Comments by Marc Bernardin during an episode of the Fatman Beyond podcast suggest Rosario Dawson may be back to work on Star Wars, returning as Ahsoka Tano, this December.
The filmmaker mentioned wanting to have Dawson appear in a short film he’s making in December, saying that she’d be in the area anyway since she’s filming Star Wars on Manhattan Beach.
That seems to suggest Dawson’s Star Wars return is rolling before fans expected. While the logical jump is to assume this is for Ahsoka, it is possible that Dawson could have signed on for another appearance in The Mandalorian, which began filming its third season this month.
The Ahsoka series takes place in the same post-Return of the Jedi era as The Mandalorian. Hayden Christensen will appear in the series as Ahsoka’s Jedi master, Anakin Skywalker. Rumors also suggest that Bo-Katan Kryze, Thrawn, and characters from Star Wars Rebels will appear in the live-action series. “Ahsoka Tano is on the hunt for the evil Grand Admiral Thrawn in the hope it will help her locate the missing Ezra Bridger, the young Jedi that disappeared with Thrawn many years ago,” one reported synopsis reads.
