The biggest piece of Star Wars news in a long time dropped last week when it was revealed that Rosario Dawson had been cast to play a significant role in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, Ahsoka Tano.
The casting of Rosario Dawson would be a huge piece of news regardless of what character she was playing, but many fans are flipping out because Ahsoda Tano is actually one of Star Wars’ most popular characters.
If you’re only familiar with Star Wars through the live-action films and television, then you may not be all that familiar Ahsoka, as she debuted in the animated The Clone Wars movie, but she’s had one of the more interesting journeys of anybody in the galaxy far, far, away not named Skywalker.
