    The idea of seeing Ahsoka pop up in a live action film has been growing on me more and more lately and I've started to think about actresses who could portray her. I love Ashley Eckstein but I don't think her acting chops are quite up to a blockbuster job and the character seems like she should be portrayed by someone with some non-white ethnicity to me. Two names jumped out at me:

    Sofia Boutella: She's shown her action chops in Kingsman and Star Trek Beyond (where she also rocked body paint playing an alien warrior). Her acting has seemed good,and I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing some more pure acting chops in the Mummy.

    Amber Midthunder: A rather unknown Native American actress who I think fits the look perfectly. Unfortunately I haven't seen her act in anything, but she has been cast in the upcoming Marvel series Legion so we'll get a chance to see her do her thing soon.

    Thoughts, comments, any other suggestions? Part of the fun of this little project is to give me some new stuff to watch as "research" so any ideas would be appreciated.

    At what point in Ashoka's life any movie would cover is going to be a factor to consider. Depending on that the casting would skew younger or older and the later really opens up the possibilities.

    To include to period covered in the Ahsoka novel? If it does then you have to follow the novel rather precisely to maintain continuity within canon. I like the novel but I'm not sure I'd want to see it's story in movie form.

    I agree, too much overlap with the book. I know they had a clone wars episode arc where she led a group against Maul that never got made, that could make the basis for a film. Also her time as a leader in the early rebellion or after the battle at Malachor would make sense to me. There's also the possibility that she pops up in a different movie, not necessarily an Ahsoka film.

    Well some details of that Maul story arc, including the climax, showed up in the novel as well.

    I think her showing up for a cameo or as a tertiary character are far more likely than an Ahsoka movie.
