Battlestar Galactica alum Katee Sackhoff has reportedly been cast as Bo-Katan in the second season of The Mandalorian.
According to /Film, Sackhoff, who voiced the Mandalorian warrior in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, multiple sources have confirmed Sackhoff will reprise her Bo-Katan role in the Disney+ series. The site also reports Sackhoff filmed her role back in February before the Hollywood shutdown due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
Bo-Katan Kryze debuted in the fourth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and guest-starred in eight episodes. The Mandalorian warrior was a member of Death Watch and second-in-command to Pre Vizsla. The Death Watch leader was killed by Darth Maul when the two battled for the leadership of Mandalore. Bo-Katan didn't agree with an outsider being the new Mandalore ruler, and set off to bring his reign to an end. This led Bo-Katan to turn to Ahsoka Tano, who led Captain Rex and a battalion of clone troopers during the Siege of Mandalore. Bo-Katan later returned in Star Wars Rebels for two episodes.
Season 2 of The Mandalorian has added stars such as Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett.
Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers and Giancarlo Esposito. Season 1 is available now on Disney+, with Season 2 premiering in October.
