Disney+ Ahsoka Star Wars Series

[Bespin refugee]

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.

Deadline reports Natasha Liu Bordizzo (The Society) has been cast as a lead opposite Rosario Dawson in the Disney+ limited series Star Wars: AhsokaI; she is believed to be playing Sabine Wren from the animated series, Star Wars Rebels Reps from Lucasfilm and Bordizzo did not return emails seeking comment.

Dawson stars as Ahsoka Tano in the limited series after making the Star Wars: Clone Wars and Rebels character’s live-action debut in The Mandalorian. The offshoot, written by Dave Filoni and executive produced by Filoni and Jon Favreau, will continue Ahsoka’s story.

Shown at D23 via IGN is a new still image for the upcoming Disney+ Ashoka series which looks like sees things pick up where the Rebels series left off.

 

[Belmont13]

I like the Ahsoka character but didn't much cared for Rebels so I'm 50/50 on this series.

The latest rumor has another animated character making the jump to live-action, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) said to be cast as Star Wars: Rebels' Hera Syndulla for the upcoming Ahsoka series on Disney+. At this point, it has yet to be officially confirmed, though. Stay tuned for updates....

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.

[memocromatico]

I love MEW... but isn't she too tall to be Hera? I thought she'd be cast as someone else/someone new... let's see where this goes.

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)

It was announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe today that the new Dave Filoni Disney+ Ahsoka live-action series which stars Rosario Dawson will premier on Disney+ this August. We also got our first look at the live-action version of Sabine Wren who is being played by actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Hera who is being played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

See the new teaser trailer for the series below:

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.

Deadline reports Wes Chatham (‘The Expanse’, ‘Hunger Games’) has been added to the cast for the upcoming Disney+ Ahsoka series. Sources say Chatham has been cast as 'the right-hand man to Lars Mikkelsen’s Admiral Thrawn'

We got our first look at the series last week with the teaser trailer reveal

I can't wait tosee this series, as well as what we'll get for the black series from it. I feel they should've changed up Asohka's looka little though for Hasbros sake.
