Speculation Swirls Over Portman’s Possible Return in Ahsoka Season 2

LOS ANGELES, CA — Fans of the Star Wars franchise are buzzing about a potential return of Natalie Portman in the upcoming season 2 of Ahsoka, as new theories emerge surrounding the Mortis Gods.

Season 1 introduced themes suggesting these powerful deities may reappear. The Father, the Son, and the Daughter, central figures in the Star Wars mythology, represent the balance of the Force. With Baylan Skoll actively searching for them, some believe their return could also bring back Portman, who has not reprised her role since Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

While other prequel stars, such as Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor, have returned to the franchise, Portman’s absence is notable. However, some fans are theorizing that if she does return, it might be in a different role — specifically as Abeloth, a dark and complex character tied to the Mortis Gods.

Abeloth was once a mortal woman who transformed into a villain after seeking immortality. This conflict could provide a rich narrative thread, especially as it would open the door for deception, where Abeloth could manipulate Force Ghost Anakin Skywalker by impersonating Padmé.

“It’s an exciting direction that could create significant emotional depth,” a fan commented online. This theory has gained more traction following a statement from Star Wars director Bryce Dallas Howard that hints at unexpected romantic developments in season 2.

The lack of confirmed romantic plots in season 1 has led fans to speculate about potential relationships between characters, possibly including Anakin and Padmé, despite Padmé’s fate in the films.

Moreover, Portman’s expressed openness to returning to the franchise contributes to the excitement. Earlier this year, she mentioned, “Life’s only fun if you’re open to every possibility.” Many believe this could indeed pave the way for her comeback.

At this stage, these theories remain unfounded, but with the secrecy surrounding Star Wars productions, fans are holding onto hope that surprising revelations await in Ahsoka season 2.
