Rosario Dawson Is Already Campaigning for Ahsoka Season 2; Talks About How the Character’s Traumas Have Shaped Her Into Who She Is Now

Speaking to Empire Magazine for their upcoming issue on Disney Plus' Ahsoka series, Rosario Dawson talked about her experience playing the character and how she relates to and understands her on a deep level despite having only played her for a few years of the character's existence.



Dawson described the character as follows:

She is obviously referencing a lot of moments from Ahsoka's past, portrayed in animation and voiced by Ashley Eckstein, but it seems like it's something she took with her when playing the character in live-action. The actress also talked about her responsibility in carrying on with the work Eckstein did and now bringing it to a larger audience:

The actress already hinted at Star Wars Celebration in April that a second season was certainly not out of the question, and a later story by The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that it was a matter of how the first one performed on Disney Plus. Speaking to Empire, Rosario Dawson has already started to campaign for a second season, much like she threw her hat in the ring a few years ago to play the character in live-action:

With the character being Filoni's baby, it's almost a foregone conclusion that she will have a key presence in the upcoming feature film that will culminate the events of the New Republic Era shows, and which Dave Filoni is directing.



The issue of Empire Magazine with all of this coverage on Ahsoka will come out on Thursday, June 8, and includes snippets from conversations with Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lars Mikkelsen, Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, and Diana Lee Inosanto. The series is currently targeting an August release date; we might find out which day exactly over the next few weeks.
