Comic News: Ezra Flees Thrawn in Comic Miniseries Tie-in to Ahsoka

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

Look, I’m not saying Lucasfilm purposefully announced a new comic miniseries tying into the Ahsoka show right after we published a guest post about the state of tie-in media, but the timing is very ironic! Revealed ahead of NYCC, which has a Lucasfilm Publishing panel {Oct. 9 at 10am CST} and a Mad Cave Studios comic panel {Oct. 10 at 12:45pm CST}, Marvel’s latest comic miniseries is an original story, not an adaptation, filling in a vital part of the Ahsoka show, written by Rodney Barnes with art by Andrea Di Vito. Based on an idea from Dave Filoni himself, the biggest hat man at Lucasfilm now, Ahsoka: Escape from Thrawn will be a 5-issue miniseries revealing just how exactly Ezra Bridger, a stowaway aboard Grand Admiral Thrawn’s Chimaera Star Destroyer on the trip from Peridea to the main Star Wars galaxy, managed to evade the forces allied against him and return home, finally. Hopefully the comic ends with Hera and Ezra hugging this time! It kicks off January 2027 and will wrap up in time for the second season of the show. Head below for the full cover by Phil Noto and the solicitation. Continue reading “Comic News: Ezra Flees Thrawn in Comic Miniseries Tie-in to Ahsoka” →

{Updated} D23 2026: Ahsoka Trailer Goes Big for January 20 Premiere, Starfighter Trailer Leaks, Ben Solo Movie Hint?

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

With 2027 barreling towards us whether we like it or not, it was time for Lucasfilm to peel back some glimpses of what fans can expect on the big and little screens. At the D23 convention, they did just that, showcasing what appears to be a much bigger season for Ahsoka, which launches on January 20, 2027, with massive battles and a much better sense of scale than season one, judging by the trailer alone. Starfighter had its moment too, officially revealing a new poster with a new logo, but the leaked trailer is out there (which I break down below) if you look hard enough, also teasing a small focus with big potential. UPDATE: Plus, Dave Filoni responds how they aren’t making The Hunt for Ben Solo…right now!? Let’s get into it all below the cut!

TV News: Ahsoka Season 2 Heads to 2027

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

There was no certainty Ahsoka‘s second season would drop in 2026, but with all the goodies in 2027, it seemed like the smartest idea. Yet maybe to give the bigger, bolder sophomore run more time to shine its head-tails, it’s joining the early 2027 crowd. That’s right, we not only get A New Hope rereleased in some ‘original‘ form on February 19, 2027, Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles 2027 from April 1-4, 2027, and the Ryan Gosling led Starfighter on May 28, 2027, but Ahsoka Season 2 now as well. I’m imagining it’ll premiere at Celebration and be done a week or two before Starfighter.

Either way, this was announced at the Disney Upfronts and attendees got to see some early footage which the official site said showcased an, “…action packed second season, with a glimpse at epic space battles and thrilling lightsaber combat,” though no one’s broken embargo and leaked more of what they saw in more detail (at least that I could find). Also tucked in the announcement, alongside the expected cast returning, Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, while not too surprising given his Force Ghost appearance in the season finale (and World Between Worlds shenanigans prior), was confirmed as well.

Good luck to all our wallets and time in 2027!

Ahsoka Panel Promises Anakin, Ackbar, Thrawn, and More, Andor Panel Hypes Up S2! (SWCJ 2025)

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

The second day of Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 started with a focus on Star Wars’ TV future, one release more imminent than the other. Andor took the starting morning slot, hyping up a show I don’t think many fans need much hype for at this point (but the general public might), while the first details on Ahsoka’s second season, like Anakin Skywalker’s return, Rory McCann’s casting as Baylan Skoll, a panel-only teaser, and more took up the eponymous character’s panel. Check it all out below! Continue reading “Ahsoka Panel Promises Anakin, Ackbar, Thrawn, and More, Andor Panel Hypes Up S2! (SWCJ 2025)” →

The Mandalorian & Grogu Film Announced, Season 2 of Ahsoka Confirmed

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

After the way things ended in The Mandalorian season three, a disappointingly easy and far too quick conclusion to the series’ story so far, Jan Favreau and the story get to fail upwards in the first new Star Wars film to go into production, The Mandalorian & Grogu. Is it the start of a series of films? Is it bringing Din Djarin and Grogu’s story to an end? Or just picking it up until Dave Filoni’s film wraps up all the Mando-verse shows story? Will Pedro Pascal be more than the voice of Din for the film at least? Why couldn’t it just be another, shorter season of the show instead? And…is that really the title? Hopefully we’ll learn more soon since it’s set to be in production later this year. Also stealthily announced was a second season of Ahsoka, which was all but certain given how it all ended, but never confirmed until now. The Mandalorian & Grogu joins the upcoming slate of films which includes Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Rey/New Jedi Order (my most anticipated!), James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi, and the aforementioned Dave Filoni one.

Check back to the Manor as we learn more!

– Spoiler Review –

This piece was written during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike (the WGA one is over as of September 27). Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, this show, and those it continues stories from, wouldn’t exist. Consider supporting the strikes here.

Has it all been leading to this? The question remains pertinent in the Ahsoka season one finale episode “Part VIII: The Jedi, The Witch, And The Warlord,” as while we get plenty of enticing cliffhangers and hints where this story will go next, the show’s unwillingness to dive much deeper made one wonder why these characters got to this point.

Ahsoka Tano and Huyang show up for the party in the other galaxy in Ahsoka’s penultimate episode, “Part VII: Dreams and Madness,” which goes big with the action, returns to some political intrigue, and lets us spend some time with Thrawn and Ezra’s return, but makes it harder to swallow we’re one episode out from closing the season.
