The second season of Ahsoka has officially wrapped, but not everything behind the scenes is as lavish as before. As production in Los Angeles has just concluded, it became clear that Lucasfilm has dug less deep into their pockets for the new season compared to the first eight episodes.

Lead actress Rosario Dawson recently appeared at Comic-Con Scotland, where she shared some new details about the series. She mentioned that her last shoots were alongside Hayden Christensen, who is reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker. The actor previously played a prominent role in the first season, and his return has been officially confirmed since the spring.

Lower Costs, Same Ambition

According to Dawson, Ahsoka will have a smaller budget than the first season, which at that time cost over 100 million dollars. How the savings were exactly achieved remains unclear, but insiders point to the reuse of existing sets and scenery. However, it seems that the creative direction or scope of the story is not being adjusted.

Alongside Dawson and Christensen, several regular cast members are returning, although it is still uncertain how significant their roles will be. Lucasfilm keeps the substantive details well hidden, but it is expected that the new season will further elaborate on the events surrounding Thrawn's downfall and connect to the broader Star Wars storyline on Disney+.

Continuation In 2026 On Disney+

The second season consists of eight episodes and is expected to debut on Disney+ in 2026. Despite the budget cuts, interest remains high. Fans especially hope that the relationship between Ahsoka and her former master Anakin will be explored further this time around.

Earlier this month, all James Bond films became available on Prime Video. Sounds great for the fans, one would say, but this also sparked some controversy.

Amazon modified posters for several films to feature no guns visible. Many fans were unhappy about this change, and now the streamer is in hot water again.

Warnings

On Prime Video, the films come with warnings upfront. Viewers are alerted that the films contain traces of "violence, alcohol use, smoking, strong language, and sexual behavior." This varies from film to film.

The warning appears briefly at the top of the screen when you start the film. However, many James Bond fans are angry about the modification. "Stop coddling people," one person writes on X. "Let them turn it off if they don't like it."

Disney Character

Now, even a British politician has weighed in. Sir John Hayes, a Member of Parliament from the Conservative Party, said via The Sun: "Everyone knows that fast cars and a fast lifestyle are characteristically James Bond. It seems they want to turn Bond into a Disney character."

Notably, the warnings do not address everything. For instance, there is a scene in You Only Live Twice where Bond (Sean Connery) impersonates a Japanese person. This moment is now considered inappropriate, yet Prime Video provides no warning for it.

Bond 26

Due to this and the previous controversy, some fans believe that Amazon is making the Bond series too "woke". They are worried that the next film will ruin the franchise.

Director Denis Villeneuve, however, seems unconcerned by the criticism. He has previously stated that he is a mega fan of the franchise and is currently busy searching for an actor to play the role.
