Claudia Black Exits Ahsoka Season 2 Over Pay Tied to London Shoot

The actor says the offer would not cover single-parent costs in Los Angeles during overseas filming.

Overview

  • Black confirmed to Bleeding Cool that she "had to bow out" after Disney/Lucasfilm could not meet compensation and relocation needs for production in London.
  • She played Great Mother Klothow in season 1 and emailed thanks to showrunner Dave Filoni, calling the decision to leave very sad.
  • Lucasfilm has not announced whether Klothow will be recast or removed, leaving the character’s future unresolved.
  • Season 2 has finished filming in London and is in post-production without an official date, with a 2026 debut widely expected.
  • The new season includes other cast adjustments previously announced, such as Rory McCann taking over Baylan Skoll following Ray Stevenson’s death.
