Rosario Dawson Confirms She Is Playing Ahsoka Tano — Kinda

As it says in the title, Rosario Dawson confirms she is playing Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian Season 2, kinda. Read on for more details.

The rumor that Rosario Dawson was set to play a live-action version of Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian Season 2 was the biggest Star Wars news to hit in the last few weeks. This rumor was quickly backed up by most of the big trades, but since then, nothing official. It therefore seemed like only a matter of time before Dawson’s casting was announced and Ahsoka was confirmed for live-action.

Now Dawson has kind of confirmed the reports, though even she says it isn’t official yet. The actress spoke to Variety and here is what she said about Ahsoka Tano.

“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 to the outlet.

She went on to say it would be “a million and one percent because of the fans.”

That’s a pretty strange statement. Dawson is either saying that the approach has been made by Lucasfilm, but it’s not signed off yet? Or, Dawson IS playing Ahsoka, but just isn’t supposed to talk about it yet? Either way Dawson’s comments give us some insight into how this process is going. Is Dawson playing Ahsoka in The Mandalorian? It certainly appears to be the case. So, Rosario Dawson confirms she is playing Ahsoka Tano, but, now you can see why I added in the ‘kinda’.

As far as rumor goes, it may not just be a one-off appearance in The Mandalorian for Dawson. The rumor is that Dawson’s portrayal in El Mando will spin-off into her own lead series.  Lucasfilm has big plans for Ahsoka Tano, and that means Rosario Dawson is about to become a big part of Star Wars.
