Katee Sackhoff Bets on an Ahsoka and Bo-Katan Reunion, Discusses Bo-Katan’s Possible Outlook on Sabine, Thrawn, and More

More information continues to trickle out from Katee Sackhoff's exclusive interview with The Direct, and while there's nothing groundbreaking, Sackhoff does emphasize some personal confidence in a live-action reunion with Ahsoka. Despite the fact that it was Bo-Katan who facilitated the introduction of Ahsoka into live-action in The Mandalorian season 2, we've never actually seen the two characters on screen together in live-action. In fact, the last time we saw them together was in The Clone Wars season 7, Ahsoka loading Maul onto her Venator and heading straight into Order 66. However, they have presumably kept in touch given that Bo-Katan knew Ahsoka was on Corvus during The Mandalorian. When asked if she thought the characters would reunite in live-action, Sackhoff responded:

Given how much history the two characters have, I can't help but agree with her. And who knows, this reunion may not happen until Filoni's New Republic Era film, but I think we can feel certain it will happen (despite Sackhoff's enthusiastic attempts at hedging her answer.) And speaking of reunions, she was also asked how she thought Bo-Katan would feel about Sabine becoming a Jedi. Sackhoff commented:

I'm not convinced that Sackhoff is fully channeling the opinion of Bo-Katan here. The Kryze Clan have a rather loaded history with the Jedi that is ultimately net positive, but still...there's plenty of water under the bridge. I believe that Bo-Katan has undergone a lot of character development trending towards tolerance in the past few years, and yet it might still make for an eyebrows-raised reaction upon hearing Sabine's news.







Finally, when asked about how she envisions Bo-Katan being of use against Thrawn, Sackhoff answered:

(L-R): Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) in Lucasfilm’s THE MANDALORIAN, season 3, exclusively on Disney+. ©2023 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved.



Useful, indeed! Color me gobsmacked if we don't see Bo-Katan in a critical role in the fight against Thrawn. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a reverse of what we saw in the The Clone Wars season 7 with Ahsoka coming to Bo-Katan for aid. Moreover, Sabine still needs closure after the sacking of Mandalore and what she views as a failure on her part to support her people, and I bet Bo-Katan will be involved in that healing process, as well. For now, we'll have to wait and see. The Mandalorian season 4 production is just kicking into gear again post-strike and season 2 of Ahsoka hasn't even officially been greenlit yet.
