Rosario Dawson talks about Ahsoka Tano's future in Star Wars. The actress brought the fan-favorite Togruta to live-action in The Mandalorian season 2 after primarily existing in the animated pocket of the franchise. Now, she is set to headline her own series on Disney+, spearheaded by Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau.
Originally introduced in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated feature film which was set after Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones, Ahsoka continued her story in The Clone Wars series and Star Wars Rebels, where she's revealed to be one of the Rebellion's anonymous informants using the codename Fulcrum.
“[I was cast] not just because I’m the right age, not just because I had the right look for it, but [because] I’m known for being incredibly committed. That offer, they knew, could resonate with someone like me. I’m in this industry for the long haul. I’m in for this type of storytelling that matters. [...] As long as they want me, and as long as it’s possible, I’m in it.”
After the events of Star Wars Rebels, Ahsoka went on a mission to locate Ezra with Sabine Wren. However, by the time she makes her debut in The Mandalorian, she is no longer with the Mandalorian member of the Ghost crew, raising questions as to what happened to her. It's likely that this question will be answered in the upcoming Ahsoka Disney+ series.
Lucasfilm veering away from the Skywalker Saga and developing projects set in the past instead of continuing the sequels' stories allows them to further delve into Ahsoka Tano's arc. Her missions don't even need to have massive galactic repercussions; instead, they could be smaller stories that focus on the character. Either way, Ahsoka will be a great way to diversify Star Wars' storytelling without totally severing ties with the Skywalkers.
good so far she is great. sometimes the fans know exactly how to cast a character better than some 'expert' casting people. if this was left up to kathleen kennedys team (not named favreau or filoni) they would have messed it up
