Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie! This is going to be my Mandalorian season 2
ahsoka tano video that's right it really does seem like ahsoka tano is coming to
the mandalorian season 2 so we'll break it all down there's a bunch of Easter
eggs and I'll explain what happened to her after the events of the Clone Wars
if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos they
just finished filming the Mandalorian season 2 thankfully before the big virus
hit even though Hollywood's kind of shut down for a couple weeks so I will talk
about how that's going to affect the Mandalorian season 2 timeline this year
so we'll just break this down top 10 style starting with number 10 if you
didn't see the news this morning the slashfilm guys broke the news that rosario
Dawson had been cast as Ahsoka Tano life action for the mandalorian season 2
then all the other Hollywood trades confirmed the news so this does seem
like a real thing ahsoka is one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars
universe that they have just not done live-action yet so it wasn't so much a
question of if they would ever do her live-action it was just a question of
when and which Star Wars movie or Disney Plus series they would put her on first
because of their plan for all the Star Wars Disney Plus series there's a lot of
them that are set or will be set during her lifetime so there's a number of
different places she could show up besides the Mandalorian season 2 after
she shows up on the Mandalorian but it makes sense that they would put her on
the Mandalorian series first it's the most popular Star Wars thing right now
so obviously if you want to make a big splash you put her on the biggest thing
going on number nine most of you know Dave Filoni from the Star Wars animated
series that he created the Clone Wars which is currently airing season seven
episodes right now on Disney Plus and also Star Wars rebels
he's also an executive producer and co-creator with Jon Favreau on the
live-action Mandalorian series so you start to see the connection here him
bringing his animated characters to the live-action series slowly Dave Filoni
actually created the ahsoka character for the Clone Wars special she's one of
the few Star Wars characters that was not created by George Lucas so you could
say that she's the character whose most precious to Dave Filoni he's very
protective of her in the way that George Lucas was always very very protective of
the Yoda character Poppa bless loved that picture of
George Lucas on the set of the mandalorian season 2 this is from the
mandalorian season 2 with him cradling the baby Yoda puppet but when they were
getting ready to premiere the Mandalorians season 1 back at d23 dave
Filoni did several interviews where people asked him if they would bring
animated characters into the live-action series this was his answer.
You see a world in which someone like ahsoka could go live-action or anyone else like some
of your animated creations could make the jump in vis versa?
Yeah you know. Never Say Never.
As you can tell from his answer is
basically him chuckling saying yes like just you wait wait till you see what I
have planned in number 8 here's the thing too at the time he did that
interview they had already started working on the mandalorian season 2
episodes meaning they had probably already signed rosario Dawson to a deal
to play ahsoka we don't know which episode she shows up in and how many
episodes she's going to be in during season 2 but the Mandalorian season 2 will have
a tepid stoughton just like season 1 I don't know how long the episodes will be
because the season 1 episodes were pretty short from what you would
normally expect but rosario Dawson does have recent history with the ahsoka
character this whole live-action ahsoka theory has actually been around for a
long time way back in 2017 she tweeted this ahsoka lives that was before she
showed up on Star Wars rebels then she showed up on Good Morning America
actually talking about it with them questioning her and her saying oh you
know I'm hoping that this bodes well the Star Wars will cast me as Ahsoka in live action.
There's a whole campaign that's going on online to try to get me in star wars. To play Ahsoka.
Ahsoka Tano, which would be amazing!
You know what. Star Wars follows you on twitter. They don't follow anybody that's
not in their movies!
I know! I'm like. I think this is a good sign! Internet help me out!
Obviously that was when all the new movies were happening so we always
wondered if she would show up somewhere in the movies and she kind of did but
not in the way we expected and just for reference ahsoka
would be in her early 40s while the events of the Mandalorian series are
going on so she's still pretty young rosario Dawson in real life is about 40
years old so she's about the same age as ahsoka would be during the Mandalorian
season to number seven a lot of people also asking what's going on with
Ashley Eckstein and if they're going to pull a Darth Maul live action like they
did during Star Wars solo everyone remembers at the end of solo a Star Wars
story Darth Maul shows up and it's secretly revealed that he is the head of
the crimson dawn criminal empire which sort of flows with what was happening
with him at the end of the Clone Wars but what they did for that performance
is that they had Rey Park an older Rey Park in real life come back to reprised
the role as Darth Maul from the original prequel movies but they also had Sam
Witwer doing the voice so it was two actors combined to form this one
performance sam witwer had been doing the voice of Darth Maul for years on
Star Wars the Clone Wars animated series so because ashley eckstein has been the
voice of ahsoka tano on the Clone Wars she also came back and did her voice
during Star Wars rebels I've seen a lot of people in my timeline ask if they're
just going to dub Ashley Eckstein's voice onto Rosario Dawson's performance and I
don't think that they're going to do that in this case if it were a lesser actor
playing live-action ahsoka I would say probably yes but the main reason why
they dubbed sam witwer voice onto Ray Park is because when Ray Park played
Darth Maul during the prequels he was actually being dubbed then too he's
always been dubbed it's never been ray parks real voice as Darth Maul so it's
not quite the same situation with the ahsoka character but if I hear anything
more about ashley eckstein being involved with the project i'll totally
do a video about it number 6 what happened to ahsoka
after the events of the Clone Wars so right now ahsoka just came back during
the Clone Wars season 7 episode 5 the episode literally dropped this morning
she shows up in a level 1313 world story Archon Khorasan there was a
bunch of deleted episodes when the Clone Wars was cancelled so I don't know how
much of the original ideas survived into the new episodes but her big story line
during Clone Wars season 7 is about her teaming back up with a Jedi the
Mandalorians in the Republic forces again to help liberate Mandalore from
Darth Maul and his crime syndicate forces you may have even seen the
special hashtag the Star Wars created for Darth Maul's forces this season the
mole DeLorean clearly a joke on the Mandalorian series this is the way the
Maul DeLoreans are just the special troopers that worked for Darth Maul that
took his side during this big conflict and made their armor look like him so
underneath that armor those are just regular looking Mandalorians serving
Darth Maul but the big final arc for ahsoka
during this Clone Wars final season is ahsoka versus Darth Maul they both
survive into the future because both Darth Maul and ahsoka show up on Star
Wars rebels for a rematch and then obviously ahsoka now is showing up on
the Mandalorian so we know that she survives into the future so number 5
the very last time we physically saw ahsoka on screen in the Star Wars
timeline is right after the events of Return of the Jedi in the Battle of
Endor she shows up in this end credits scene from Star Wars rebels final
episode it's a big time jump and this is ahsoka in her mid to late 30s this is
the oldest we've ever seen her alive notice Sabine Wren here also a
Mandalorian I'll talk about that in a second she's in her 20s when this scene
is happening the events of the Mandalorian series take place about five
years after this scene so not that much time goes by but number four that's not
the last time that ahsoka shows up in the Star Wars timeline the very last
time she shows up is during rise of Skywalker when Rey hears the voices of
the Jedi calling out to her so if you haven't seen rise of Skywalker just
careful for spoilers because we'll be talking about this ahsoka scene so what
happens is Rey is fighting Palpatine in this big final battle she has to defeat
him the voices of pretty much every famous Star Wars force sensitive Jedi
character call out to her from Yoda both versions of obi-wan Kenobi they have
young obi-wan Kenobi played by Ewan McGregor but they also have the voice of
older Alec Guinness obi-wan can in this too so two different Obi-Wans
talking to her. Ashley eckstein came back to do the voice of ahsoka tano calling
out to her as well so the fans heard that and they assumed that that meant
that ahsoka was dead but then right after the movie came out dave Filoni
posted this picture of Ahsoka in gandalf that he had drawn implying that
ahsoka was not dead number three what is ahsoka doing
during the events of the Mandalorian season 2 if this is five years that's
the last time we saw her assuming she's no longer traveling with Sabine Wren
ahsoka would probably be roaming around the Outer Rim probably trying to help
people and searching for more Jedi to survive the purge
we can predict then that along come the Mandalorian baby Yoda in Moff Gideon in
a mess of trouble with them the Mandalorian din Joran was given orders
from the armor in the finale to seek out the jedi so that they could help baby
Yoda and train him as a Jedi seek out his people ahsoka is probably the former
Jedi that he runs into number two the siege of Mandalore was referenced on the
Mandalorian episode eight finale by Moff Gideon they're also covering the siege
of Mandalore during the Clone Wars season seven final episodes
it's the Republic forces with Ahsoka's help and her commando force of clone
troopers laying siege to Mandalore in order to kick Darth Maul and his crime
syndicate forces off the planet in number one what happens to ahsoka
after the Mandalorian series the way they're engineering the Star Wars Disney
Plus series is that there's going to be some Mandalorian spin-offs any of the
series that take place during her lifetime there's a Star Wars obi-wan
Kenobi series that she could also come back on she'd be a much younger version
of the character but they could still pull that off with rosario Dawson just
using makeup to make her look a little bit younger
so live-action ahsoka is just the beginning remember sabina Wren would be
in her late 20s when the Mandalorian is taking place so they could always do
live action Sabine at some point too because she's also a Mandalorian just
like din Joran because of the big virus shutting down Hollywood for the next few
weeks or possibly the next couple of months
they might wait to drop the first Mandalorian season 2 trailer till later
this spring or summer but I'll keep doing bonus videos until then so post
all your reactions to this live-action ahsoka in the comments and let me know
if you have any big questions or special requests for videos
