The Mandalorian season 2 has finally reached the moment Star Wars fans have been waiting for: the live-action debut of Ahsoka Tano! The Clone Wars and Rebels icon was played by Rosario Dawson, who is stepping into some pretty big shoes, as Ahsoka's character was birthed and shaped by voice actress Ashley Eckstein. So how are Star Wars fans reacting to seeing this new version of Ahsoka Tano? By the look of things on social media, Dawson's Ahsoka is getting a very warm welcome into the Star Wars Universe - even from diehard fans of Clone Wars and Rebels!

Scroll below to check out Star Wars fans' current love-fest with Ahsoka Tano:

So Much Star Wars Goodness

This is a monumental Episode of #TheMandalorian
Seeing #AhsokaTano in live action just gave me chills. Thank you Dave Filoni, Rosario Dawson is amazing as Ahsoka and she nailed it. We got a name for Baby Yoda(Grogu), Thrawn is still alive which means Ezra is out there somewhere pic.twitter.com/7bwFM3XZU4

The Mandalorian Chapter 13: The Jedi was full of several big Star Wars animated series reveals in the live-action universe, delivered by the man (Dave Filoni) that made modern Star Wars animation famous.

After All These Years...

Star Wars: The Clone Wars began Ahsoka's story in 2008. For fans who have been with her since her beginning, it's been a long and hard-fought road to get here.

Never Forget Queen Ashley

Before she is brought into live action I would like to thank Ashley Eckstein for bringing Ahsoka Tano to life in animation for us. One of the best characters in all of Star Wars. pic.twitter.com/FGM6dZSFmu

Rosario Dawson is quickly winning-over fans as Ahsoka Tano, but that in no way means Ashley Eckstein's contributions to the character and franchise will ever be forgotten.

More important than anything else, it seems that Star Wars fans overwhelmingly agree that Ahsoka was given her proper due with this live-action adaptation.

Perfection.

The two baddest ladies of The Clone Wars have made The Mandalorian season 2 event-worthy TV.

Best. Star Wars. Ever.

Chapter 13 is some of the best Star Wars content ever created. Finally getting to see Ahsoka Tano (my favourite character) in live-action was everything I wanted and more. Rosario Dawson was just perfect, Ludwig nailed the score and this is Star Wars at its best. #TheMandalorian pic.twitter.com/Vl3G1eFXgv

Man ain't wrong. 'Nuff said.

The Future Looks Great

Damn Filoni really took his position and got Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett, and Thrawn all back for the live action series, setting up Disney+'s future to be the greatest star wars live action in a while #AhsokaTano #TheMandalorian pic.twitter.com/dl5p9FkapE

Dave Filoni has taken major characters he built up in the animated universe (Ahsoka, Boba Fett, Bo-Katan) and positioned them for some exciting potential live-action spinoffs. It's pretty much alchemy, and the future of Stars Wars TV is looking real good for fans.
