WWE superstar Sasha Bank's appearance in The Mandalorian Season 2 was well-received by fans of the Star Wars spinoff show and although she only appeared as a supporting character, she was impressive on the show. The current WWE SmackDown Women's Champion is still gushing over her experience following her successful stint in Chapter 11: "The Heiress" and rightfully so.
In a new interview with ComicBook.com, Banks (credited in the show under her real name Mercedes Varnado) opened up about the possibility of her returning to the show. She revealed that Koska Reeves was only supposed to be a one-off character and as far as she's concerned, she was only contracted to star in Chapter 11. "Well, I can only hope that the fans get to know more, I'm only in this episode. It's awesome but we can only hope for more stuff. So, if I can pray and manifest anything, I just hope myself and Katee [Sackhoff], Bo-Katan, can hopefully get the Darksaber one day. But we'll have to see, I don't know."
Talking about the lovable and sometimes controversial The Child aka Baby Yoda, Banks said that the Force-wielding creature is without a doubt the star of the series. "If you're saying he's a hungry diva then maybe he's a diva on set as well because he is the center of attention because he is just so, so, so cute."
She added: "Everybody, everyone, I'm talking about everybody, always ran up to him, had to look at him, had to see him because it was just so surreal that something could be and look so real. Because it moves, it has facial expressions, it went, ‘Ah!' and it had teeth! Its cheeks moved! It's just, I don't know how they did it, it just looks so surreal. So he was the center of attention, and of course, why not? He's Baby Yoda, he's the Child, he's so legendary."
Although it's sad that we may not get to see her return to the show anytime soon, it's safe to assume that Banks will eventually make her way back to the Star Wars Universe. You have to admit that Sasha was able to realize her dreams.
That said, a new episode of The Mandalorian Season 2 hits Disney+ this Friday.
