Lucasfilm has confirmed that Rosario Dawson and Ahsoka, alongside the rest of the returning and newly introduced characters, will return for a follow-up season of her self-titled show.
This exciting announcement was somewhat overshadowed (perhaps on purpose?) by the revelation of Jon Favreau's Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, but it remains, nevertheless, a significant development for the Star Wars universe.
The confirmation comes after the first season of Ahsoka ended on a cliffhanger. The storyline involved characters such as Sabine and Ahsoka being stranded on Peridea after helping Ezra escape from there, while Baylan Skoll embarked on a brand new mission as Grand Admiral Thrawn sets out to wreak havoc throughout the galaxy.
The character of Ahsoka Tano, portrayed by Rosario Dawson, has become a beloved figure in the Star Wars franchise. She's a unique character whose journey, which was initially explored in animated series like The Clone Wars and Rebels, evolved to become a major part of the larger Star Wars universe. The first season saw Ahsoka and her allies traversing new and relatively unexplored galaxies and encountering the World Between Worlds, adding depth and complexity to the Star Wars narrative. Finally, for long-time fans, it fulfilled the relationship between her and Anakin Skywalker, even bringing back Hayden Christensen to portray the fallen Jedi Knight.
