Rosario Dawson Comments On Ahsoka & Gandalf Comparisons
In the run-up of the new Star Wars series Ahsoka beginning production, series star Rosario Dawson talks about the character's journey, including a comparison to Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings. The series was announced as a spin-off of The Mandalorian with Dawson appearing for the character's live-action debut in the show's second season. Ahsoka has been previously seen in the Star Wars animated shows The Clone Wars and Rebels.
Little is currently known about the plot details of Ahsoka, with the character's appearance in The Mandalorian hinting that she's continuing her search for Grand Admiral Thrawn, a hunt that was talked about in Rebels.
