Ewan McGregor is rumored to reprise his most iconic role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the upcoming ‘Ahsoka’ Season 2.
Following the recent confirmation that ‘Game of Thrones’ star Rory McCann will take over the role of Baylan Skoll from the late Ray Stevenson, work on the second season of Ahsoka is said to be progressing rapidly.
The first season ended on a major cliffhanger, with Grand Admiral Thrawn returning to the main galaxy and heading to Dathomir alongside the Great Mothers. Meanwhile, Ezra Bridger reunited with Hera Syndulla, but Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren were left stranded on Peridea with no way home. The finale also featured the Force Ghost of Anakin Skywalker watching over them in its closing moments.
According to Kristian Harloff, Hayden Christensen is expected to have a “pretty big role” in ‘Ahsoka’ Season 2. The insider also revealed that Ariana Greenblatt will return as young Ahsoka, but the most exciting news is that Ewan McGregor will reportedly reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Speaking at the ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ premiere at Disneyland last month, Dave Filoni provided an update on ‘Ahsoka’ Season 2’s progress.
“I’m so well into that as well. I’ve been writing it, and I’m still the single writer on it, and so I’ve been enjoying doing that, but it’s a challenge, of course, and working some of these arcs through has been a challenge and making sure it’s all going to come out in a way that I think is exciting for fans,” he shared.
“I know that they’re interested in where some of the things I developed in Season 1,” Filoni continued. “I’m pretty happy with it. Love working with Rosario [Dawson], so I can’t wait to get back to that.”
‘Star Wars’ Celebration will take place in Japan this April, and the event is expected to reveal new details about ‘Ahsoka’ Season 2 and ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu.’
