Rosario Dawson gained a whole new generation of fans when she began playing the live-action iteration of Star Wars' Ahsoka Tano in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

But in a 2020 interview with Variety, Dawson confessed that her ambitions didn't simply end with Star Wars, and that she'd love to add Trek to her resumé too:

"The two universes, Star Trek and Star Wars. I get in those two, I'm telling you, man, that's it. I will just retire. And then I can just concentrate on going to school and running for office. That would be it."

Though Dawson added that she'd happily play a background part as a Romulan or Vulcan, her own father suggested she play a new version of iconic Trek character Q. Speaking of the possibilities of playing the dimension-hopping entity, Dawson said:

"I mean it would be great ‘cause then I could jump on Discovery. I could be on Picard. I just want to be with Jean-Luc Picard."

Don't we all, Rosario? Don't we all?
