Star Wars Rebels: Everything We Know About The Rumoured Ahsoka TV Show
4. Captain Rex And Bo-Katan
In addition to Dawson's casting, several other big name actors, such as Timothy Olyphant, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Michael Biehn have joined the cast of The Mandalorian Season 2. The most relevant name to Ahsoka's story is Temuera Morrison. Morrison's most famous role is in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones as Jango Fett, the bounty hunter off of whom the clones are based.
Morrison has been cast in The Mandalorian as Boba Fett, a clone Jango raised as a son. However, he might be playing multiple roles. Could Temuera Morrison also be playing Captain Rex? As a clone of Jango Fett, he should be portrayed by the same actor, and Morrison would be about the right age to play the battle worn soldier. Clone Wars creator Dave Filoni's Twitter shows an older Ahsoka and Rex together, so hopefully The Mandalorian can make that image a reality.
Similarly, Katee Sackhoff has joined The Mandalorian's cast, reprising her role from Clone Wars as Bo-Katan. Bo-Katan and Ahsoka's paths crossed in Clone Wars Season 7, so if she reunites with live action versions of the Mandalorian soldier and the clone captain, her own supporting cast could be growing.
