Ahsoka Featurette Highlights Rosario Dawson's Journey, Fan Campaign

The following featurette for Disney+, Lucasfilm & Dave Filoni's  Star Wars: Ahsoka retraces Rosario Dawson's journey to the role.

If there was ever an actor who was born for a role, it was Rosario Dawson for the role of Ahsoka Tano.

But it was a journey that showed what can happen when you combine someone with a love for a character with a fandom willing to fight for them to help them achieve their dream. And it's that very journey that's covered in the following featurette from Lucasfilm, beginning with Dawson discussing the fan campaign on ABC's Good Morning America and bringing us up today, a little more than a month before the series debut.

With that in mind, here's a look back at Dawson's journey to Ahsoka – the character & the series – followed by a look back at what we know about the "Star Wars" universe so far:
