Ahsoka S2, Maul Series Revealed at SDCC 2025

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Lucasfilm unveiled the first image of Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger in Ahsoka Season 2, showing him with a clean-shaven look reminiscent of his Star Wars Rebels appearance and hinting at a larger role, possibly as a mentor to Jacen Syndulla or partner to General Hera Syndulla under the New Republic. Additionally, Lucasfilm announced Maul: Shadow Lord, an animated series revealing Maul's evolution beyond his Sith past, highlighted by his new leather attire and the omission of the 'Darth' title, indicating his transition to a crime lord. Fans praised Esfandi's performance for capturing Ezra's animated essence. The dual reveals reflect Lucasfilm's ongoing effort to deepen stories for beloved characters and to bridge animated and live-action Star Wars storytelling. Ahsoka Season 2 is expected to continue unresolved storylines and expand the Star Wars universe, while Maul: Shadow Lord promises to explore new facets of the iconic character. No exact release dates for either series have been confirmed.
