“Ahsoka” S2 Trailer Leaks, Filoni Talks Film

In the wake of Dave Filoni’s “Star Wars: Ahsoka” series getting a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo over the weekend, a concept trailer for the new season screened at the event leaked online and has since been taken down.

Production on the new season begins this coming week, so there’s no actual new footage of anything that will be seen in the second run out there – just storyboards and concept art.

Nonetheless, SFF Gazette says the clip was reportedly done in the style of the teaser trailer for “The Empire Strikes Back” and indicates we’ll see Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren racing against time to stop Baylan Skoll (Rory McCann) from unleashing a powerful new threat.

Ezra Bridger, Hera Syndulla, and a returning Zeb Orrelios are dealing with Grand Admiral Thrawn’s plans while a Force-wielding Nightsister with green lightsabers is also in the mix. Another shot has Chopper wielding a massive gun.

During the event, Filoni spoke with Collider and offered an update on where things are with his own “Star Wars” movie, which is still in the works:

“It’s a long development. One of the reasons why is I like to work on very large arcs, and I try to factor in all the things that I’m creating simultaneously and look at them and say, ‘Well, how do we do unique things? What are unique set pieces, and where is the story going? What’s the play of the story?’

I ask myself these questions. I have general outlines for all these things, general timelines for all these things. I keep moving the pieces on the board for a big strategy. That’s the way I’ve always worked since I started on Clone Wars, and I got to the end of that series finally.

You keep that in your mind in the future while you’re working on the present. So, right now, I’ll be on Season 2 [of Ahsoka], and as those stories develop, it might change things that would affect what’s happening in the future and what I would do. At times, it’s a balancing act, but I’m constantly working at it, working out scenes. I know several scenes and where they would go, so you just kind of plug it in as you go.”

The second season of “Ahsoka” is expected to be one of the two big “Star Wars” live-action releases of next year, the other being “The Mandalorian & Grogu” movie in cinemas. Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter” will be the major live-action film release in 2027 but no live-action “Star Wars” TV series for that year has been set as yet.
