In today’s Star Wars news update, we have big news for the upcoming Ahsoka Tano series by Dave Filoni starring Rosario Dawson. After Hayden Christensen who plays Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader was confirmed to be in show, as well as the Lucasfilm and Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series with Ewan McGregor, we have now learned of a new character called Riz. Some Star Wars fans believe this could be a codename for Ezra Bridger who is already confirmed to appear with Grand Admiral Thrawn, Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla. There is going to be a lot of connections to Star Wars Rebels and the Mandalorian Season 3. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are leading the way with it. We don’t yet know if Hayden is playing Anakin’s Force Ghost or Vader in flashbacks but it is possible, it could be both. We may get other big characters like Grogu, Luke Skywalker and others!
We also talk about the Kenobi series and O’Shea Jackson Jr who spoke recently about his experience for the Deborah Chow show. The series was first announced last year by Kathleen Kennedy and is coming to Disney+ some time in 2022.
