Rosario Dawson was grateful and excited to bring Ahsoka to life

when when you you finally get cast and you get into costume you get into makeup um I’m sure a flood of emotions but I also I don’t know is there trepidation right before you start shooting because you have to sell this this is a big look this is a big look to it’s one thing to do it in animation and Dave you can speak to this too but to sell it in live action did you have the confidence right from the get-go when you first inhabited this character Rosario I mean I think I had so much exuberance and excitement um especially with Ahsoka living on and this being a new story um and we had so much training and rehearsal so that really helped and having Dave right there by the camera and believing you know like I think that was really what helped me to get past whatever sense of trepidation I might have had that I honestly don’t recall it was more you know it’s it’s a challenge to bring anything to live action but I I luckily had a little bit of experience of that in the past um and and working on different you know like comic like adaptations and stuff and so um even taking something from a play into you know into a movie and you know and just knowing that there’s a vast fan base there um that you know is is really you know not necessarily looking for something wrong but like really looking to be drawn in again really looking for the story to continue really looking to continue loving this character in this world and hoping that they they don’t they don’t that there’s something that that becomes untethered you know you know and so for me what I just felt so grateful for was having just like so much history to to watch and to learn from and to build on and I just took that so seriously I think that’s really what my mind frame was mostly was just honoring this character and honoring as a fan um you know this continuation of this journey and story and just feeling really grateful un I still am like unbelievably grateful um and excited and like mind blown that I get to not only just see it as a fan but like get to be a part of it like it I’m still pinching myself regally
