Rosario Dawson (Daredevil, Sin City) has commented on recent reports that she's joined the cast of The Mandalorian Season 2 for the first time, and while she stops just short of fully confirming the news, it sounds like she's simply a little hesitant to jump the gun ahead of some kind of official announcement.

During an interview with Variety, Dawson joked that she "will just retire" and go into politics as along as she gets to be a part of her two favorite franchises, Star Trek and Star Wars. Of course, the possibility of her bringing life to Ahsoka in the galaxy far, far away was then brought up.

“That’s not confirmed yet but when that happens, I will be very happy. I’m very excited for that to be confirmed at some point,” she said, adding it would be “a million and one percent because of the fans.”

The trades were fairly confident that Dawson had signed on for a role in the live-action Star Wars series back when the news first broke, but they seemed less certain that she'll be playing Tano. is it possible that the Briarpatch star will bring life to a different character? We'll just have to wait and see.

As for the final frontier, Rosario says she'd "be happy to be a background Romulan or Vulcan," but seems to have her sights set on playing a female take on Q!

“I mean it would be great ‘cause then I could jump on ‘Discovery.’ I could be on ‘Picard.’ I just want to be with Jean-Luc Picard,” said the self-proclaimed Trekkie.

Well, production on season 2 of The Mandalorian has been finished for a while; So she's either just playing coy about her role as Ahsoka, or the trades were just spouting nonsense. I'm going to go with the former.

Translation- This is the worst kept secret. Somehow they kept baby Yoda under wraps, but since someone already blew the surprise, they might as well announce it.

I'm confused now. I thought it was a done deal the way I was reading stories and watching videos. This is fishy now. I hope they get a different actress

@steveb0024 - It is. Dawson is just acting coy because there’s been no official announcement. But I imagine that’s because they’re still trying to keep the surprise, even if a small portion of us have been spoiled.

I hope they never confirm or deny anything about the report. I would rather just watch it happen or not happen while watching the show.
