Star Wars: Ahsoka Adds a Possible Thrawn Counterpart

Star Wars producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni are laborious at work prepping their subsequent streaming present, Ahsoka, and have added a comparatively unknown actress to the forged in a thriller half. Deadline studies that Ukranian actress Ivanna Sakhno, who beforehand appeared in Pacific Rim Uprising and the High Fidelity TV present, has come aboard. And whereas there’s no official phrase on who she might be taking part in, now we have a wild guess.

Going off seems alone, she could be playing Ar’alani, a Chiss army strategist who rose up within the ranks alongside a better-recognized Chiss by the title of Thrawn. Now, why make this large, presumably incorrect leap? Well, don’t neglect that when Ahsoka appeared in The Mandalorian season two, she was in a position to get hold of Thrawn’s whereabouts. We additionally know that, round this time, she and Sabine Wren (prone to be performed on this new present by Natasha Liu Bordizzo) went off on a mission to seek out their good friend Ezra Bridger (different rumors, not as concrete because the Sabine ones, doubtlessly place Aladdin’s Mena Massoud in that function). Now, if we all know Ahsoka is after Thrawn, and we predict Ahsoka goes to see Sabine, to perhaps go after Ezra, who was final seen with Thrawn, that there could be different Chiss round looks like a greater than pretty reasoned assumption.

Or she’s taking part in somebody fully totally different.

Nevertheless, Sakhno is prone to be part of the forged and filming is prone to start early subsequent yr. That would place the Ahsoka present on a trajectory to return out both very late subsequent yr or, extra probably, within the first half of 2023. Because, don’t neglect, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi and season three of The Mandalorian could have all accomplished manufacturing by the point Ahsoka lights up each of her lightsabers once more. (Boba Fett is out subsequent month, and rumors counsel Kenobi might be coming within the spring/summer, adopted by Andor within the fall, after which Mandalorian within the winter. Only Fett is official in the intervening time although.)

So, would you wish to see Sakhno as Ar’alani? Is there another person you suppose she might be taking part in? Let us know beneath. But simply don’t say Aurra Sing. Thanks to Solo, we all know she perished lengthy earlier than that.
