Movie site /Flim is running a story that one of my oldest celebrity crushes, Rosario Dawson, got cast as Star Wars: Clone Wars/Rebels character (and onetime Anakin Skywalker apprentice) Ahsoka Tano for the upcoming season of The Mandalorian. Here’s the skinny:
We have exclusively learned that Rosario Dawson will appear in The Mandalorian season 2 and are excited to report that she will be playing a fan-favorite character previously only seen in the Star Wars animated productions. Dawson will be playing a live-action version of Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s Jedi padawan apprentice who appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels. This would be the character’s first appearance in live-action. (source /Film)
Ok, so first off Disney/Lucasfilm have not released any official statement, but they haven’t released anything to deny it either. And some big news outlets (Deadline and Variety to name a few) are confirming the casting. So I’m leaning more on this being true. So is this good news for us Star Wars fans? Hell yeah! Rosario Dawson is a fantastic actress and Ahsoka is a fan-favorite. And the fact that she’ll be appearing in The Mandalorian season 2 is totally… freakin’… awesome. Can you imagine seeing an Ahsoka Tano lightsaber battle with a Darksaber-weilding Moff Gideon? Nerdgasm!
