Bryce Dallas Howard: The Clone Wars Fans Will Be 'Greatly Rewarded' by the Ahsoka Series

Bryce Dallas Howard recently co-hosted an event with the chocolate company Lindt. After that, a writer for Romper, together with her son, had the chance to speak with Howard about Star Wars and The Mandalorian, with the actress-turned-director teasing the upcoming Ahsoka series as well.



When asked how she first got into Star Wars, she explained that her dad, legendary filmmaker Ron Howard, was of course good friends with George Lucas. And since he was really close with their family, they would be getting Star Wars figurines every Christmas. She eventually saw the movies and made an unlikely friendship at a summer camp.

The conversation then shifted towards The Mandalorian, and after Dave Filoni's name was brought up, the writer's son said how much he loved The Clone Wars, to which Bryce Dallas Howard replied:

We've speculated before about some possible ties Ahsoka will have to The Clone Wars, and Hayden Christensen will be back for the series, hopefully carrying over Ahsoka's and Anakin's arc from the animated series. Other than that, as far as we know, most of the connections that Ahsoka will have to Star Wars animation will be to Rebels (from Sabine Wren to the overall plot of seeking Grand Admiral Thrawn to find Ezra).







At this point, we don't know Howard's involvement with Ahsoka, which is set to start principal photography very soon. But since she's directed an episode of every season from The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and she is coming back for season 3 of the former, there is a good chance she is involved with Ahsoka as well. Moreover, even though Dave Filoni wrote the series, we know he won't be directing all of it, as they have hired Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse director Peter Ramsey to helm at least one episode.



Howard then went on to describe how Din Djarin is able to heal so quickly after being shot multiple times without suffering any damage. As she explained it, this is because he uses bacta spray:

She was then asked one last question, something that has been going through many people's minds for a long time: why are there no handrails in Star Wars? And to that, she gave the most intriguing answer:

Will we find out why there are no handrails, all of these years later? We'll have to wait until later this year to see when The Mandalorian makes its return with season 3. Dallas Howard directed at least an episode of the new season.
