Natasha Liu Bordizzo is live-action Sabine. https://www.darkhorizons.com/bordizzo-is-sabine-wren-in-ahsoka/ It's pretty much going to be a "Rebels" sequel with all the surviving characters coming back. Also, Babu Frik, and Hayden Christenson...somehow...probably flashbacks.
Eman Esfandi is live-action Ezra. https://www.darkhorizons.com/star-wars-ahsoka-sets-its-ezra-bridger/
He’s going to have to do something with that hair. Luke in Episodes IV and V had shaggy boyish hair, then Episode VI it’s all neat and slicked down presumably 80s movies way of saying “now he’s serious”. Rebels did the same with Ezra. Seasons 1-3 head shaggy boyish hair. Season 4 he’s leading missions and his hair is neat slicked down. The photo I saw of Eman yesterday, he had the shaggy boyish hair.
I always thought it was a nice bit of info that Ezra was born pretty much the same day as L&L. Like, he's a chosen one as well, but in a different department
I think this is the one I’m looking forward to the most. Ashoka and Ezra are probably my two favorite characters.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is live-action Hera. https://www.darkhorizons.com/winstead-is-hera-in-star-wars-ahsoka/
Ivanna Sakhno is Shin, a former Nightsister. To those who didn't watch the cartoons, or read the books, Nightsisters are darkside witches from the planet of Dathomir where Darth Maul is from. Women rule Dathomir, so probably why Maul ran away from home. A former Nightsister is what Asaaj Vantress was. So, Shin might be an Asaaj replacement. Shin is an apprentice of Baylon, a dark Jedi, who is allied to Admiral Thrawn. So...sounds like they're stand-ins for C'Baoth and Mara from the books.

Lars Mikkelsen is denying being Thrawn, but Disney also made the Spider-Men, Patrick Stewart, and Tatiana Maslany flat out lie, so there's no way of knowing. Until April, when the Ahsoka trailer drops. https://www.darkhorizons.com/mikkelsen-on-thrawn-in-ahsoka-casting/
I am putting my faith in the goddess Rosario Dawson to not be a party to fucking up the best character to come out of Clone Wars.
I like her portrayal so far. Kinda wish she still had some of Ashoka’s levity, but ..after what she’s been through …. anyway, I also, don’t believe she willl fuck it up.
I wonder if they bring back Hayden Christensen back as Anakin's force ghost. I also wonder if Boba Fett and Rex meet and they do the Spider-Man pointing meme.
Lars Mikkelsen is live-action Thrawn. We all pretty much predicted this. https://www.darkhorizons.com/star-wars-ahsoka-thrawn-actor-revealed/
I much prefer Rosario Dawson's live-action version of Ahsoka to the annoying brat that was in Clone Wars.
As long as Chopper remains an adorable psycho I'm fine with minor changes to other characters. Phantom II looks solid, though I always hated that they had to replace the original with basically just a stolen Sheathipede-class Confederate shuttle rather than the Rebellion managing to snag another VCX fighter for them as a reward for all their hard work.
yeah... it hasn't really been written into the dialogue yet (although admittedly Ahsoka's now pushing 50 rather than 18 or 30), but RD kind of signals it a few times, and has the perfect smile when she does so in character. Totally nails the voice, too Inflection and tonally, at least. the fight with Mando was marvellously choreographed, and had her signature of improvisation. Gonna be very hard for them to fuck this up... I still want Morgan Elsbeth to turn out to be Omega all grown up and bitter.
