Lucasfilm boss Dave Filoni confirms the Mortis Gods from The Clone Wars are involved in the plot of Ahsoka Season 2. The new season which drops January 20, has been a long time coming and fans have speculated Season 1 was hinting at the Mortis Gods being relevant to the plot.
Speaking with Empire Filoni says of the Mortis Gods, “it’s definitely a thing” in Ahsoka Season 2.
“What we’re dealing with is: are you going to believe in this, or not? And what is the danger if it’s real? And how are you going to prioritise your goals here?” teases Filoni. “What would a Jedi do, versus what would a regular person do? Those things come up through the course of the season.”

‘While Filoni promises fans don’t need to watch The Clone Wars episodes first, the arrival of Mortis into Ahsoka marks another major instance of a Force concept from the animated series entering live-action, after Season 1 saw Ahsoka enter the World Between Worlds (first seen in Rebels).’
“It’s a challenge, I can tell you,” Filoni says of translating such heady concepts. “It was so surprising when George [Lucas] created these archetype god characters. What were we examining there in Clone Wars? What was the metaphor? A lot of it is about power, and what you do with power, and how you wield power. For a Jedi, I think it’s a natural story path to get into these questions.”
As for what all that means for the ongoing, who knows? Well, Filoni knows, but we don’t. I’ve said many times I was not much of a fan of Ahsoka Season 1. Still, I’ll be giving this a shot come January for sure.
What do you think of Filoni’s comments? Thoughts below as always.
