With the galaxy about to re-enter the Mandoverse in 83 days, it’s understandable that eyes and attention would turn to the characters and actors we’ve come to know so well, and speaking at Fan Expo Vancouver earlier this month Katee Sackhoff wanted to make very clear that her character Bo-Katan Kryze is very much alive, and while there’s no hint that she’s a part of The Mandalorian and Grogu, she’s still very much alive.
“Always! She’s not dead. She ain’t going anywhere.”
Sackhoff shared that she has an extra layer of assurance because Bo-Katan is “based off Dave Filoni’s wife,” meaning that this gives her “job security forever:”
She can’t, because she’s based off Dave Filoni’s wife. So I have job security forever. Anne [Convery] would be so pissed.”
“[Bo-Katan’s] named after Anne [Filoni] and a cat. Anne’s cat, Boogie… Which is weird because people think that it was drafted after me, and I’m like… No, no, that’s Dave’s wife, Anne! We just look enough alike that they could actually work.”
