Ahsoka Season 2 Rumors Suggest This Is Becoming The Ultimate Prequel Trilogy Reunion

These Ahsoka season 2 rumors suggest that the perfect Star Wars prequel trilogy could be on its way. Ahsoka season 2 is one of only two confirmed upcoming Star Wars TV shows, which has put a much bigger spotlight on the show. Already, rumors had been rampant that Hayden Christensen would be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming season, as the Ahsoka finale had shown Anakin watching over Ahsoka on Peridea as a Force ghost.

There were then a series of hints that Ewan McGregor and Christensen are returning to Star Wars, including McGregor mentioning donning the Clone Wars armor in a recent interview. This had already set the stage for a brilliant reunion between these two beloved prequel trilogy heroes. Now, though, a much more shocking rumor has begun spreading: the possible return of Natalie Portman in the role of Padmé Amidala in Ahsoka season 2.

Both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen have expressed interest in returning to Star Wars. This is thrilling in both cases, but not all that surprising, especially when it comes to Christensen. Particularly in recent years, Christensen has been clear that he is always happy to do another Star Wars project, and he continues to express love for Star Wars and for the role of Anakin Skywalker.

Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader’s influence on Star Wars cannot be overstated, and this complete timeline represents all the key events in his story.

McGregor is also clearly open to returning as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he has perhaps been dropping even more hints than Christensen. More than once in recent interviews, McGregor has discussed the possibility of his return, referencing things like de-aging and Clone Wars armor, suggesting a potential plot line. Of course, that has led to speculation that Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 could be in the works, although it was always billed as a limited series. Given that, could McGregor and Christensen’s next on-screen team-up instead be in Ahsoka season 2?

Natalie Portman’s Return Would Make This The Ultimate Prequel Trilogy Reunion

This News Would Truly Be Groundbreaking In Star Wars

Although Natalie Portman’s return as Padmé is currently only rumored, it is an incredibly thrilling possibility. Padmé is one of the most underrated characters in Star Wars, and her influence on the Star Wars timeline has been immeasurable, not only because she was Luke and Leia’s mother but also because of all she did as a queen, a senator, and someone who had a hand in the earliest seeds of the Rebellion. Getting to see Portman return as Padmé would truly make Ahsoka season 2 the ultimate prequel trilogy reunion.

It’s also important to note, there have been rumors to the contrary as well, suggesting Portman is not in talks with Lucasfilm to return in Ahsoka season 2. At present, it does seem a bit unlikely that Portman could really return to Star Wars, although part of that may just be because it seems too good to be true. While Star Wars has yet to indicate one way or another, the rumors that Ahsoka season 2 could see the return of all three main prequel trilogy characters are beyond exciting.
