Ahsokaseason 2 star Eman Esfandi has shown off his lightsaber training ahead of theStar Warsshow’s release.Ahsokaseason 2is set for a 2026 release date, with the show having begun filming in April 2025. Of all theupcomingStar Warsshows, the second season ofAhsokais perhaps the most anticipated.
On hisInstagrampage, Ezra Bridger actor Eman Esfandi has leaned into this hype by showcasing his lightsaber skills. Esfandi shared a reel of himself standing in front of a sunset and wielding a blue lightsaber, practicing his spins, flicks, and stances.
This indicates that production onAhsokaseason 2 is in full swing. Esfandi has long been aStar Warsfan, so seeing him wielding a lightsaber is not exactly uncommon. Still,Ahsokaseason 2 is expected to deliver on the action front, explaining Esfandi’s recent dedication.
It Looks Like Ezra Bridger Has Some More Lightsaber Action
The Fight Against Thrawn Needs A Jedi
As alluded to above,Ahsokaseason 2 is likely to include a great deal of action. The show is set inStar Wars' New Republic era, only now with Grand Admiral Thrawn looking to reinstate the Empire’s rule over the galaxy afterAhsokaseason 1’s ending. Therefore, Esfandi’s Ezra and his allies have a fight on their hands.
With this in mind, it makes a lot of sense that Ezra would have more lightsaber action scenes inAhsokaseason 2. The first season was about finding Ezra, but this time, Ezra is at the center of the New Republic’s conflict. As one of the few active Jedi in the galaxy, Ezra’s lightsaber skills will come in handy.
Our Take On Eman Esfandi’s Star Wars Future
Of all theAhsokaactors who were cast as characters who were once animated, Esfandi was my favorite.Not only does Esfandi look remarkably like the CGI model of Ezra Bridger created inStar Wars Rebels, but he nailed the character’s voice and mannerisms, too. For this reason, I am very excited about hisStar Warsfuture.
This lightsaber training video only increases that excitement.Ahsokaseason 1’s story meant that Esfandi was only used in the final few episodes, so the concept of getting more of him as Ezra in the future is certainly intriguing. After seeing just how much dedication Esfandi puts into his role inStar Wars,I am even more hyped forAhsokaseason 2 than I was previously.
