Ahsoka may technically be a sequel to The Clone Wars and Rebels, but it’s just as enamored with the past as Star Wars fans are. The first season of the Dave Filoni-created series saw the eponymous ex-Jedi (Rosario Dawson) reckon with her role in the Clone Wars and her complex feelings towards her former master, who famously became Darth Vader. As a result, Ahsoka couldn’t help but indulge in flashbacks, and the series even reunited a younger version of Ahsoka (played by Ariana Greenblatt) and Anakin Skywalker (a returning Hayden Christensen). It was the closest we’ve ever gotten to a live-action version of The Clone Wars, and with Ahsoka gearing up for another season, it won’t be the last trip down memory lane.
Filoni is currently writing the second season of Ahsoka, and rumors about it have slowly but surely been trickling out of the Lucasfilm camp. First was the rumor that Greenblatt would return for more flashbacks as young Ahsoka, reported by insider Daniel Richtman. According to The Bespin Bulletin, she’ll also be joined by Christensen and Ewan McGregor, who portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi throughout the prequel trilogy. The prospect of this Clone Wars reunion is intriguing enough, but McGregor may not be the only actor from the prequels joining the new season of Ahsoka. A fresh rumor also adds Natalie Portman, who portrayed Padmé Amidala in the trilogy, to the prospective cast.
