Star Wars: Ahsoka season 2 and Starfighter get teased at D23
EDITOR BRIEF
Lucasfilm used D23 to debut the first trailer for Ahsoka season two, which is set to arrive on January 20, 2027. The footage teases a darker, more mystical Star Wars story centered on Grand Admiral Thrawn’s threat to reignite galaxy-wide war after the Empire’s fall.
INSIGHTS
The previews suggest Lucasfilm is leaning further into genre expansion within Star Wars, blending witchcraft, darker fantasy elements, and prestige TV-style serialized storytelling. Keeping Starfighter footage exclusive to D23 also shows how major franchises are using fan events to build hype while tightly controlling early marketing.
