Rosario Dawson Confirms Ahsoka’s Clone Wars Self Is Coming Back In Season 2, And It’s All Thanks To Anakin

by

The second season of Ahsoka will explore a new chapter in the character’s story, revisiting elements of her personality from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The Disney+ series takes place about 30 years after The Clone Wars, where Ahsoka Tano was first shown as Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice. This new season finds Ahsoka, now a Jedi Master, facing difficult times after years of hardship following Order 66 and the fall of her master, Darth Vader.

Season 2 of Ahsoka will show the character reconnecting with the hopeful spirit fans remember from The Clone Wars. According to Rosario Dawson, who plays Ahsoka in live-action Star Wars, the new season will feature Ahsoka “relaxing” and rediscovering her happiness, as she shared at a Comic-Con event (via Sci-fi & Fantasy Gazette).

Rosario Dawson described the character as initially possessing a powerful and composed demeanor. She’s enjoying seeing the character become more relaxed and rediscover her happiness.

Dawson believes Ahsoka’s growth and healing stem from her experiences with Anakin in Season 1. He appeared to her as a Force ghost within the World Between Worlds, offering guidance and valuable life lessons. Dawson emphasized how crucial these interactions were for Ahsoka’s emotional recovery.

Rosario Dawson believes the scenes with Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker were crucial for her character to overcome past trauma and become more fully engaged in the present. She’s excited that the show’s second season will delve deeper into this healing process.

Rosario Dawson, who plays Ahsoka, explained that the new series will show Ahsoka interacting with people in the community more often. This is a shift from her previous behavior, where she largely worked alone, even though she was connected to the Rebel Alliance.

Rosario Dawson expressed her happiness that they’re able to bring more happiness and relaxation into the person’s life, and help them connect with their community more than before.

The second season of Ahsoka is the next big live-action Star Wars series planned for release in 2026. It will continue the story from Season 1, where the villain Grand Admiral Thrawn was freed and Ahsoka and Sabine found themselves stranded on the planet Peridea. Rosario Dawson returns as Ahsoka, and the cast also includes Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Eman Esfandi, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Lars Mikkelsen.

Anakin Skywalker’s Impact Continues To Be Felt in Ahsoka Season 2

Anakin and Ahsoka’s bond broke when Anakin fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. Ahsoka didn’t initially know about his transformation, but a confrontation between them in Star Wars Rebels revealed his fate, causing her significant emotional distress for years afterward.

The experience deeply affected Ahsoka, initially preventing her from training Sabine Wren, as shown in the first season of the Disney+ series. But by confronting her past with Anakin’s spirit as a guide, Ahsoka learned to apply his teachings and move forward.

Dawson’s words suggest Ahsoka’s recent journey could allow her to become the cheerful and spirited character fans adored in The Clone Wars. It will be compelling to see if she can now mentor Sabine, and how their relationship will differ from what we saw in Season 1.

Hayden Christensen is officially returning as Anakin Skywalker in the second season of Ahsoka. This suggests Ahsoka may still have lessons to learn from her old master, and could mean we’ll see more flashbacks to the Clone Wars period. With Ariana Greenblatt having played young Ahsoka in those flashbacks, the show will likely continue to explore different points in the Jedi’s life on Disney+.
