Legendary Jedi warrior Ahsoka Tano may appear in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” at least according to a recent interview with “Rise of Skywalker” director J.J. Abrams.
What happened: Abrams recently spoke with Sora News, a Japanese news outlet, about his favorite character from the “Star Wars” universe, Han Solo.
- Abrams asked the reporter about his or her favorite character. The interviewer replied by saying it was Ahsoka, a popular character from “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels” television shows.
- Abrams: “Hmmm, Ahsoka, huh? Well then you’ll probably want to watch closely during ‘The Rise of Skywalker.’”
Who is she? Ahsoka is a character from the animated series. She was the apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. Her current whereabouts in the “Star Wars” universe are unknown.
Appearance? Will Ahsoka appear? Well, according to ComicBook.com, it’s unlikely.
- “While it’s unlikely that Ahsoka will make a major debut in ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,’ it’s possible that there will be some sort of Easter egg or reference to the character somewhere packed into its runtime. Ever since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, they have made an effort to bridge the gap across the different corners of the extended universe.”
