Rosario Dawson has confirmed the obvious: she wants to return as Ahsoka Tano after portraying the character for her live-action debut in The Mandalorian season 2 episode, “The Jedi.”
“I mean, I would love that opportunity [to play Ahsoka Tano again],” Dawson told StarWars.com.
“I think it’s so cool that this show exists. I think it’s so cool that I got to show up and give information about this character, the Child, that everyone’s loved so much. You know, that she was not so much showing up as a cameo, but really being a storytelling device for new fans that have fallen in love with yet another new character that we’re getting to see grow.”
It's highly likely that Ahsoka Tano will re-appear in some form in a galaxy far, far away. For now, though, The Mandalorian season 2, episode 5 appears to be a one-off appearance for the character. We were holding out hope for her to return this year alongside Mando (and Grogu), but the reference to “cameo” is either very telling – or deliberately putting us off the scent entirely.
““There was one point, actually, where Dave [Filoni] was curious whether I should wear the contacts or not… I was like, ‘You can’t do this to me. I can’t not have blue eyes. That will just not be okay.’ And it really made all the difference.”
