Rosario Dawson has reportedly been cast to play Ahsoka Tano in season 2 of The Mandalorian.

I must admit I'm excited to finally see a live action version of Ahsoka. She is my favorite animated exclusive Star Wars character. Heck, she's a far more developed, and interesting, female Jedi or female character than either Rey or Padme, IMO.

It seems like a fine fit to me. I always imagined an African-American actress playing her, that that was really the only pre-requisite I had in my mind. So this fits that.

Dawson seems too young to me. Ahsoka wasn't that much younger than Anakin, and Anakin was pretty old when he died in Jedi.

Maybe Torgrutas age slower? (If the rumor is true, wonder if Dawson will try to emulate Ashley Eikstein of if they'll just ignore the vocal differences.)

I love Dawson, but I feel like Ashley Eckstein could have pulled off Ahsoka in live action, and she's been with the character from the beginning.

Anakin wasn't that old in Jedi. He was mid-to-late 40s. Having his whole body be a giant 6th degree burn is why he looked so ancient. Dawson is 40, so she's actually the same age Ahsoka would be in Return of the Jedi.

But she doesn't look like Ahsoka... Live action requires the visual element.
