The Ahsoka Tano character was originally introduced in the animated feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars and has gone on to appear in the Clone Wars TV series, the sequel series Star Wars Rebels, and the mini-series Tales of the Jedi. After having a vocal cameo in the film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, she made her live-action screen debut in season 2 of The Mandalorian. The animated version of the character is voiced by Ashley Eckstein. After playing the character on The Mandalorian, Dawson also appeared as Ahsoka in The Book of Boba Fett.
