Another addition has been added to the Star Wars Celebration Japan guest list as Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson will be joining the event.

Announced on Celebration's Twitter account and shared via Star Wars News Net (SWNN), she has been added to the guest photo op and autograph list for fans to meet the actor. She is the first person from Ahsoka to be added to the roster, but more than likely, not the last one. As SWNN points out, the show is set to start filming this year. Perhaps there is a planned break for the cast to attend. This could be a good chance to formally introduce Rory McCann, who is set to step into the role of Baylan Skoll after the passing of his late friend, Ray Stevenson.

This follows up the announcement from earlier this week that Ahmed Best and John Knoll would also be guests at Star Wars Celebration Japan. Best is known for his work on Episode I: The Phantom Menace as Jar Jar Binks before his recent acting role in a galaxy far, far away as Jedi Master Kelleran Best in Jedi Temple Challenge and The Mandalorian. Knoll is a Visual Effects Supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic, where he has brought his craft and talent for almost four decades.

Dawson joins several Star Wars fan favorites for Celebration including members of the Andor cast Diego Luna, Mads Mikkelsen, and Alan Tudyk. As Celebration takes place just days before Season 2 airs, it's no surprise that the cast is there to help promote the second and final season of the show. Other include Ashley Eckstein, Daniel Logan, Anthony Daniels, Sam Witwer, Manny Jacinto, Temuera Morrison, and Doug Chiang just to name a few. I'm sure we'll have plenty more announcements between now and April.

Star Wars Celebration 2025 is in Japan at the Makuhari Messe from April 18-20. Tickets are still available on the Celebration website here.
