Ezra Bridger star says Dave Filoni "went nuts" for Ahsoka season 2
Eman Esfandi teases what to expect in Ahsoka season 2
Ahsoka season 2 is coming next year, and it sounds like we can expect big things from the second installment of the Star Wars show when it arrives.
"A lot of action. Fights, battles, explosions, lightsabers, lasers," Eman Esfandi, who plays the Jedi Ezra Bridger in the show, told Screen Rant of what he's excited about. "I'm having a flashback. So a lot of action, and I think everybody's gonna love it. Dave [Filoni] went nuts, and all of us were ready to follow suit of our fearless leader, and it's gonna be a lot of fun."
In a separate interview with the Thank the Maker podcast, Esfandi shared even more. "You guys will not believe how big it gets," he teased. "Dave just took the training wheels [off], it's like he took them all off for all of us and himself in some way. But obviously not himself, he's a legend. But, if you saw Rebels early, and you see Rebels towards the end, you see that he takes off training wheels. Clone Wars at the end. You're gutted. It's an adult drama… That similar transition where Dave started with kid shows, and then transitioned them into adults, as the kids do, not only who watch the show, but also the kids of the show.
"Ahsoka was a kid. Ezra was a kid. And they just have to grow up way too young," he continued. "But you watch that. And a lot of us who grew up, y'all's era, my era, the new era, we all had to grow up too young. There's war and everything going on all the time, trauma going all the time. We're all growing up too young, it feels like sometimes. It's impressive to see and I think Dave just does that really well. I think season 1 is almost like, 'Hey, Rebels season 5, here's some new characters, some set-up, some action, a lot of love, a lot of like, wow, oh my god.' And then season two is like guns blazing."
Not much is known about Ahsoka season 2 just yet, but, thanks to Star Wars Celebration 2025, we do know that Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Admiral Ackbar will go head to head, there will be battles across two galaxies, and Rory McCann is officially taking over the role of Baylan Skoll from the late Ray Stevenson.
Ahsoka season 2 arrives in 2027. While you wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming Star Wars movies and shows for everything else that's in the works.
