Andor Season 2, Ahsoka Season 2, and LEGO Star Wars Updates
Star Wars Celebration 2025 continued in Japan today, with details and exclusive first looks at the return of Disney+’s Andor and Ahsoka, as well as exciting news about a new LEGO Star Wars sequel special. The weekend-long convention, which is being held at Makuhari Messe Convention Center in Tokyo, runs from April 18-20.
Hosts Sascha Boeckle and DJ Taro took to the stage to kick off the day with a thrilling look at the highly anticipated Season 2 of the Emmy-nominated drama Andor, which returns to Disney+ for its long-awaited conclusion on April 22. The excitement started off with an exclusive look at a recap of Season 1.
The duo then welcomed creator/writer/director Tony Gilroy and executive producer and Cassian Andor himself, Diego Luna, to the stage. They were joined by executive producer Sanne Wohlenberg and cast members Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, and Alan Tudyk for a lively discussion of what fans have to look forward to in Season 2.
The 9,000 guests in attendance were then treated to a screening of the first episode, followed by an exclusive preview of Season 2, and everyone received a special Andor celebration poster as well.
The second Season of Andor takes place as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices, and conflicting agendas will become profound.
Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction—The Death Star—setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film.
Andor sets the clock back five years from the events of Rogue One to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from a disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.
The final Season will unfold over 12 episodes broken down into four chapters of three episodes each. The first chapter of Season 2 will premiere on April 22, with subsequent chapters debuting each week, exclusively on Disney+.
Celebration attendees were then treated to an exclusive look back at the first season of Ahsoka with guests Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, Rosario Dawson, and Hayden Christensen. Panelists shared never-before-seen photography from Season 1 and early production photography from Season 2.
Filmmakers officially confirmed that Rory McCann has been cast in the role of fan-favorite character Baylan Skoll, originated by the late Ray Stevenson, and the panel ended with an exclusive concept art preview of what audiences can expect from Ahsoka Season 2, which officially begins production next week.
Later that day at the Star Wars LIVE! Stage, Ahmed Best thrilled attendees with the announcement of a new LEGO Star Wars animated sequel series, LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild Galaxy – Pieces of the Past, and an all-new teaser poster.
In Pieces of the Past, a new threat rises in the galaxy, and Sig Greebling and Darth Dev must combine their powers of Force Building and Sith Breaking to stop it. Alongside Jedi Bob, Yesi Scala, and Servo, they will journey into the deepest corners of LEGO Star Wars lore, uncovering pieces of all the galaxies that have come before…
Returning voice cast includes Gaten Matarazzo (Sig Greebling), Tony Revolori (Darth Dev), Bobby Moynihan (Jedi Bob), Marsai Martin (Yesi Scala), Michael Cusack (Servo), Ahmed Best (Death Jar Jar), and a special appearance by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker). The four-piece sequel series welcomes Ashley Eckstein as LEGO BrickHeadz Ahsoka Tano and Ben Schwartz as Jaxxon.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild Galaxy – Pieces of the Past is written by Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, directed by Chris Buckley, and debuts on Disney+ on September 19, 2025.
