Fans of Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels will be happy to know that soon, they’ll be able to witness the character in live-action form on the second season of “The Mandalorian” on Disney+.
Ahsoka Tano, who started out as Anakin Skywalker’s padawan, will be played by Rosario Dawson. This would be the character’s first appearance in live-action. Until now, she has been predominantly voiced by Her Universe’s Ashley Eckstein.
It is still unknown how Ahsoka will fit in within the current Mandalorian storyline, but speculation points at a Sabine Wren tie-in due to the appearance of the Darksaber, and even a potential Star Wars: Rebels sequel.

Could have done better for a character who I hope is in more disappointed
Blech! Why are they trying to ruin a good show?
Ashley Eckstein would have been perfect for the role. I’ve seen her cosplay and she looked exactly like the animated character. I like Rosario, but she does not and will not look or sound the part. Sorry, Jon, but you screwed up on this one. It would have been a no-brainer to have Ashley Eckstein play Ahsoka and you wouldn’t have gotten a single complaint.
