Rosario Dawson just dropped some tantalizing hints about Ahsoka's highly anticipated second season while at FanExpo Boston.
Rosario Dawson sat down with Collider for a chat that has left fans buzzing like a podrace on Boonta Eve. During the chat, she shared some juicy tidbits about her journey as Ahsoka Tano, reminisced about her nostalgic moments with Hayden Christensen and Mark Hamill, and teased some mysterious updates about the highly anticipated second season. But don't get too excited just yet – she didn't spill all the beans.
First things first, let's talk about the elephant (or should I say, Bantha) in the room: when are we getting season 2? Well, according to Dawson, even she doesn't know. She confessed that despite her persistent questioning, series creator Dave Filoni has been tight-lipped about the filming dates. She humorously shared, "You know what's so messed up about that, that's the question I asked him the most, and that's the thing he's not been forthcoming about." I personally don't like that.
But let us not lose hope. While specific dates remain elusive, Dawson did hint at some "juicy" details that Filoni shared with her – details that she, unfortunately, can't repeat. She even joked about a security guard potentially reading lips during their conversation. Beyond the elusive filming dates, Dawson took a stroll down memory lane, reflecting on her journey as Ahsoka Tano. She fondly recalled her scenes with Hayden Christensen, with whom she shares a history dating back to their teenage years. Can you believe it's been almost 30 years since they first met? It's like the Force brought them together for this epic Star Wars saga.
Speaking of epic, Dawson also shared her surreal experience recording at Skywalker Ranch for a previous project, before she even dreamed of joining the Star Wars universe. Imagine working alongside legends like Mark Hamill, and then years later, actually sharing the screen with him as Ahsoka. It's like a dream come true for any Star Wars fan, and I am jelly. Dawson enthusiastically recounted freaking out while working with Mark Hamill, even when things didn't quite make sense. "I get it, Plo Koon should be dead. It didn't make any sense, but they wrote Plo Koon," she quipped. The excitement and wonder of being part of such an iconic franchise clearly haven't worn off for her.
As for the future, Rosario's enthusiasm offers a comforting promise to the fandom: the Force remains strong with this series, and the adventures of Ahsoka Tano are far from over. While we eagerly await official news about the next chapter in Ahsoka's story, we can take solace in knowing that Dawson is as thrilled as we are for what's to come.
In the meantime, let's keep our lightsabers at the ready and our excitement levels high. Whether it's new episodes, more nostalgic moments with our favorite characters, or surprising twists and turns, Ahsoka season 2 promises to be a wild ride through the galaxy far, far away.
