There isn't much to the story yet but IGN is pretty legit when it comes to things like this.

It's going to be weird hearing a different voice but I guess she would look like her with the costume and makeup. Definitely a big actress to get for this.

Ahsoka's still one of the most underrated SW characters.

quote:

SlashFilm confirmed the news from two independent sources, who both confirmed Dawson will play the Togruta that was once a member of the Jedi Order and the padawan of Anakin Skywalker.


quote:

This is hardly a surprise casting, as back in 2017, Dawson responded to a fan asking her to appear in a Star Wars movie as Ahsoka by saying "Ummmm... yes please?! #AhsokaLives #AhsokaTano #StarWars."

More recently, Dawson quote tweeted another fan who posted an image of her and Ahsoka side-by-side, saying "Just for reference Ahsoka Tano would be in her early-mid 40s during #TheMandalorian." Dawson responded by saying "Tell 'em! #AhsokaLives."

No one has confirmed it yet though. Supposedly still just a rumor.

Really disliked her early in Clone Wars, but she became one of my favorite characters. Her fight with Vader is probably the best moment in Rebels.

Rosario is a great casting, but the voice change will take some getting used to

The voice change will make sense, considering she is supposed to be mid-40s by the Mandalorian series. I wonder if the last Rebels storyline (searching for Ezra) is introduced . . .

I guess that leaves Sasha Banks as Sabine Wren.

Do we get a reemergence of Ezra Bridger at some point in the Mandalorian?

Ashley Eckstein voices late-30s Ashoka in Rebels, which ends less than 5 years before Mandalorian.

Don't be surprised if this casting gets cancelled. There is an uprising of trans-supporters because Rosario allegedly assaulted a trans "man" last year.

I'm actually OK with that possibility. (Dawson not being cast as Ahsoka, not the reason)

Ahsoka Tano = Ashley Eckstein

Saw that on Twitter.

There are no trans "men/women", merely profoundly mentally ill individuals who insist on others to share their delusions.

Same for that "deadnaming" horse shite. Just because someone is passionate about something, that doesn't make it a thing.

Bunch of science deniers...

Voice acting is a much different beast than live acting. Just provide the best actress. Dawson is excellent. And she hot AF.

Still beautiful to me.



Can't get the instagram picture to share over the phone. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

The term is called "Gender Dysmorphia".

Yeah Rosario has always been a butterface. But they can always modify the voice and she’ll be in heavy make up anyways.
