‘Ahsoka’ Season 2 Is Making a Major Change to Its Sci-Fi Formula

The Season 2 trailer for *Ahsoka* suggests the series will lean further into fantasy, with Ahsoka and Sabine pursuing a quest to find Baylan Skoll and a power he believes could end wars. This shift could help the show stand apart from other *Star Wars* series while drawing on the franchise’s longstanding blend of science fiction, fantasy and spiritual themes.

The trailer shows Anakin Skywalker speaking to Ahsoka through the Force, and the story continues from the pair being stranded in another galaxy at the end of Season 1. The article points to earlier fantasy elements in the show, including the World Between Worlds, the Nightsisters’ home planet and Thrawn’s corpse-like Night Troopers. It also notes that Lucasfilm is prioritising films again, making the future of live-action *Star Wars* television uncertain.
