No Time Jump: Ahsoka Season 2 Reportedly Picks Up Right After the Season 1 Cliffhanger
Ahsoka season 2 will hit the ground running, picking up immediately after season 1 and charging straight into the fallout.
Looks like Ahsoka season 2 is picking up right where we left off — no time skip, no breath, straight back into the mess. That comes from the new issue of Star Wars Insider, relayed by the Star Wars Holocron Twitter account.
Where we left everyone
Season 1 closed with Ahsoka Tano and her apprentice Sabine Wren stranded on Peridea — that far-flung, other-galaxy stopover we spent half the season trying to reach. Grand Admiral Thrawn, meanwhile, actually pulled it off: he escaped. The silver lining? Ezra Bridger was stowed away on Thrawn’s ship and made it home. Back on Peridea, Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati stayed behind. Baylan’s last shot was him standing on a massive statue of the Mortis god known as the Father — a pointed visual that practically screams deep-lore detour, potentially brushing up against the World Between Worlds. And just to underline that Ahsoka is meant to be exactly where she is, Anakin Skywalker’s Force ghost appeared to her in the finale’s final moments.
So, what does 'no time jump' actually mean?
It means season 2 should open in the immediate aftermath of all that: Ahsoka and Sabine still on Peridea, Thrawn now a very real problem back in the home galaxy, Ezra figuring out how to be back in the mix, and Baylan and Shin off chasing whatever that Mortis tease was pointing to. If you wanted the story to linger in the weird space-mystic corner of Star Wars for a minute, this is your moment.
What we know right now
- No time jump from the season 1 ending, per the new Star Wars Insider (via Star Wars Holocron on Twitter).
- At Star Wars Celebration 2025, Dave Filoni said Admiral Ackbar will appear and go up against Thrawn. Yes, that Ackbar. Yes, that Thrawn.
- Rory McCann (from Game of Thrones) will step into the role of Baylan Skoll following the passing of Ray Stevenson.
- Hayden Christensen is back as Anakin Skywalker.
- Footage shown privately teased large-scale battles across two galaxies and Ahsoka and Sabine throwing down with giant droids.
- Timing-wise: The Mandalorian and Grogu movie hits first, marking Star Wars’ return to the big screen. Ahsoka season 2 is expected after that, in 2026.
A quick nerdy detour
That Mortis statue isn’t just a cool backdrop. The Mortis gods — the Father, the Son, and the Daughter — are a symbolic, very cosmic take on the Force from The Clone Wars. Pair that with the World Between Worlds (basically a metaphysical crossroads we’ve seen Ahsoka use), and it sure feels like Baylan’s storyline is headed toward the stranger, heavier mythology. If season 2 starts immediately, expect the show to address that thread fast.
The bottom line
Ahsoka leaving us marooned in another galaxy was a bold choice; not skipping ahead suggests Filoni wants to sit in the consequences. With Ackbar vs. Thrawn, Hayden back as Anakin, and giant droids stomping around two galaxies, season 2 sounds big — and weird in a good way. We just have to get through The Mandalorian and Grogu on the big screen first, then Ahsoka should land in 2026.
