Disney's Star Wars spinoff series 'Ahsoka' has a pre-production budget about 30% lower than 'The Acolyte', a previous Star Wars show that faced controversy and poor audience reception. While 'The Acolyte' struggled with negative reviews and was canceled after one season despite a high critics' score, 'Ahsoka' has been more successful, with strong viewership and a second season underway. The lower costs for 'Ahsoka' season two, filmed in the UK under the company Robot Dog Pictures, reflect lessons learned from 'The Acolyte's' budget overruns. The new season's release has been postponed to early 2027, allowing Disney to manage costs carefully and aim for continued success.
