Earlier this year, Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s casting as Sabine Wren in Ahsoka was officially announced. Since then, the Day Shift actor has been openly speaking about her upcoming project and sharing her excitement about the show. For starters, Bordizzo couldn’t help but gush about the Mandalorian warrior, revealing the qualities she admires in Sabine.
“Her unbelievable bravery, spirit and swag, amidst all the challenge and heartache of everything going on,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
We’re not surprised that Bordizzo is happy to play such a well-written character. Needless to say, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny actress is so caught up in the character that she says she can’t think of a better part to play.
“Is it too much to just say that I’m filming my dream role right now?” Bordizzo said when asked what she’s planning to work on after Ahsoka. She further stated that she is hoping that production will go on forever.
“It’s the truth. I haven’t thought about anything past this project yet because I don’t want it to end. So that’s my answer,” Bordizzo said.
Ahsoka will also star Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano. For now, the actors who will play Star Wars Rebels characters Hera Syndulla and Ezra Bridger have not yet been announced. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
