Although Star Wars has had some high-profile flops from the Sequel Trilogy to assistantThere was a really bright spot: Ahsokathe show that brought in Grand Admiral Thrawn and many of our favorites Rebels Characters into direct action. Fans have been wanting to know when we’ll see more, but a recent Forbes report provided the painful truth that we likely won’t see it Ahsoka Season 2 until August 2026. That would mean a massive three-year delay between seasons, which would kill the momentum of Star Wars’ biggest show at a time when the series desperately needs a win.
Forbes didn’t exactly have the foresight of the force when making this statement; Instead, they only inferred from the fact of it Ahsoka It recently wrapped filming its second season. Season 1 wrapped filming in October 2022 and aired in August 2023. Now, Season 2 has finished filming at the end of October 2025, so if history repeats itself, we likely won’t be able to stream it on Disney+ until August 2026 at the earliest.
Disney is making the same mistake as Netflix
The publication rightly sounded the alarm about there being a three-year gap between seasons, suggesting that fans had their knives out when Netflix waited almost that long to deliver it. Wednesdayseason two. It’s been awkward watching how these young characters (who are all supposed to be high school students) have aged, and making fans wait that long seems even more strange when you consider that Netflix wants to cash in on the success of Wednesday In an Uncle Fester spin-off. But wait longer Ahsoka Season 2 could be the kiss of death for the Star Wars franchise Hardly Need a hit TV show.
Since the catastrophe The Rise of SkywalkerThere have been no new Star Wars movies, and although we have two on deck (The Mandalorian and Grogu and Starfighter), there are countless canceled Star Wars movies that have made a lot of noise about them, including Patty Jenkins Rogue swarm film. Recently, fans were outraged to discover that Adam Driver and Steven Soderberger had a full script approved by Lucasfilm (Searching for Ben Solo) which Disney flatly rejected. Collectively, these cinematic failures and canceled film projects have put increased pressure on Star Wars TV shows to keep fans happy.
Why did fans love Ahsoka so much?
Unfortunately, the Star Wars offerings have been a mixed bag: The Mandalorian It was a breakthrough hit that has only gotten worse over time, while proven performances seem to be working Boba Fett book It was mostly panned. assistant It tried to do something completely new by setting the show in the distant past, but fans complained that it didn’t really feel like Star Wars. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi It played it safe, delivering a generally crowd-pleasing show that was nonetheless completely unnecessary to the canon franchise.
Ahoxa It acts as the best of both worlds by celebrating fan-favorite Star Wars characters like Ahsoka, Thrawn, and Ezra while introducing fascinating new characters (such as a manic Sith-y dream girl and her disgruntled former Jedi master) and situations (such as an Imperial tactical genius who returns to sew chaos into the carefully crafted order of the New Republic). It was a really fun show anchored by some excellent performances, and one that I was very excited to see return for a second season. For me, and for countless other fans, that excitement was largely dampened by the incredibly long wait between seasons.
The damage to Star Wars has already been done
If Forbes is right, we can expect four new Star Wars shows and a major motion picture among them Ahsoka Season one and season two. At this point, the series can’t win: if everyone loves those shows and movies, then Ahsoka It will become less interesting (after all, that was yesterday’s news). Years since). If the shows and movies end up happening, it will further damage the franchise’s brand, making it harder for the average fan to justify joining Disney+ for another round of dial-up.
There is always hope for Disney He will be released AhsokaSeason 2 is coming soon, but the damage has already been done. If they released it today, there would be more than two years between seasons More than enough to ruin even the best TV shows. Destroying any real excitement for Ahsokaarguably the best in the series, and arguably the best way to completely kill off Star Wars. While democracy may have died in this galaxy far, far away with thunderous applause, this franchise is about to die in a different way: with the thunderous noise of fans pressing the home button, searching for something better to watch.
