Rosario Dawson Heads to ‘The Mandalorian’ as Fan Favorite Ahsoka Tano

By

Sure, we’re all stuck inside because of the coronavirus, but have no fear! Our Disney overlords are here to bring us good news so we don’t fall into the pits of despair. Namely, that everyone’s favorite Jedi from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano, will be making a live-action appearance in The Mandalorian. And we even have an actress lined up for the role: Rosario Dawson.

According to SlashFilm, the former Jedi apprentice will make her appearance in the show’s second season, though we don’t yet know how or why. It makes sense for Ahsoka to make an appearance on the Disney+ show; Dave Filoni co-created Ahsoka and is also a writer, producer, and director for The Mandalorian. Whether her appearance means that other fan favorites like Thrawn are also on the way, it will be cool to see Ahsoka in live-action, since the character has only ever been animated.

The Mandalorian Season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ sometime in October 2020.

A reporter by trade, Sara is a lover of horror, sci-fi, and all things pop culture. From indies to classics to even the strangest schlock, all movies and TV shows are fair game. She believes Batman is the most fascinating superhero, and that Silent Hill is one of the best horror franchises ever made (as long as you don't count the movies). Fun Fact: The only movie Sara will not rewatch is The Room -- once was more than enough.
