Disney+ Ahsoka (2023) (2 Viewers)

A new series for Ahsoka Tano is coming to Disney+.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Will it star Rosario Dawson?

 

[Wayne_j]

I'm 99% sure it will, I don't think Kathleen Kennedy mentioned her though.

The Star Wars Twitter feed confirmed that Dawson was playing Ahsoka.

Essentially her episode of The Mandalorian was like a backdoor pilot.

Yeah, I didn’t know whether they would go back in time with a younger Ashoka.

According to the Star Wars Twitter again, it's set during the timeframe of The Mandalorian (I assume that means after Return Of The Jedi rather than exactly taking place during The Mandalorian) so I think you'll see more of the lady that she fought in her episode.

 

[Sean Bryan]

Great to hear this officially announced! I’m only half way through season 2 of Clone Wars, but I love the character. Dawson’s portrayal in The Mandalorian was great, and I’m excited to see much more of her.

Mena Massoud is in talks to play Ezra Bridger in the live-action Ahsoka series:

REPORT: Star Wars Casts Aladdin's Mena Massoud as Live-Action Ezra Bridger

Mena Massoud, best known for 2019's Aladdin, has reportedly been cast in the role of Ezra Bridger for the Star Wars character's live-action debut.

Good, I liked him as Aladdin, and Ezra has that same charming dorkiness. He was also great as the little-brother terrorist in the first season of Jack Ryan.

 

[TravisR]

I'm curious when Ezra comes into this show's story. Based on the end of Rebels, it's kind of anticlimactic if he's there right from the beginning of Ahsoka and if it's later in the season, it's lame that it leaked out more than a year before the show will be on (and I'm not griping about this as a spoiler because I saw it about 900 other places already ).

I've seen one mention on a Star Wars fansite that Lars Mikkelsen is up for the role of Thrawn.

We already knew he was coming back for the Obi-Wan show, but Hayden Christensen is returning for Ahsoka as well.

Given the timeframe of this show I would assume in flashbacks.

Sure. Why not.

Not that it won’t be worth it in the end, but the wait time for these shows is brutal. They basically did a back door pilot with her appearance in Mandalorean, and then there’s a three year wait for, what, six or eight episodes? Yikes.

Right, some of us might not be around, oh well, that's life and death for you.

I was expecting there to be some announcements of new SW shows on Disney + Day and for the length of time it takes to make them, I was kinda glad they didn't announce anything. "Grogu: The Series coming in 2027!" "Season Four of The Mandalorian in 2031!" "Kylo Ren: The Teen Years coming in 2043!"

Some casting news, and word around town is that the show will start filming sooner than expected.
