Mortis Gods confirmed in Ahsoka 2 Filoni reveals
Before we dive into the action of the next chapter of Ahsoka, we need to talk about the cosmic baggage Ahsoka and her crew found themselves carrying: the Mortis Gods.
Introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, these three powerful figures—The Father, The Son, and The Daughter—don’t just exist in the mythology; they embody the very essence of the Force. And now, series creator Dave Filoni has confirmed that these deities are “definitely a thing,” poised to play a significant role in the upcoming second season of Ahsoka.
The connection to these divine figures is already woven into the narrative. At the close of the first season, Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren were left stranded on the desolate planet Peridea, a stark landscape dotted with giant statues of the Mortis Gods. This ancient, mysterious backdrop sets the stage for the profound questions that will define the new arc.
Filoni has teased the depth of these elements, asking the audience to contemplate the weight of these entities. “What we’re dealing with is: are you going to believe in this, or not? And what is the danger if it’s real? And how are you going to prioritise your goals here?” Filoni pondered, musing on the moral and practical dilemmas that unfold when confronting true cosmic power. He further suggested that the season will explore the fascinating conflict between the Jedi’s path and that of an ordinary person, as the characters navigate this perilous landscape.
The journey in Ahsoka season two promises to continue Ahsoka and Sabine’s extraordinary quest beyond the known galaxy. As they travel across a mysterious and perilous world, their friends Hera, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper must grapple with immense threats, including the powerful Grand Admiral Thrawn and his sinister allies who seek to ignite a war against the New Republic.
The ensemble cast remains stellar, featuring Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, alongside familiar faces like Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, and Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Hayden Christensen returns as Anakin Skywalker, and Ariana Greenblatt steps into the role of young Ahsoka.
Adding another layer of intrigue, the role of Baylan Skoll has transitioned to Rory McCann of Game of Thrones. McCann has embraced the challenge, stating that he believes it is the right decision to carry on the storyline, noting the excitement of stepping into a new narrative role. The epic tale of the Mortis Gods, Ahsoka’s perilous journey, and the inevitable clash of ideals are set to premiere on Disney+ on January 20, 2027.
