Star Wars Rebels fan-favorite Sabine Wren has been rumored to make the jump to live-action for the Ahsoka Disney+ series for a while, and yesterday, we finally got confirmation that Lucasfilm is searching for an actress to play the Mandalorian warrior.
Now, we may have an idea of who's in with a chance of landing the part.
Jordan Maison, who has been a solid source for Star Wars-related scoops in the past, took to Twitter to say he's heard that the search has been narrowed down to three front-runners of Asian/Southeast Asian heritage. When /Film's Adam Frazier chimed in with two of the names, Maison added the third.
They are: Lana Condor (X-Men: Apocalypse, To All The Boys), Tati Gabrielle (The 100, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and model Havana Rose Liu, who has appeared in the likes of Mayday and Girls Will Be.
We'll obviously have to treat this as a rumor for the time being, but if these are indeed the front-runners, there's a decent chance one of them will end up joining Rosario Dawson in The Mandalorian spinoff.
In the closing moments of the Rebels series finale, Ahsoka and Sabine embarked on a mission to find Ezra Bridger after the young Jedi was seemingly sucked into a wormhole during his battle with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Though these events weren't mentioned specifically in Tano's episode of The Mandalorian, there were a few hints that she might be searching for answers during her confrontation with Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth.
Both Ezra and Thrawn have also been rumored to make their live-action debuts in Ahsoka, but we haven't had any solid updates on that front in a while.
