2027's Star Wars Rebels Sequel Will Abandon 1 Jedi Mainstay from the Original Show

Wait 5 sec.

The Star Wars project that acts as a sequel to the animated Star Wars Rebels show is going to be missing one of the 2014 title’s most prominent and recognizable elements. Disney and Lucasfilm are finally almost ready to debut Ahsoka Season 2 on Disney+. Following a gap that lasted longer than three years, the upcoming season of the Rosario Dawson-led Star Wars show (which is also a sequel to Star Wars Rebels) has been highly anticipated by fans for many reasons, including the fact that Hayden Christensen will be back as Anakin Skywalker, and because the Mortis Gods (from The Clone Wars) will be making their live-action debuts.It is no secret that the Ahsoka series is meant to act as an almost-direct sequel to Star Wars’ four-season Rebels show. Ahsoka features nearly every main character from Star Wars Rebels, tying in certain plotlines from the animated show into the live-action episodes. However, Star Wars and series creator/showrunner/writer Dave Filoni have indicated that Ahsoka Season 2 is going to abandon one of the most recognizable and anchoring elements of Rebels in Ahsoka Season 2, which is extremely surprising because the first season of the live-action Disney+ show carried the element over from Rebels.Lucasfilm Read full article on The Direct.
