WWE Superstar Sasha Banks (real name, Mercedes Varnado) played Koska Reeves in "Chapter 10" of The Mandalorian, and while her role was a small one, it definitely resonated with fans.
During a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Varnado was asked about a possible return to a Galaxy Far, Far Away, and it doesn't sound like we'll be seeing more of her during season two.
"Well, I can only hope that the fans get to know more, I'm only in this episode," she confirmed. "It's awesome but we can only hope for more stuff. So, if I can pray and manifest anything, I just hope myself and Katee, Bo-Katan [Kryze], can hopefully get the Darksaber one day. But we'll have to see, I don't know."
Of course, even if Koska Reeves was going to return at some point in the next four episodes, there's no way Varnado would confirm it (especially as she's likely to be under a strict NDA). It's inevitable that we'll eventually see more of her, of course, as Bo-Katan's story is far from over.
As for what she hopes to bring to the role down the line, the actress compared the Mandalorian warrior to her in-ring WWE persona, Sasha Banks.
"I would say [Koska and Sasha] have almost the same kind of attitude and just the presence of knowing of who's in control and holding her stand, holding her power. I feel like that's what I try to bring to Koska. I wanted to have a little bit of a legit Boss essence. But hopefully, we can discover more in season three."
Reeves has already saved The Child - earning her a lot of fans in the process - so getting to explore the character and learning more about her will definitely be appreciated by Star Wars fans.

The crash landing that kicked off this episode of The Mandalorian was a lot of fun, though it's a shame we never got to see Din Djarin standing in his cockpit as water slowly started pouring in. Instead, the trio on board were seemingly kept safe by part of the ship remaining airtight.
The Child came under fire from a lot of fans for the way he mercilessly tucked into Frog Lady's eggs in "The Passenger," but director Bryce Dallas Howard made up for that with heaps of cute visuals. However, we'll get to his "redemption" a little later in this gallery of concept art from "The Heiress."
The titular bounty hunter's trip across the sea didn't last long, and that's because he was betrayed by the crew on board (they wanted that shiny Beskar armour). Something you may not have noticed in the episode itself is the fact that creature's maw looks an awful lot like shark fins surrounding The Child!
The attack on that Imperial vessel was unforgettable, with the sight of the four Mandalorians blasting into the sky afterwards one of the most memorable shots the series has ever delivered. Bo-Katan Kryze's live-action debut has been rumoured for a while, so that title - "The Heiress" - was a dead giveaway for some fans.
The Child may have enjoyed eating Frog Lady's unfertilised eggs, but when it came to her offspring, it didn't appear as if he had any interest in making them lunch. In fact, if Din Djarin's comments were anything to go by, he wanted one as a pet, so it's fair to say the little critter has been redeemed somewhat.
