Claudia Black, who played the Nightsister Klothow in the first season of the live-action Star Wars series Ahsoka, will not return for the show’s second season. Black, known for her work on Stargate SG-1 and Farscape, explained that she could not accept the role again because the pay offered did not meet her needs as a single mother living in Los Angeles, especially since filming takes place in London.

Black shared that her compensation for the role was much lower than many might expect, stating it was similar to what she earned early in her career. She highlighted that pay issues like this can have a greater impact on women, particularly those raising children on their own. “The issue I have is when that comes to women, other people who were able to say yes to this job didn’t have the same responsibilities, and that thinking is not designed around how much invisible work women do in a household,” Black said.

Despite the opportunity to be part of a major franchise, Black chose not to return unless she received what she considered fair pay. She emphasized that her decision was not due to poor treatment on set, but rather a need for the industry to consider the realities faced by working mothers. Black also reached out to Dave Filoni, Chief Creative Officer at Lucasfilm and head of Ahsoka, to explain her decision and express gratitude for her experience on the show.

While plot details for Ahsoka season 2 remain mostly undisclosed, it is confirmed that Rosario Dawson will return as Ahsoka Tano, and Grand Admiral Thrawn will play a major role. The new season is set to premiere in 2026 on Disney+.
