Marvel Netflix star Rosario Dawson has finally weighed in on rumors that she will play fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian Season 2.
"That's not confirmed yet but when that happens, I will be very happy," Dawson told Variety. "I'm very excited for that to be confirmed at some point." She added that this casting would be "a million and one percent because of the fans."
Notably, Disney has not yet confirmed Dawson will play Ahsoka in live-action. However, these latest comments by Dawson are encouraging for fans who would like to see her take on Tano.
Ahsoka plays a central role in Disney+'s Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is in the midst of its seventh and final season. She is voiced by Ashley Eckstein in the animated series. Ahsoka was introduced as Anakin Skywalker's padawan. They eventually become very close -- so much so that she eventually recognized his relationship with Padme and kept that secret for him. She left the Jedi Order prior to Order 66, which allowed her to survive the ensuing massacre.
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 currently set for release this fall.
