Ahsoka is "the centerpiece" of Dave Filoni's "work as a storyteller," and he's "giving a lot of thought to how Ahsoka fits into the overall, overarching" Star Wars "continuity," says Jon Favreau

While Ahsoka season 2 might not be coming until 2027, there's still plenty to get excited about.

The show will pick up the story of Anakin Skywalker's former Padawan in the aftermath of season 1's cliffhanger, which saw Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren stranded on Peridea, while Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger escaped home.

The Mandalorian and Grogu director Jon Favreau has previously revealed he has seen all of Ahsoka season 2, after the original plan for The Mandalorian season 4 was to help set up Dave Filoni's show.

When we met with Favreau in London to talk about The Mandalorian and Grogu, we asked if there was anything he could reveal about what he saw.

"It's a culmination for him [Dave Filoni] of not just what he's done in live television, starting with the episodes that he directed of The Mandalorian, especially introducing Ahsoka in live-action, but this is a character that he created with George, and this has been the centerpiece of his work as a storyteller," Favreau says.

"And as he transitions to running Lucasfilm, I think he's putting a lot of effort into honoring and giving a sense of continuity, and, to some extent, completion to that arc, and he has tremendous care with it," he continues. "And he also understands the high level implications of what's going on throughout the galaxy, and in the World Between Worlds, and with all the characters that have been established in canon within live-action Star Wars, but also extended universe and novels.

"And he pulls the best from everywhere, and he weaves it all together very well, and much like he did that with what happened with the prequels and what happened with Clone Wars and with Rebels, all of it ties together and threads," Favreau adds. "He's giving a lot of thought to how Ahsoka fits into the overall, overarching continuity."

The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives in theaters this May 22.
