Discussing the new Disney+ Marvel's What If...? animated series, The Hollywood Reporter cites examples of characters who originated in animation, such as Harley Quinn and Ahsoka Tano, adding...

" Now, [Rosario] Dawson is leading a live-action Ahsoka spinoff for Disney+, with sources saying Lucasfilm is looking for an actress to star opposite Dawson as Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren.

Sabine should be around 30 or so around the time The Mandalorian and the Ahsoka show take place. Aparna Brielle from AP BIO is 27. I'd like to see her in the role.  Or....they could fudge the whole 30 thing in the other direction some and just cast Tiya Sircar, the actress who voiced Sabine on Rebels and played Vicki in The Good Place, in the role.

Why wouldn't they just get the original actress? I thought she already played her in the Squadrons video game. Hera is one of my favorite Star Wars characters so I am excited to see her in live action. I don't have any problem with her playing the character as long as it's done well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I’m excited to see her too, but yeah I agree it’s kinda weird. It’s almost like she’s there just because of Ewen (no disrespect to her)

Yesterday at the Celebration Europe convention we got our first glimpse at the live-action version of Grand Admiral Thrawn in the Disney+ Ahsoka series that will be premiering in August. Thrawn was first introduced to Star Wars fans back in 1991 in the classic Timothy Zahn Heir To The Empire novels. While those where not considered "Official" Star Wars cannon, Dave Filoni brought Thrawn into official Star Wars cannon by introducing him in his Rebels animated series which was the last time we saw the character in official Star Wars lore. Much of the Ahsoka series appears to be focusing on the characters from that Rebels series and is expected to tie up many of the loose ends that remained unresolved at the end of that series. Today we have learned that the live-action version of Thrawn will be played by actor Lars Mikkelsen who has appeared in shows such as the recent Netflix The Witcher series.
