New reports claimAhsokaseason 2 is set to begin filming in April 2025, with theStar WarsTV show relocating to the U.K. and apparently taking a different approach. The first live-action TV show made by George Lucas' protégé Dave Filoni,Ahsokawas a hit for Disney+. With Lucasfilm’s focus shifting to the big screen once again,Ahsokais the onlylive-actionStar WarsTV showin pre-production right now, and it’s expected to begin filming in spring 2025.
The latest report fromIndieWireconfirms this, reporting thatfilming is tentatively expected to begin filming in April next year. More intriguing, though, the production is reportedly moving to the U.K. - something of a blow for the Los Angeles film industry. According toIndieWire,“the show will utilize multiple different film techniques.“That’s a promising sign, suggesting this will be a very different show, one that’s massively improved from the first season.
What These Ahsoka Season 2 Changes Mean For Star Wars' Future
A promising sign for things to come
Ahsokaseason 1 was a huge success for Lucasfilm, breaking a downward trend in engagement with the variousStar WarsTV shows. It wasn’t perfect, though; modernStar Warshas depended on the Volume, innovative CGI technology that has gradually lost its shine. That makes the report thatAhsokawill use a variety of production techniques particularly exciting, because it should lend itself to a much more dynamic, kinetic show.
Ahsoka Season 2: Story, Updates, Everything We Know
Ahsoka season 2 is confirmed and has received exciting new story and filming updates. Here’s everything we know about the Star Wars project.
It’s easy to see why Dave Filoni wanted to focus on the Volume forAhsokaseason 1. His background lies in animation, and the Volume allows for much more control over production, which would have helped him transition to live-action. But theend ofAhsokasaw Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren stranded on the extragalactic planet Peridea, and this needed to feel like a much more well-developed, “real” planet.There’s no substitute for location filming when it comes to creating a truly immersive sense of place.
Our Take On Ahsoka Season 2… & Beyond
A great step forward for Dave Filoni
What makes this even more exciting, of course, is thatAhsokaseason 2 seems to be a step along the road to a destination announced at last year’s Star Wars Celebration. The variousMandalorian-era TV shows (and movies) are building to a climax, with Filoni directing his firstStar Warsmovie. This is generally expected to feature Lars Mikkelsen’sGrand Admiral Thrawnas the main villain, and it’s safe to assume Ahsoka and Sabine will get back to the main galaxy to participate in that epic adventure.
There had been some concerns Filoni would depend purely on Volume technology for everything he was working on. This latest report suggestshe’s instead seeking to continue refining his skills, moving to different production techniques. That should makeAhsokaseason 2 a marked improvement, while also boding well for his upcomingStar Warsmovie.
