Will Rosario Dawson get the opportunity to wear the lekku and dazzle Star Wars fans with her portrayal of the titular Snips in Ahsoka again?
The new series occurred in the post-Imperial timeline and shared continuity with the ongoing Mandoverse. Ahsoka finally made her solo live-action debut alongside a host of other characters from Rebels, and the result was an epic 8-parter that took us to another galaxy for the first time in Star Wars canon.
What’s more, Ahsoka doesn’t end on a conclusive note, so I guess it was only a matter of time before Disney greenlit a second season. There’s just a lot of potential to this new story and timeline. All of our legacy characters are here, after all, and the show proves that its main heroine still has a lot of room for growth. So, regardless of how the confrontation with Grand Admiral Thrawn concluded on Oct. 3 last year when the season finale premiered, there’s more to come from Star Wars maestro Dave Filoni.
Is Ahsoka coming back for another season?
Though Dave Filoni and the rest of the producers remained, Disney has just confirmed that season 2 is already undergoing pre-production. Not only that, but Jon Favreau is developing a Mandalorian & Grogu movie before they take part in a huge Mandoverse crossover event directed by Dave Filoni. Think Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame but in the galaxy far, far away context, with Ahsoka playing a key part in bringing it all together.
The second season will probably involve Snips trying to find a way back to the main galaxy, but not before uncovering the secrets of the strange extra-planet that harbored the visages of the Mortis gods. Admiral Thrawn, meanwhile, will continue to enact his plan for the Empire’s resurrection. Ezra is back with his friends, but if the interconnectivity of this narrative is anything to go by, it will take more than the original Rebels crew to beat Thrawn.
Perhaps these Mandalorian movies will pit all these live-action characters against Thrawn in an epic showdown. And who knows? Maybe legacy characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia will make a comeback through deep fake technologies. This could end up being the sequel trilogy we always wanted, so I think it’s safe to say the future of the Mandoverse looks more exciting than ever.
