Star Wars: Ahsoka is heading to Disney+ this month, and it will see Rosario Dawson playing the titular character after first playing her in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. The Mandalorian has already been renewed for a fourth season, but the status of The Book of Boba Fett remains unclear. Recently, it was announced thatย Ahsokaย showrunner Dave Filoniย will be directing his own Star Wars film, andย many are assuming it will serve as the climaxย toย The Mandalorianย in addition toย Ahsokaย andย The Book of Boba Bett. That leaves some fans wondering if there will be another season of Ahsoka before the film. Before the SAG strike, Dawson spoke with Entertainment Weekly and teased a second season.ย

“If more comes next, I’d be really excited and grateful,” Dawson shared. “I feel like every time I get to step into her shoes, I learn more. I experience what I could never experience otherwise, and I feel like I keep getting better.”
Will Ahsoka Be In Dave Filoni’sย Star Warsย Movie?
ComicBook.comย had the chance to chat with Rosario Dawson before the SAG strike while she was promoting her new film,ย Haunted Mansion, and we asked ifย she knew anything about Filoni’s film and whether or not she will be in it.ย
“No. I’m just so happy he got it,” Dawson shared when asked if she knew about the project. “Honestly, my uncle is a comic book artist. That is not the average transition coming from animation and going into directing, and especially a film. For all the nerds, I think for the cons and stuff, this is just like, ‘Ah!’ kind of status. So, I’m just super stoked for him because it really could not happen to a better person. He’s so talented and remarkable and awesome, and I love him. And I think what he learned in doing in animation, he’s blowing out of the water in directing and live action. So, I’m, as a fan, excited to watch that movie, whether I’m in it or not.”
She added, “And I hope I’m invited to set, regardless.” You can watch Dawson talk about Filoni’s project in the video above.
