Ahsoka Season 2 is moving on without one of its Nightsisters. Claudia Black, who portrayed Klothow, the leader of a group of Force-sensitive “witches” in Season 1, “had to bow out” of Season 2 due to pay disputes. Amid rumors of Ahsoka now working with a smaller budget, it seems like the Star Wars series is working to cut corners wherever it can, even where its cast is concerned.
“They could not, sadly, support a single mom,” Black recently told Bleeding Cool. “[Lucasfilm] picked up Season 2, picked me up with it, and then Disney, which is structuring things differently these days, could not pay me what I needed to be paid as a single mother to keep all my responsibilities going at home in Los Angeles, because they were filming in London. It was not something that they could make happen.”
