Despite a rocky start, it took no time at all for Ahsoka Tano to become one of the Star Wars franchise's most beloved characters. Her live-action debut in The Mandalorian was celebrated by fans, with Rosario Dawson taking over the role from Ashley Eckstein in the series. Despite that, the latter continues to lend her voice to the hero in any and all animated projects.
Dawson later reprised the role - alongside Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker - in The Book of Boba Fett, and will soon take centre stage in her own spin-off series Ahsoka.
There's a huge amount of excitement for the show, and Making Star Wars (via SFFGazette.com) has now shared some new intel. The site explains that we'll see Ahsoka Tano across multiple eras, primarily thanks to her visiting The World Between Worlds again. There, she will be able to revisit key moments from her life, including her younger years in The Clone Wars.
We'll see Ahsoka in her teens, another currently undisclosed era, and the version who showed up at the end of Star Wars Rebels in the white robes.
The latter is likely to be played by Dawson, of course, though another actress has been cast as the younger Ahsoka who isn't played by her or Eckstein. The site goes on to speculate that the latter could lend her voice to whoever this mystery performer is, creating a link between the animated and live-action versions of the character.
This all sounds like a really fun way to familiarise Star Wars fans who perhaps haven't watched The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. It's become clear Ahsoka is vitally important to the franchise in future, and we're sure this spin-off series won't be the last time we see the former Jedi in action.
A lot of details are starting to find their way online about Lucasfilm's plans for the series, and you find some exciting new rumours about Darth Vader's return by clicking here.
Ahsoka is set to premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2023.
