Although Star Wars‘ newest map is impressive, Ahsoka season 2 may very well push the boundaries even further. Since 1977, the Star Wars galaxy has continued to expand with new worlds and locations to be explored. However, we recently ventured beyond the known galaxy, and I think we’ll continue to do so in the future.
In Ahsoka’s first season, the series only spent half its time in the known galaxy. The other half took place extragalactically on a distant world where both Grand Admiral Thrawn and Jedi Knight Ezra Bridger had been exiled for nearly a decade. Keeping that in mind as we head into Ahsoka season 2, I think we’re going to need a bigger Star Wars map soon.
Star Wars’ New Galaxy Map Is Awesome
A Full Look At The Galaxy Far, Far Away
Lucasfilm recently restored its old cartography page on StarWars.com with a brand-new galaxy map. Updated to feature some of the newest planets and worlds seen in shows like The Mandalorian and even last year’s Skeleton Crew, it’s a lot of fun to discover where exactly your favorite planets are located in relation to everything else. Major hyperspace lanes are also featured, as well as unique regions like “Hutt Space” and the Corporate Sector.

Star Wars Celebration has released an epic concept art trailer for Ahsoka season 2, confirming plot details and returning “heroes across galaxies”.
Featuring hundreds of planets that have been introduced over the last 48 years, the entire map is gridded out with letters and numbers. This makes it easier to locate certain worlds using an attached map of all the planets that exist in the known Star Wars galaxy. However, one key Star Wars planet is understandably missing from this brand-new map of the galaxy far, far away.
One Key Planet Is Still Missing: Peridea
From 2023’s Ahsoka Series
Having been introduced in 2023’s Ahsoka, the planet Peridea is nowhere to be found on Lucasfilm’s new Star Wars map. This makes sense, as Ahsoka season 1 confirmed that it’s located in an entirely new galaxy. Therefore, it wouldn’t be featured on the typical Star Wars map, updated or otherwise, and should instead be featured as part of an entirely new galaxy apart from the one we’re familiar with.
The ancient world Thrawn and Ezra were taken to by a pod of intergalactic purrgil during the Battle of Lothal, Peridea is the original homeworld of the Dathomiri Nightsisters. By the end of Ahsoka season 1, Thrawn’s forces make it back to the known galaxy. Ezra Bridger makes it back as well, having secretly stowed away aboard The Chimaera, Thrawn’s Star Destroyer.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren are now the ones stranded on Peridea, along with Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. The finale also revealed the planet’s apparent connection to the Mortis gods. In the first season, Baylan was called by a mysterious source of power, which led him to the massive Mortis gods statues, so Ahsoka season 2 will hopefully reveal what it all means.
We May Need A New Map After Ahsoka Season 2
Will We See More Of This “Other” Galaxy?
It’s certainly possible that Peridea is just the beginning. After all, it’s highly doubtful that it’s the only livable planet in this brand-new Star Wars galaxy. We already know that Ahsoka season 2 will see part of its story continuing in the main galaxy, especially now that Grand Admiral Thrawn has returned as a major threat to the New Republic.
However, we also know that the other half will continue Ahsoka, Sabine, Baylan, and Shin’s story on Peridea, though perhaps beyond as well. Personally, I’d love it if Ahsoka season 2 expanded to more worlds and planets, taking advantage of the exciting opportunity that is a brand-new galaxy to be explored. It’d be awesome to eventually need to justify the creation of a second Star Wars galaxy map.
Ahsoka season 2 is set to release in 2026 on Disney+
