Lucasfilm Is Currently Looking for an Actress to Play Sabine Wren in STAR WARS: AHSOKA

Remember when there were rumors swirling that the Star Wars character Sabine Wern was going to show up in The Mandalorian Season 2? It was being reported at one point that WWE Superstar Sasha Banks was going to play the character, but when the actress did show up in the series, she was not playing Sabine.

THR is now reporting that Lucasfilm is currently looking for an actress to star opposite Rosario Dawson as the Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren in the upcoming live-action Star Wars series Ahsoka. Dawson is reprising her role of Ahsoka who made her live-action debut in The Mandalorian Season 2.

It completely makes sense that Sabine would have a big role in the Ahsoka series especially with how Star Wars Rebels ended with her and Ahsoka setting off to search for Ezra Bridger following the events of Return of the Jedi.

It was revealed in The Mandalorian that Ahsoka was on the hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn and one of the reasons for that is because they are looking for Ezra. It was also recently reported that Thrawn and Ezra will be played by Lars Mikkelsen and Mena Massoud in the series.

I love that Lucasfilm is continuing the story arcs of the animated shows with the live-action shows they are making. They are expanding the Star Wars universe in big and exciting ways! I’m very excited to see what this Ahsoka series ends up delivering and what it sets up for future stories.
