Star Wars: Ahsoka’s Rosario Dawson Shares New BTS Photos Featuring Hayden Christensen and Dave Filoni

Star Wars: Ahsoka released its first season on Disney+ this year, but the episodes were dropped during the SAG strike, which means the show’s stars were unable to promote the series. Now that the strike has come to an end, the show’s cast has been making the most of it by sharing behind-the-scenes moments. Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka Tano) previously posted behind-the-scenes photos featuring Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), and today she posted some more that also included Ahsoka showrunner, Dave Filoni. 

“For the curious ones… #AHSelfie #TANOTUESDAY,” Dawson shared earlier this week. You can check out the images below:

Dave Filoni Recalls Bringing Young Ahsoka Into Live-Action:

The fifth episode of Ahsoka marked the first time the younger version of the character had been seen in live-action, and she was played by Barbie‘s Ariana Greenblatt. Recently, Filoni spoke with the Dagobah Dispatch podcast (via ScreenRant) and recalled how it felt seeing Greenblatt embody Ahsoka on set.

“For me, the weirdest one had to be when, and there were a lot of great moments with so many of the people and characters, but when I saw Ariana as young Ahsoka, that was a real thunderbolt,” Filoni shared. “Because that character in that form is really the first thing that I contributed to Star Wars and at Lucasfilm. She was a discussion point from, really, day one with George and I, in the very beginning. I remember drawing that character and figuring out what she was gonna look like before anybody was even aware that Anakin even had a Padawan.”

He continued, “There was this awesome moment where Ariana was sitting there on the ground, kinda kneeling, and she was telling… I don’t know what she was talking about, but she was telling this story to a bunch of guys dressed as clones, and it was the most one-to-one real thing I’d ever seen. I just sat there and stared at it, and it was so… she wasn’t acting, she wasn’t being Ahsoka, but she was being so Ahsoka. I was like, ‘Wow, it’s exactly what it was, this young girl captivated all these soldiers, ’cause she’s got that charisma, she was that thing.’ That was kind of really jaw-dropping for me. Those were very fun days. Those were the days where people would just filter onto the set that normally aren’t there, because they just wanted to stand there and watch it. We had planned that whole sequence to a T.”

Will Ahsoka Get a Season 2?

After Ahsoka‘s first season came to an end, Deadline reported that “Ahsoka Season 2 is more of a reality in the conversation, though nothing is locked yet.” Considering Ahsoka‘s ties with The Mandalorian and Filoni’s future film plans, it’s pretty likely we’ll be seeing the Ahsoka characters again. Earlier this year, ComicBook.com had the chance to chat with Rosario Dawson, and we asked if she knew anything about Filoni’s film and whether or not she would be in it. 

“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.” 

Ahsoka is now streaming on Disney+.
