Ezra Bridgeractor Eman Esfandi just dropped a massiveAhsokaseason 2 hint on his social media accounts.Ahsokaseason 2is one of only two confirmedupcomingStar WarsTV shows, the other beingAndorseason 2. In part because of how few shows are currently confirmed to be in the lineup, plenty of attention has been given toAhsoka, includingcharacters who may appear inAhsokaseason 2. Ezra Bridger is seemingly no longer a question mark given Esfandi’s recent post, but the actor seems to suggest something much more surprising as well.
OnEman Esfandi’s Instagramstory, which is no longer available to view (due to the temporary nature of all Instagram stories), Esfandi shared the following,suggestingAhsokaseason 2 has begun filming. This would be news to many, given filming wasn’t expected to begin until this summer.
Eman Esfandi Hasn’t Confirmed He’s In Ahsoka Season 2… But It Seems Likely
The Implications Of This Post Seem Quite Clear
Ezra Bridger’s return inAhsokaseason 2 isn’t officially confirmed, butthis recent post certainly suggests the announcement is more a matter of when than if. This makes sense given the storytheAhsokaseason 1 finaleset up for Ezra Bridger. In the first season, Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren both wound up on Peridea and discovered that this was the planet where both Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra ended up followingtheStar Wars Rebelsending.
Who Is Grand Admiral Thrawn? Star Wars Villain Origin & Future
Featured as the major villain of Ahsoka, Grand Admiral Thrawn will define the Mandalorian era. Here’s all you need to know about the Empire’s heir.
The final scenes ofAhsokaseason 1 also confirmed that Ezra landed safely back in the mainStar Warsgalaxy, and he has already reconnected with Hera Syndulla. In light of that, it seemed safe to assume already that Ezra would be returning for the show’s second season, although that technically remained to be seen. It will be interesting at this point to learn whether this was indeed an announcement by Esfandi (and how permissible such an announcement was).
What Ezra Bridger Would Mean For Ahsoka Season 2
This (Possible) Announcement Drops Some Major Story Hints
There are a host of story implications forAhsokaseason 2 stemming from this potential announcement. For one, this would mean thatAhsokaseason 2 will span two distinct locations—one being the mainStar Warsgalaxy, where Ezra Bridger and Thrawn now are, and the other being Peridea, where Ahsoka and Sabine remain trapped. This would also presumably mean that the story pertaining to Thrawn, specifically regarding his attempts to bring together Imperial remnants, will persist in season 2.
This is particularly interesting givenThe Mandalorian and Groguis just around the corner, with a July 07, 2025, release date.Ahsokaseason 2 is set to release after that movie, which could mean a narrative throughline in both that movie and theAhsokashow regarding Thrawn and his power grab. Although this post from Eman Esfandi is not an official Disney announcement, it does seem as though Ezra Bridger will be returning inAhsokaseason 2.
