Rosario Dawson, Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Mary Elizabeth Winstead | Star Wars Celebration LIVE! 2023

Watch host Kristin Baver (StarWars.com, This Week! In Star Wars) interview Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka Tano), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Sabine Wren) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Hera Syndulla) at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023.

[@pitilessnightmare6879]

Dude, Ewan's family is conquering the world of Star Wars. Hera - played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. His wife since last year. Wedge Antilles - played by Denis Lawson. His uncle. The drug dealer in the Kenobi Series when he went to rescue Leia - played by Esther. His daughter. And Obi-Wan - well, that’s him. Not that I’m complaining though, they are bunch of good actors lol.

[@preciousotoakhia9789]

She is incredible ❤

[@danapeck5382]

Totally agree

[@Dave-mf6tj]

She may get it, she may be a good actress, but she does not feel like Ahsoka, just an actress playing a role It will never be like the person who gave life to the character Which is why Thrawn's actor will nail it, Bo-katan has nailed it too, etc. But that's all we will get and I'm sure it will be great Just my opinion, but not hating on her or anything

[@lukasky03]

@@Dave-mf6tj Ashley gave life to Ahsoka through her voice and deserves all the props and credit for doing so, but she could not embody Ahsoka the way Rosario does. From the minute she appeared on screen in The Mandalorian--she was Ahsoka. Rosario nails it to the nth degree. *Perfect* casting.

[@gabrielgauto7741]

Pegaria una serie de Sabine wren cuando era cadete imperial y tambien como cazarecompezas para saber mas de ella y explorar mas

[@Pidalin]

I was saying that immediately when they announced that cast, I was really happy with that decision, she really looks like Sabine, she had those correct movements and she is also beautiful. I saw movie Day Shift (she plays a good vampire there) in pretty much the same time when they announced that she will be Sabine and I immediately knew it's casting of the year, they couldn't find better actress for Sabine. 😀 I was sad from that some people were complaining about that cast, I saw even some really terrible comments about here slightly asian eyes, such comments are really terrible, Sabine looked like that even in Rebels, people can be really idiots.

[@singingcat02]

I think we've got a consensus in the fandom at least for one thing in these past few years, and it's the casting of this series. Between Lars as Thrawn, Rosario as Ahsoka, Natasha as Sabine, Mary Elizabeth as Hera, Eman as Ezra... Everyone seems happy with it and the actors definitely deserve it. I'm sure they'll protray their respective characters incredibly well !

[@ishraqtalukder4518]

Rosario and Natasha are seriously going to be the most best accurate casting of Ashoka and Sabine.

[@Headcase650]

I really wish they would have given a shout out to the voice cast of rebels. They brought these characters to life and are the reason everyone fell in love with them. Everyone's excitement for the live action show is based on years and years of hard work by Dave filoni the animators and the voice actors that built the foundation for this to even be possible.

[@persephone342]

Exactly!

[@michaeldemocko443]

I'm probably in the minority here, but Rebels might be my favorite Stars Wars content... ever. I love the casting of these people for some of my favorite characters; they totally get it, and they appreciate the shoes they are stepping into. I cannot wait to see this show!!

[@MoonSun00]

You're not the only one. The Rebels and Clone Wars are my most favorite series 😊

[@ncard00]

People say the prequels tried to explain the force with science, and wasn’t as mystical, which is symbolism of the jedi losing their way, but a few arcs in clone wars and especially rebels added the mystique to star wars again, which many people don’t give enough credit to rebels for. But then when people get it, they conplain about the world between worlds, cause they can’t explain it, and they think it’s time travel… you can never poease everyone, always people conplaining, which is fine, but not from a place of subjetive feelings, objective critisism is fine.

[@coeusdarksoul2855]

The only people that didn't love rebels & count it in their top3 are the ones who didn't watch it, didn't pay attention to it, or prejudiced it because it's "a cartoon" and are in denial. Easily the best all-around SW content since RoTJ

[@putinscat1208]

It's the only animated show I watched till the end.

Nope, I’m with u clone wars and rebels were both great.

[@scramblesish]

Crushing hard on all of them - so cool and so beautiful

[@jeffreyelliott2428]

I think it's funny they choked when Rosario brought up "light saber" training with Natasha, like they were spoiling something. I guess they forgot that Sabine had light saber training from Kanan Jarrus while Sabine had the Dark Saber. lol. I'm happy to see Mary Elizabeth Windstead join Star Wars, loved her since Sky High, and don't know Natasha Liu Bordizzo but looks like she's done some action movies before so I think they did great casting for some now iconic characters, looking forward to getting this Ahsoka series!

[@hippoace]

i suppose the point is having Ashoka train Sabine...not the fact Sabine alr had some lightsaber training lol

[@preciousotoakhia9789]

Natasha liv was in the society series

[@zephyr835]

I don't think they forgot the training from Kanan. Natasha has said she's watched that very episode a number of times. And she does have a good amount of action experience, including martial arts and sword training IIRC. Also, Sabine has Ezra's lightsaber at the end of Rebels.

A perfect match of actors and characters to be these characters the warmth n family feel that the actors have talked abut that the production set was a great environment for their acting growth and the series.

The way Natasha describes Sabine in interviews really intrigues me. Sounds like Sabine will be in a dark place in the series. Also I’m wondering if there was a falling out between Sabine and Hera.

[@strikerecho2592]

If there was a falling out between Rebels and Ahsoka, it probably would be because Sabine chose to stay on Lothal instead of assisting the Rebel Alliance.

Natasha is a perfect casting for Sabine, so much so that it sounded weird hearing the Australian accent, even though I knew she was Australian.

[@nickshares8158]

When I first heard Mary might be playing Hera. I was confused because I thought she was too young. Then I learned she was only like 24 in Rebels season.1. She seemed older because of that maternal nature.
