There was a whole lot of surprise for Star Wars fans when word came out that Disney had decided to cast Marvel Netflix star Rosario Dawson as the live-action version of Ahsoka Tano in the second season of Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
Star Wars fans weren't expecting that much news the past few weeks. The novel coronavirus pandemic has had such a major effect on the entertainment industry. Not only has the production of films and television series like Falcon and the Winter Soldier have been shut down, but the release of major blockbusters like Mulan, No Time to Die, New Mutants, and Black Widow have all been delayed.
Despite the bleakness of the industry, it seems like Lucasfilm afforded the opportunity to give everyone a pleasant little surprise when it announced its decision to cast Dawson as Ahsoka Tano.
There's been a lot of talk about Ahsoka the past few days thanks to the character's return in The Clone Wars. Now, it looks like Ahsoka Tano is in full hype now that she's set to appear in the second season of The Mandalorian.
Taking to Twitter, fans are downright pumped to see Dawson play Ahsoka in the second season of Jon Favreau's phenomenally successful live-action Star Wars series.
Check out some of the posts down here:
Fans aren't the only ones excited to see Dawson as Ahsoka. Star Wars Rebels didn't really complete Ahsoka's journey and now we're excited to hear that we'll get to know how just her journey continues in The Mandalorian.
Dawson seems perfect for the role too. Though she didn't take on a major role in shows like Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones, the actress has had some experience in action roles. She'd make the perfect Ahsoka with her experience and with her high cheekbones.
