Now that the Star Wars Celebration event has wrapped in London, I will begin posting some interviews Mary did while she was there promoting the show with the cast & crew. The first interview comes from one she did yesterday (4/8) with Rosario Dawson & Natasha Liu Bordizzo talking about how they feel joining the Star Wars universe and learning about their characters:
Mary also spoke with ET Canda about how she feels joining the Star Wars franchise (around the 2:35 mark):
And in another interview with Screen Rant, Mary was asked if her husband Ewan McGregor any advice joining the series and if she’d love her character to team up with Obi-Wan:

I don’t know that he gave me any advice necessarily, other than to just enjoy it. He just told me about what a special experience it is to get to be part of something that means so much to so many people. And that already is proving true just today. And, yeah! I think if there was any way to make the timelines match up in some way, I would be incredibly happy to do that.
Stay tuned for even more ‘Ahsoka’ interviews with Mary to be released soon!
As the title reveals, Mary was in London for the second day in a row as she attended day 2 of the Star Wars Celebration Expo celebrating the upcoming premiere of Ahsoka. While there, she was joined by her co-stars Rosario Dawson and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as well as Jon Favreau, Diana Lee Inosanto, Ivanna Sakhno and Dave Filoni. During the event it was revealed that several different directors will direct episodes including Dave Filoni, who wrote all the episodes.

Actress Rosario Dawson was on the Today Show earlier this week where she recently gave an update on the upcoming Disney+ series ‘Ahsoka’. Though it was quick, Rosario states that the series will begin airing “later this fall”, although not confirmed.
You can view her speaking about the show at the video below, beginning around the 1:23 mark. The Star Wars spin-off will also star Rosario’s Death Proof co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Hayden Christensen. As always, stay tuned for updates!
In some very cool and exciting news, it has been announced that Mary Elizabeth Winstead has joined the Disney+ limited series ‘Ahsoka’. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mary’s role is currently being kept under wraps, but she is joining Hayden Christensen who is reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker and her Death Proof co-star Rosario Dawson, who plays the lead character Ahsoka Tano.
Jon Favreau is executive producing with production set to begin this spring in California.
Who do you guys think she’ll be playing? An already established character within the universe, or someone entirely new?
