Ahsoka, the character, made her first live-action appearance in season 2 of The Mandalorian after originally being introduced in the animated shows. She’s played by Rosario Dawson, who will be reprising her role for the new series. We already knew the show would debut this year, as it’s part of a pretty-packed slate for Disney Plus in 2023.
