Claudia Black has confirmed she will not reprise her role as Mother Klothow in Ahsoka Season 2, and the reason has nothing to do with story direction, creative disagreement, or performance. It comes down to something far more real: logistics and livelihood. In an honest, heartfelt explanation, Black revealed that although Lucasfilm initially intended for her to return, the studio ultimately couldn’t meet the financial needs required for her to participate — especially as a single parent based in Los Angeles while production moves overseas. “I’m going to be transparent. They picked up season two, picked me up with it, and then Disney, which is structuring things differently these days, could not pay me what I needed to be paid as a single mother to keep all my responsibilities going at home in Los Angeles, because they were filming in London. It was not something that they could make happen,…

When You Can’t Copy the Master: How Doug Chiang’s Design Philosophy Shapes the Visual Future of Star Wars
When Doug Chiang openly admits that “only George truly knows what Star Wars design is,” and adds “I do my best, but I don’t always get it 100 per cent right,” he’s not issuing a humble shrug — he’s stating a core creative principle. Read his words here That philosophy is quietly, but profoundly, shaping how Star Wars looks today: from TV to games to new films. Because when you accept that there is no perfect template — only spirit, evolution, and reinterpretation — you give yourself permission to adapt, innovate, and keep a decades-old galaxy alive. The Weight of Legacy: Why Recreating “Classic Star Wars” Is a Trap A. The Original Aesthetic Was Implied, Not Codified George Lucas defined Star Wars design through practical sets, costumes, and visual practicality — before reference artbooks, prequel CGI uniforms, or decades of expanded lore. That original aesthetic was organic: lived-in, functional, and…

In a recent interview, Rosario Dawson revealed that the character will be entering Season 2 with more joy, connection and community than ever before.

Star Wars and Adventure – Why We Love Exploring the Unknown
In a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars has captivated generations with its tales of heroes, villains, and uncharted worlds. Ever since the first film premiered in 1977, creator George Lucas has become a cultural icon. This was not only for the epic storytelling and spectacular battles that the movies offered, but more so because the franchise awakened a deeper sense of adventure within us.

Specifically for…
