We’ve got all of these lead female characters and female-driven movies. We’ve had Rose Tico and Jyn Erso and Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren.

She was too young in the film.Įckstein: I had so many conversations with Dave. We kicked around the idea that maybe that was Ahsoka but then we thought the age didn’t really work out for it to be the same character. I think it was the name given to one of the in Attack of the Clones. That was 2005, and that worked on several levels for me.
