Although we still don't have official confirmation, multiple sources have reported that The Mandalorian Season 2 will feature the live-action debut of Ahsoka Tano, with Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Daredevil) taking on the role.
Previous rumors have indicated that the fan-favorite force-wielder will only have a relatively small part to play in The Mandalorian before going on to headline her own spinoff series at some point, but we're now hearing that Ahsoka could return to Disney+ much sooner than anyone will have expected.
According to The Illumiderdi, there are plans in place for Tano to appear in the currently in-development Obi-Wan Kenobi series. They're not sure now the character will factor into the plot, but their sources have assured them that Dawson is "currently in negotiations and is expected to have a presence in the upcoming show."
Kenobi is set long before the events of The Mandalorian, but that doesn't mean an appearance from Ahsoka would be out of place, as she had plenty of dealings with the Jedi Master and may decide to seek him out on Tatooine to find out what exactly happened to Anakin Skywalker. That's pure speculation on our part, of course.
Season 2 of The Mandalorian is still on track to premiere this October, so hopefully we'll some kind of official updates soon. For now, let us know what you think about the prospect of Ahsoka Tano showing up in Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series down below.
