If Luke comes, the show would have to recast or de-age actor Mark Hamill (or hide his face). Both survived the events of Jedi: Fallen Order, which took place prior to A New Hope, but it seems unlikely that characters from a video game will play major roles in this show. Ezra Bridger is likely alive, and we don't know what happened to Cere Junda to Cal Kestis. Maybe name them Ahsoka! That'd be handy - right now, we know of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. "Then again, there aren't many Jedi left," she says.
There, the little guy can reach out through the Force and a Jedi might sense his presence. However, she offers Mando an alternative - bring Grogu to the seeing stone on top of a mountain at the temple ruins on the planet Tython. It's a good call, since Grogu's attachment to Mando already resulted in him choking Cara Dune.

She's referring to Anakin, whose attachment to his mother and Padmé Amidala made him go all Darth Vader-y and engage in such antisocial behavior as threateningly activating his lightsaber in a room full of kids and Force choking his wife. "I've seen what such feelings can do to a fully trained Jedi Knight," she says. Michael Biehn, hero of the '80s, plays jerk-face enforcer Lang.Īhsoka refuses to train Grogu because he's become too attached to Mando, fearing that the bond will bring him to the dark side.

We last saw Ahsoka in a Rebels epilogue that took place sometime after the events of Return of the Jedi - it's unclear if that happened before or after this episode - when she joined Mandalorian Sabine Wren in quest to find missing Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger.Īlso, her white-bladed lightsabers look dope in live action! These are the first traditional lightsabers we've seen in the show, since we've previously only seen the Darksaber. If you want to avoid spoilers for The Clone Wars and Rebels - two shows I highly recommend you watch immediately - maybe skip the next paragraph.
I associated Eckstein so strongly with the character that it was a little weird hearing her with a different voice, but I totally accepted Dawson in the role by the end of the episode. It's our first time seeing Ahsoka in live action, and the first time she hasn't been played by voice actor Ashley Eckstein (who also did a vocal cameo in The Rise of Skywalker).

To be fair, Mando brings him into some terrifying situations involving murder droids, flamethrower-wielding stormtroopers and dragons. "I sense much fear in you," she says to Grogu, mirroring Yoda's line to Anakin in The Phantom Menace. He was hidden when the Empire Order 66'd the Jedi in Revenge of the Sith - but by who?! He's hidden his powers to stay off the Empire's radar over the years - we know from Rebels that Inquisitors hunted Force sensitive beings for Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Ahsoka reveals that Grogu was raised in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and received training from many masters.
