Fans have been wanting to know when we\u2019ll get to see more, but a recent Forbes report offered the sobering truth that we likely won\u2019t see <em>Ahsoka<\/em> Season 2 until August 2026. That would mean a whopping three-year delay between seasons, which will kill the momentum of Star Wars\u2019 biggest show right when the franchise really desperately needs a win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Forbes didn\u2019t exactly have the clairvoyance of the Force when making this pronouncement; instead, they just extrapolated from the fact that <em>Ahsoka<\/em> recently wrapped filming on its second season. Season 1 finished filming in October 2022 and aired in August 2023. Now, Season 2 finished filming at the end of October 2025, so if history repeats itself, we likely won\u2019t be able to stream it on Disney+ until August 2026 at the earliest.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Disney Is Making the Same Mistake Netflix Did<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>star wars history<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The publication rightfully sounded the alarm about having a three-year gap between seasons, pointing out that fans had their <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/knives-out\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:knives out;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">knives out<\/a> when Netflix waited nearly this long to deliver <em>Wednesday<\/em>, Season 2.

Meanwhile, <em>Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/em> played it safe, delivering a generally crowd-pleasing show that was nonetheless completely superfluous to franchise canon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Ahoksa<\/em> functioned as the best of both worlds by celebrating fan-favorite Star Wars characters like Ahsoka, Thrawn, and Ezra while also introducing cool new characters (like a manic Sith-y dream girl and her disgruntled ex-Jedi mentor) and situations (like an Imperial tactical genius returning to sew chaos into the New Republic\u2019s carefully-crafted order). It was a genuinely fun show anchored by some excellent performances, and it\u2019s the series I was most excited to see return for Season 2. For me, and for countless other fans, however, that excitement has largely faded due to the incredibly long wait between seasons.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>The Damage to Star Wars Is Already Done<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/KYkHbRQ.VQ455ils2xEnqw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/8cb026b31c98caba1612139d5a64b9a7\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If Forbes is correct, then we can expect to have four new Star Wars shows and a major motion picture between <em>Ahsoka<\/em> Season 1 and Season 2. At this point, the franchise can\u2019t win: if everyone loves those shows and film, then <em>Ahsoka<\/em> will become far less buzzworthy (after all, it was yesterday\u2019s news <strong>years<\/strong> ago). If the shows and movies end up bombing, though, it will further hurt the franchise\u2019s brand, making it harder for the average fan to justify tuning into Disney+ for another round of phoned-in slop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There\u2019s always hope that Disney <span>will release\u00a0<em>Ahsoka<\/em>\u2019s second season sooner, but the damage has already been done. If they released it today, having more than two years between seasons would be<\/span> more than enough to ruin even the best TV shows. Destroying any real excitement for <em>Ahsoka<\/em>, arguably the franchise\u2019s best series, is arguably the best way to kill Star Wars altogether. While democracy might have died in this galaxy far, far away with thunderous applause, this franchise is about to die a different way: with the thunderous noise of fans hitting the Home button, looking for something better to watch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Star Wars has had some high-profile failures ranging from the Sequel Trilogy to The Acolyte, there has been one really bright spot: Ahsoka, the show that brought Grand Admiral Thrawn and several of our favorite Rebels characters to live-action.
