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.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
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.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
Dawson seems too young to me. Ahsoka wasn't that much younger than Anakin, and Anakin was pretty old when he died in Jedi.

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.
