UPDATE: The news is now being confirmed by multiple sources, so it looks like this is happening.
While I would keep this in the rumor pile until we get additional confirmation,
/Flim is reporting that actress
Rosario Dawson (Daredevil) will be taking up the role of
Jedi Ahsoka Tano in the second season of the
Disney+ Mandalorian series. Up until now Ahsoka is a character that has only appeared in animated form. The character was originally created for the Clone Wars animated series to be Anakin's Padawan. We have seen the fan-favorite character grow over the years and survive the great Jedi purge after the events depicted in Revenge of the Sith. An older version of the character was last seen in the Star Wars Rebels animated series which took place right before A New Hope.

This time lapse clip would be a lot more interesting if the "transformation" weren't almost done at the beginning of it.
Rosario Dawson's appearance as Ahsoka Tano was one of the highlights of this past season ofThe Mandalorian, and now, the actress shares this time-lapse clip of her transformation
Id like a new serie with ahsoka and Sabine finding Ezra...
I didnt think we would ever she Ashoka in live action but love the casting choice. Will be interested to see how a trained Jedi will interact with the child and Mandos take on a trained force user. Just the story options is intriguing to me
Filoni sure loves including her in everything, doesn't he? Not a fan of her but no doubt many fans (especially of TCW) will love this inclusion. It'll be interesting to see how she translates to live action though.

Not a big Ahsoka fan (she's okay), but I really like Rosario Dawson a lot. She's great in everything, so I am kind of excited about this.
