Ahsoka Season 2 Trailer Debuts at D23, Starfighter Movie Teased
Lucasfilm unveiled the first trailer for Star Wars: Ahsoka season two at D23, hinting at a darker, war-focused narrative. The company also teased the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter film.
Lucasfilm offered a glimpse into its future Star Wars projects at the D23 event, premiering the first trailer for the second season of the series Ahsoka. The new season, slated for a January 20, 2027 release, appears to delve into darker themes within the Star Wars universe, with elements described as bordering on witchcraft.
The trailer reportedly features Grand Admiral Thrawn, characterized by his blue skin, red eyes, and a calm yet menacing presence, issuing threats of renewed galactic conflict following the Empire's collapse. This sets a tone of impending large-scale war in the post-Empire era.
In addition to Ahsoka, actor Ryan Gosling appeared on stage to tease the development of a new film, Star Wars: Starfighter. While footage was presented, it was exclusive to D23 attendees, leaving broader audiences without details on the movie's content or release.
Details surrounding Starfighter remain scarce, with Lucasfilm providing limited information beyond its initial announcement at the fan convention. The focus on Ahsoka's sophomore season suggests a continued narrative arc for the established characters and universe.
