Ahsoka is officially halfway finished. The series has turned quite a few heads and raised many questions for fans. While we’re all busy speculating and theorizing on what could happen in the series’ second half, Disney+ isn’t the only destination in which your favorite Ahsoka characters are popping up.
A few weeks ago, Ahsoka Tano was spotted in Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge, an immersive Star Wars experience featuring multiple theme park rides. In hopes of promoting the show, the Ahsoka look-alike was there to take pictures and interact with fans. Now halfway through the series, Ahsoka is no longer the only one making the trip to Galaxy’s Edge.
Both Hera Syndulla and Chopper have been spotted within the last 24 hours at Galaxy’s Edge. The duo is now the second and third to appear at the highly acclaimed Star Wars theme park. This news came to us via the official Star Wars Twitter page.
Transmission received: Hera Syndulla makes her debut in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge® at @Disneyland Resort starting today, for a limited-time.

Given the timing, there’s no doubt that Hera and Chopper’s presence is a way for Disney to promote the second half of the series. Disney could also have placed these two in Galaxy’s Edge mainly to get the more casual fans acquainted with the specific characters. While both characters are currently getting their respective spotlight in Ahsoka, there are a lot of casual watchers who never bothered watching Star Wars Rebels. While people are stuck in suspense from last week’s massive cliffhanger, it’s certainly an added bonus to see fan-favorite characters walking around and interacting with people.
Now that three characters have appeared, there’s no telling who may join in on the fun. Sabine Wren, Jaycen Syndulla, and Huyang are all possible contenders regarding who will appear next. It all depends on what Disney wants to do and which characters they want to showcase. It’s also worth mentioning that while Disneyland has had characters from Ahsoka passing through, Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge in Florida has reportedly not. There’s always a possibility that Disney may also send somebody there to promote the series as well.
