There’s a precedent for actors wearing their costumes outside of the movie studio. Tom Holland and Johnny Depp have worn their Spider-Man and Jack Sparrow costumes on hospital visits, and Depp has appeared standing on the banks of Pirates of the Caribbean, but few actors have wished to play their character in the wild, for real. Enter Rosario Dawson, who revealed she’d love to be Ahsoka Tano at Galaxy’s Edge.

“I want to play, I want to be the person who walks around in Disney and takes pictures with kids. I think that’d be dope. I’m really impressed by people’s cosplay, though. The folks that I interact with, people get really down sometimes with the details, which are really, really incredible. So, I love that, I think it’s great. I’m a cosplayer, so that’s fun,”
