At this 12 months’s Star Wars Celebration, Dave Filoni shocked everybody by dropping the primary actual tease for Ahsoka Season 2.
It leaked on-line for a bit earlier than it was eliminated, and it was a full-blown retro-style idea artwork trailer that gave followers simply sufficient to lose their minds.
Filoni defined that George Lucas made a trailer for Empire Strikes Again earlier than he’d even filmed it, so naturally, Filoni determined to do the identical factor for Ahsoka Season 2.
It was a stylistic blast of an idea artwork sizzle reel with classic-style narration that appears like a misplaced teaser from Seventies and it was teasing epic lightsaber duels, historical droid monsters, and the continued unraveling of Ahsoka‘s deep-space cliffhanger.
The idea trailer showcased huge fleet battles between the New Republic and the rising energy of the Imperial Remnant, with Ezra Bridger absolutely suited up and prepared for motion alongside X-Wing pilots.
In the meantime, in that different galaxy the place Ahsoka and Sabine ended up final season, issues look bizarre and harmful in actually cool methods.
We catch glimpses of the duo wandering by way of historical ruins, squaring off in opposition to big, decaying droid guardians.
The narration set the tone, hyping up an epic confrontation:
“The imperial remnant is gaining in energy. Who will be capable of cease them? Within the continuation of the Star Wars collection, our heroes should confront enemies in two totally different galaxies as they battle the forces of evil.
“In the midst of the odyssey, we return to outdated associates … and battle historical machines from a darkish and horrible previous. Culminating in an superior confrontation between Ahsoka Tano and the Fallen Jedi Knight, Baylen Skoll.”
The trailer additionally teased David Tennant’s Huyang going through off in opposition to Shin Hati, exhibiting off a really Grievous-style transfer by splitting his arms into 4 and igniting a number of lightsabers.
Chopper then reveals up with a freakin’ repeater cannon and simply begins blasting. Oh, after which there’s Zeb, who’s formally again and becoming a member of his outdated Rebels crew for extra motion.
There was additionally affirmation that Sport of Thrones alum Rory McCann will take over the position of Baylan Skoll, stepping in for the late, nice Ray Stevenson. Additionally, Admiral Ackbar is coming in sizzling for a head-to-head in opposition to Thrawn. And, then there’s Hayden Christensen coming again as Anakin Skywalker.
Ahsoka Season 1 gave us eight episodes of legacy character reunions, wild house magic, and the long-awaited arrival of Grand Admiral Thrawn in reside motion. I can’t wiat to see all of this dropped at life for Season 2!
