The latter, <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/tv-show\/star-wars-maul-shadow-lord\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Maul \u2014 Shadow Lord<\/a>, returns <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/sam-witwer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam Witwer<\/a> to his longtime role as the legendary Sith Lord, and Disney was so sure that the show was going to be a hit that it was <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/star-wars-maul-shadow-lord-season-2-renewed-disney-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">renewed for Season 2<\/a> days before the premiere.

Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means \u2014 and what it will cost you.<\/p>\n<p>\n          \ud83d\udd35<br \/>\n          Jedi Master<\/p>\n<p>\n          \ud83d\udfe1<br \/>\n          Padawan<\/p>\n<p>\n          \ud83d\udd34<br \/>\n          Sith Lord<\/p>\n<p>\n          \u26ab<br \/>\n          Inquisitor<\/p>\n<p>\n          \u26aa<br \/>\n          Grey Jedi<\/p>\n<p class=\"cq-result-card-text\">Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands \u2014 and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cq-result-card-text\">You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential \u2014 and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn&#8217;t whether you have what it takes \u2014 it&#8217;s whether you&#8217;ll be patient enough to find out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cq-result-card-text\">You are not simply dangerous \u2014 you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side&#8217;s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cq-result-card-text\">You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology \u2014 it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cq-result-card-text\">You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction \u2014 you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don&#8217;t fully trust you. The Sith think you&#8217;re wasting your potential. They&#8217;re both partially right. But so are you.<\/p>\n<p>\n        \u21bb RETAKE THE QUIZ\n      <\/p>\n<p>                        Is Ahsoka in \u2018The Mandalorian and Grogu\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>After making her live-action debut in <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/the-mandalorian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Mandalorian<\/a> Season 2 episode, \u201cThe Jedi,\u201d Ahsoka Tano does not show up in The Mandalorian and Grogu to help Din Djarin or his little green friend. While the movie does feature some big stars like <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/sigourney-weaver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sigourney Weaver<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/martin-scorsese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Martin Scorsese<\/a>, it mostly steers away from the use of cameos, which some viewers found disappointing. For the first time in years, it\u2019s unclear when or if The Mandalorian or Grogu will be seen again, but considering the popularity of both characters, it would be surprising if Disney didn\u2019t have plans for them in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the first season of Ahsoka on Disney+ and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 2.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"480\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"0543801_poster_w780.jpg\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0543801_poster_w780.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0543801_poster_w780.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Release Date<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAugust 22, 2023<\/p>\n<p>                                            Network<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDisney+<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyplus.bn5x.net\/c\/2233363\/564546\/9358?subId1=UUclUeUpU0&amp;subId2=ecl&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fbrowse%2Fentity-e64c22fc-fc7c-4ada-bbec-ab8351b8db97&amp;ourl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fplay%2F52f59743-9477-4cbf-ab81-e70b843b7d07\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                                                                                                                                                                    <img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"disney-plus.jpg\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782201254_377_disney-plus.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782201254_377_disney-plus.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                                        <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rosario Dawson in AhsokaImage via Disney Plus Star Wars fans have had plenty of content to parse at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,411],"class_list":["post-506771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
