‘Ahsoka’ Reveals New Image; Rosario Dawson Calls Dave Filoni “One of the Greatest I’ve Ever Worked With”
Total Film Magazine has revealed a new picture from the upcoming Ahsoka series featuring Rosario Dawson as the title character speaking with Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Hera Syndulla via hologram. In addition, the publication also sat down with Dawson, who praised her collaboration with Dave Filoni and shared hopes that he can tell more Ahsoka stories in the future.
When asked if she would like to explore more of the character in the future, the actress replied: “I mean, I do, and I hope [Filoni] does.” She then added the following about Filoni:
“I really marvel at Dave’s journey, and I’m so happy for him and proud of him. I’ve loved him as a fan, and now, having had the chance to be on set with him daily and work with him, and pick his brain, and him being my own personal encyclopaedia for everything Star Wars and beyond – it’s just been a marvel.”
Dawson then continued to praise her time working with the writer-director-producer and shared hopes that she can do it again soon:
“I think he’s one of the greatest I’ve ever worked with in this medium and in this space. And I hope that he continues to bring Ahsoka along. Because he’s been very loyal to her over the years, and she to him. That’s not going away any time soon. So any kind of way and iteration that I can keep working with Dave, and being inspired by him, and challenging him when I can – it would be awesome.”
Filoni has been behind the character since it was created for the Clone Wars animated movie, later steering her journey through seven seasons of The Clone Wars, a small arc in Star Wars: Rebels, and eventually bringing her to live-action with Rosario Dawson. There are already indications that there could be another season of the show if it does well on Disney Plus, and she will probably be part of the upcoming culmination theatrical event that Filoni will be directing, which is likely to land in theaters in 2026.
Ahsoka premieres on Disney Plus on August 23.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
