In another casting update for the upcoming Disney+ series, Star Wars: Ahsoka, Deadline has announced that Ivanna Sakhno will be joining the cast to star alongside previously reported Rosario Dawson and Natasha Liu Bordizzo. Though we don’t know exactly who Sakhno will be portraying, it has been reported that she is thought to be taking over a brand new role created specifically for the show.

Dawson will play the show's title character, Ahsoka Tano, a former Padawan student to Anakin Skywalker, who first appeared in Star Wars: Clone Wars and Rebels. Ahsoka Tano was brought from animation to live action in The Mandalorian and the new series is set to tell her story. Bordizzo’s character, Sabine Wren, will be brought to human form from her previously animated role in the Star Wars Rebels series. Hayden Christensen has also been rumored to be making at least a guest appearance to reprise his role of good guy turned bad, Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader.
