Welcome to Episode 157 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast! Join Nate, Jake and Chris as they delve deep into the aftermath of the first Season of Star Wars: Ahsoka, where they tackle some significant questions that have arisen.

***If you have not watched all eight episodes of Ahsoka, be warned that the Geeks are going into great detail about the big reveals from the entire first season of the show.***

The Geeks provide the latest insights on the potential for a second season based on insider information from Lucasfilm. Reflecting on the finale, they assess whether Ahsoka truly 'stuck the landing.' The Mortis arc from The Clone Wars episodes gains increasing importance in the discussion, and they examine whether the series succeeded in being accessible to fans who haven't consumed the full spectrum of related Star Wars content, particularly animation. As the Geeks ponder the future, they make bold predictions for the second season, should it come to fruition. Additionally, they interpret potential hints about the future of the franchise from a legal copyright filing related to the upcoming Skeleton Crew show, slated for early 2024, if legal records are accurate.

The Geeks also pay tribute to the late, great Ray Stevenson and his impactful portrayal of Baylan Skoll, while addressing the question of whether the role should be recast. In other Star Wars news, they bid farewell to an influential contributor to the modern era of Star Wars production.
