Ashley Eckstein, who voices Ahsoka, teases her return to Star Wars and talked about what viewers can expect in Season 2. She was happy that Ahsoka would be back in the "Star Wars Rebels" Season 2. She told Tech Times, "I always felt that Ahsoka did not have to die and I hoped that [showrunner] Dave Filoni and his amazing writing staff would find a way to keep her alive — I just wasn't sure how they were going to do it! When Dave told me the finale arc, it made so much sense and I was overjoyed!"
But for Ahsoka, Season 2 is not a joyous ride. Ahsoka was mightily disappointed in the June premiere when she ound out that her mentor, Anakin Skywalker, had gone over to the dark side. When Ahsoka meets Darth Vader, they will face-off in a padawan-apprentice confrontation.
Kanan, Ezra and his team are in such a situation that they have to work with the Clones whom they dislike because of the outcome of Order 66. Working together changes their outlook and the Ghost team begins to trust the Clones.
