The first season of Ahsoka was about the search for Ezra Bridger. So it’s fitting that the very first thing we see from the second season of the show is that character. At the Lucasfilm Pavilion at San Diego Comic-Con, amid a slew of fanfare for the history of Star Wars animation, an image sits alone, with a big smile on its face. It’s Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, with a new costume that confirms his look in season two.
When last we saw Ezra on Ahsoka, he had miraculously returned from Peridea, the place he blasted to decades later as a way to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn (at the end of Star Wars Rebels). Returning back to the proper Star Wars galaxy, we saw him reunite with his mother figure, Hera Syndulla, who was as shocked as anyone to have the apprentice of her long-lost loved one back. That, of course, left a lot of questions going into season two. And while this photo doesn’t answer many of them, it does answer one. Of course Ezra was going to join up with Hera and the Rebellion. The show he was introduced on, after all, was called Star Wars Rebels. He helped create the group that ended up ultimately defeating Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, at least for a bit. Now we’ll get to see how he can help in defeating Grand Admiral Thrawn once and for all.
All that from this one still image! Imagine what will happen when we get a first trailer for Ahsoka season two, which is still in production, so it probably won’t be out until late 2026. Hopefully, that means we’ll get that first glimpse sometime in the next year. For now though, let’s just cross our fingers that the second season will be worth the long, long wait.
