Star Wars: What Rosario Dawson Could Look Like as Ahsoka Tano


It was a fanboy dream-come-true when it was announced that Rosario Dawson was cast as the live-action Ahsoka Tano. We haven't had a look at her in costume yet, but some fans have already gone ahead to post up fanart of Dawson as Anakin's former Padawan.

This first one comes from BossLogic:

And this second one (which I actually prefer) is from artist John Burns:

While I don't doubt the skill that BL has with his fan-edits, I think that Burns' version is more accurate with the longer… head tentacles? Ahsoka should be pretty old by the time of The Mandalorian, so she should be closer to her appearance in Rebels rather than Clone Wars.

While there are some haters who think that voice actress Ashley Eckstein should have been cast as the live-action Ahsoka, I think Dawson looks the part the best. Besides, even if Eckstein provides the voice, that doesn't mean that she can pull off the character in live-action. Dawson has the experience, and if you looked at The Clone Wars, the face to pull off an older Ahsoka. Sorry, Ashley Eckstein.

Rumor has it that Dawson's appearance in Mando could lead to an Ahsoka series, but I'm fine with guest appearances for now. In the meantime, maybe she can make appearances in the upcoming Kenobi show or maybe the Andor series. I'm just spit-balling here.

We don't know exactly when Dawson will appear on the show, but The Mandalorian is expected to debut on Disney+ this coming October.
