00:00Hello my dear friends and welcome back to another Star Wars video.

00:03So today we have a couple of Ahsoka Season 2 updates.

00:07Filming is already taking place here in the UK, the show doesn't drop until 2026,

00:12there's the Mandalorian and Grogu movie coming first,

00:14so we're probably not going to get anything too substantial for quite some time.

00:18That being said, we will take any breadcrumbs we can get.

00:22We had some awesome concept art at Star Wars Celebration,

00:25some comments from the new Balan, Roy McCann,

00:28and today my friends, we have a tease from Ivana Sakhno, Shin Hattie,

00:33one of the most captivating villains of the Disney Star Wars era,

00:37and the actress has been doing a press tour, not for Ahsoka, but for Megan 2.0.

00:42And I know what you're thinking, but no, it's not the name of my second channel,

00:46and it has nothing to do with me.

00:48But, after Ivana was asked about her role in Megan,

00:51and that sounds very weird to say by the way,

00:53she was asked about Ahsoka Season 2,

00:55and that's just the way it goes with Star Wars actors.

00:58No matter what else they're in,

01:00they're going to be asked about the galaxy far, far away.

01:02And while she can reveal too much,

01:04we know she's already filmed a couple of scenes,

01:07and she seems so enthusiastic.

01:09Speaking to ComicBook.com, she said,

01:11I really wish I could share something with you,

01:13but I have to be honest, you won't get anything from me.

01:16A lot of heart is being put into it.

01:18And here's the big part,

01:20we're trying to honour the world and the story as much as possible,

01:23and we have some really cool fights coming up, hopefully.

01:26Obviously, she cannot say too much about this,

01:28but what we did garner from the concept art shown by Dave Filoni at Celebration in Japan,

01:33big spoiler warning, my friends,

01:35Shin is going to fight Hu Yang.

01:37That's right,

01:38now that she's been abandoned by Balin,

01:40now that Shin is joined up with the bandits,

01:42she's in survival mode on Peridia.

01:44And while we have no idea if she will eventually team up with Ahsoka and Sabine,

01:48it seems like they're going to remain adversaries.

01:51And Hu Yang turns into freaking General Grievous,

01:53multiple lightsabers in his many hands,

01:56and we all know how much Dave Filoni loves a visual reference,

01:59so that's definitely a callback to Revenge of the Sith.

02:01But Hu Yang goes Grievous up against Shin Hattie,

02:04and I think it stands to reason there'll also be a rematch between Shin,

02:07and Sabine.

02:09Sabine this time may be more advanced,

02:11in her lightsaber skills,

02:12reconnected to the Force,

02:14and under the tutelage of Ahsoka Tano once more.

02:17So it's going to be different.

02:18And we know they're filming the Peridia scenes on location,

02:21so visually speaking,

02:22it's going to be a much more impressive season.

02:24They also got the cinematographer from the Netflix show Wednesday,

02:28so if you're talking about creepiness,

02:30Daphomia,

02:31the Great Mothers,

02:32a more vibrant colour palette,

02:34season 2 might be quite an interesting creative departure from the first season,

02:38and I see that as a win.

02:40However, my friends,

02:41we are still without an official release date.

02:44My prediction,

02:44if The Mandalorian in Grogu is coming first in May of 2026,

02:48Ahsoka season 2 will follow a similar pattern to the first,

02:51releasing sometime in August or September.

02:55If there are delays in production,

02:57which has been a trend with Lucasfilm,

02:58then maybe it gets pushed to December,

03:00a festive release like Skeleton Crew.

03:03Now just before we talk about our second Ahsoka update,

03:06I want to give you a little nugget,

03:08a bit of hope,

03:09for The Mandalorian in Grogu,

03:11and make you realise just how close

03:12our first look really is.

03:15So, Empire Magazine released their world-exclusive

03:18first look at Avatar 3.

03:20Avatar Fire and Dash releases on the 19th of December,

03:23and now we have some new stills,

03:25and some new information.

03:27The marketing campaign has officially begun

03:29six months out from release.

03:31If this is the way Disney and Empire Magazine are doing things,

03:34if this is the model for big blockbusters,

03:36then using the same maths,

03:38I reckon they're going to release the first look

03:40at The Mandalorian movie sometime this coming winter.

03:43If it's coming in May 2026,

03:45and using the six months as a good buffer

03:47between first look and official release,

03:49then we might get our first posters,

03:51photos,

03:52and interviews with the cast,

03:54this coming November.

03:55But because it's Star Wars,

03:57and because there hasn't been a Star Wars movie

03:59since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019,

04:01then they might begin the marketing campaign even earlier,

04:05maybe sometime in September.

04:06So we could just be a couple of months away

04:08from our first official Star Wars movie teaser in years.

04:12How exciting.

04:14And so now,

04:15on to another Ahsoka update.

04:16So, as I've said,

04:19principal photography has already begun,

04:21and we've heard so many rumours.

04:23The possibility of Tomor Morrison returning as Captain Rex,

04:26more Clone Wars flashbacks with Ariana Greenblatt,

04:29Hayden Christensen,

04:30this time we might even have Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman.

04:34But now we have another development,

04:36one which might solidify

04:37that we are getting more Clone Wars flashbacks.

04:40Ariana Greenblatt was spotted supporting Rachel Zegler's new play here in London.

04:44Now, it could just be that they're good friends,

04:47but isn't it a bit coincidental

04:49that Ahsoka is filming at the moment?

04:51And multiple Ahsoka actors have been confirmed to be here in the UK.

04:55I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons

04:57is to film some of those flashbacks.

05:00And I want to ask you guys in the comments,

05:01this is the question of the day.

05:03What kind of flashbacks do you want to see in Ahsoka Season 2?

05:06There've been some rumblings of the Mortis arc

05:09getting a live-action rendition.

05:11So that could be the way Ewan McGregor features.

05:12We literally see Ahsoka, Anakin, and Obi-Wan

05:16crash-landing on Mortis, falling asleep,

05:19waking up not knowing what happened,

05:21being guided by the daughter.

05:22And this would be such a cool addition,

05:24because you killed two birds with one stone.

05:26You help fans who didn't see the Clone Wars

05:28understand the statues that Balin was standing on.

05:32And for those of us who watched the Mortis arc,

05:34seeing it unfold in live-action as a kind of recap,

05:37making it feel more real and connected to

05:39the live-action content, that is just a delicious cherry on top.

05:43But if you had to choose a battle,

05:45if you had to choose a moment from the animated show

05:47that would work in live-action,

05:49that contributes to the story of Season 2

05:51without being too fan-service-y,

05:53what would you choose?

05:54I've seen many fans say Ahsoka vs. Maul from Season 7,

05:57but, with Maul dead at this point,

06:00I wouldn't see the purpose of them doing this,

06:02unless, and this was one of the crazier theories I've heard,

06:05what's in Thrawn's catacombs are Maul clones.

06:09Maybe the Great Mothers are connected in some way to Talzin,

06:12because they had her sword,

06:13and maybe they heard the legends of Maul and Savage Opress,

06:17and maybe they want an entire army of warrior Mauls.

06:21In that case, you could show a flashback.

06:23But then again, Ahsoka doesn't have to deal with Thrawn at the moment.

06:26She was left stranded on Peridia.

06:29Thrawn and the Great Mothers are back in the known galaxy on Dathomir.

06:33So for now, Ahsoka's biggest threat is Balan.

06:36And I'm telling you guys,

06:38by time Ahsoka Season 2 rolls around,

06:40I really believe it's going to get better viewership than the first season.

06:43If The Mandalorian and Grogu does well and appeals to a wide audience,

06:47the hype could be off the charts,

06:49and they could use the end of the movie,

06:51maybe in a post-credits scene,

06:52to market Season 2.

06:54Because by then, with Andor being the last TV show we remember,

06:58and with The Mandalorian and Grogu,

06:59which I don't think is going to have too many lightsabers in it,

07:02we might be craving something more Force-related.

07:04So with Clone Wars flashbacks,

07:06with the Nezra fight scene rumoured,

07:07for Season 2 Episode 1,

07:09The Mortis Gods,

07:10maybe Obi-Wan in flashbacks,

07:12it could really scratch that itch.

07:13But I understand there are concerns about fanservice.

07:16Is it going to go too far?

07:17Well, that's why characters like Shin and Balen,

07:20who are new additions,

07:22are probably the most exciting characters in this show.

07:25Because we have no idea where they're going,

07:27and their purpose,

07:28in Season 2.

07:29There's a plethora of theories,

07:31but no one knows for certain.

07:33But, with that said my dear friends,

07:35I'm also looking forward to Megan 2.0.

07:37I'm a big fan of Ivana Sackno,

07:39really curious to see her performance as the android called Amelia,

07:42and it gives us an idea of her acting skills in 2025.

07:45She really is amazing.

07:47And let me know if you've already seen Megan 2.0.

07:49Is it as good as Star Wars Meg?

07:51I really doubt it.

07:52Can you really beat your galactic hostess?

07:54I don't think so.

07:56I'm just being silly my friends.

07:57Hope you enjoyed this video though,

08:06always.
