Rosario Dawson is keeping fans in mystery, but thankfully not too much mystery. The actress let “Star Wars” nerds everywhere know that filming on “Ahsoka” Season 2 has commenced by posting a picture of a very distinct shadow outline to Instagram, which you can see below.

Accompanying what could only be the shadow of Ahsoka Tano, Dawson added the caption, “& we’re off…to galaxies far, far away….!”
Rosario Dawson first wielded the white lightsabers of Ahsoka Tano in Season 2 of “The Mandalorian” and later in “The Book of Boba Fett”. Her own series launched in August 2023, and story-wise wise it acted largely as a continuation of the animated series “Star Wars Rebels”, with both good and evil characters returning from the earlier show.
“Ahsoka” also saw the return of Hayden Christensen to the role of Anakin Skywalker. Anakin’s force ghost teaches his old padawan a lesson in the World Between Worlds.
Season One ended with Ahsoka and Sabine Wren finding the lost Ezra Bridger on the other side of the galaxy, only for Ezra and Admiral Thrawn to return to more familiar space while Ahsoka and Sabine remain lost with no hope of returning home.
“Ahsoka” Season 2 doesn’t have a release date yet, but it is expected to premiere sometime in 2026.
Also expected to release in 2026 is the film “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” which will see the return of Din Djarin and his adoptive son since “The Mandalorian” Season 3. A sizzle reel highlighted some great moments from the film at Star Wars Celebration 2025, including Din Djarin taking out snowtroopers in the belly of an AT-AT. “The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters May 22, 2026.
And “The Mandalorian & Grogu” wasn’t the only big upcoming “Star Wars” project that enjoyed a preview at Star Wars Celebration 2025. Shawn Levy’s Ryan Gosling-starring film name was revealed: “Star Wars: Starfighter”.
But just as Ahsoka Tano started out in an animated world, another animated project was announced at Star Wars Celebration 2025. “Maul: Shadow Lord,” an animated miniseries, was announced. The series will see Sam Witwer return once again to voice Darth Maul.
And for folks who don’t feel like waiting for their “Star Wars” fix, the premiere of the second and final season of “Andor” is streaming on Disney+.
