Bryce Dallas Howard Says Fans of THE CLONE WARS Will Be "Greatly Rewarded" With The AHSOKA Series

For those of you who are excited about Lucasfilm’s upcoming Ahsoka series, The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett director Bryce Dallas Howard is here to get you even more pumped up for the show.

The filmmaker doesn’t offer any details on the story, but she did explain that fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be "greatly rewarded" with Ahsoka. Here’s what she told Romper:

"So, Dave Filoni, he knows Star Wars better than anyone other than George [Lucas], and he was taught by George when he was doing all of the Clone Wars because they did that together. And we worked together on Mandalorian. Without giving anything away, you are going to love the Ahsoka show that's coming up. I cannot tell you anything, but what I can say is that you being a fan of the Clone Wars will be greatly rewarded."

Dave Filoni is writing the series and executive producing with Jon Favreau, and I imagine they’ll be directing episodes. With Howard talking about the series, there’s a chance she might be brought on to direct an episode as well.

The series stars Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, who plays Sabine Wren, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in an undisclosed role. It also stars Ivanna Sakhno and Hayden Christensen, who will be back as Darth Vader.

All we know about the story so far is that it follows Ahsoka and Sabine as they hunt for the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn in hopes that he will help her locate the lost Ezra Bridger, the young Jedi who disappeared with Thrawn many years ago.

The series is going to start shooting in Los Angeles later this month. The episode count and additional directors have not been revealed.
