Star Wars: New Faces and Familiar Ones Return for Ahsoka Season 2

Ahsoka fans have something to look forward to. Two actors have been confirmed for the upcoming season on Disney+. Hayden Christensen is set to return as Anakin Skywalker. This news comes straight from the Star Wars Celebration in Japan. It is not clear how big his role will be. In the first season, he had a small part as a Force ghost. He helped Ahsoka with her training in a strange place called the World Between Worlds. It is likely that his role will be similar this time around. Another big name joining the cast is Roy McCann. He is known for his role as The Hound in Game of Thrones. McCann will be taking over the role of Baylan Skoll. The original actor, Ray Stevenson, sadly passed away in May 2023. Stevenson had already filmed his scenes for the first season before his death. Baylan Skoll is a key bad guy in the series. He was once a Jedi but turned to a life of crime. In the first season, he worked with Morgan Elsbeth and the Nightsisters. Their goal was to find Grand Admiral Thrawn. The show's creator, Dave Filoni, had more to share. He hinted at some fun additions. Little Loth cats might make an appearance. He jokingly mentioned that he has to pay for the show somehow. This could mean there might be some cute Loth Kitten merchandise coming out. Filoni also teased more of Thrawn, Ezra, Hera, and even Chopper. He noted that fans made a big deal out of the droid. It seems Chopper will have a bigger role this time around. Star Wars fans have a lot to be excited about. The return of Hayden Christensen and the addition of Roy McCann bring new energy to the series. The hints at more characters and potential merchandise add to the anticipation. It is clear that Ahsoka Season 2 is shaping up to be an exciting continuation of the story. Fans will have to wait and see what other surprises are in store. The show has a lot of potential. It is a great opportunity to explore more of the Star Wars universe. The mix of new and familiar faces should keep viewers engaged. It is a good time to be a Star Wars fan.
