It’s the reunion we waited years for. Ever since Ahsoka landed on Disney Plus last year we’ve been fortunate to see old pals Hayden Christensen and Rosario Dawson together again, and here at Awesome Con a couple of weekends ago they discuss their careers and of course their GFFA alter egos.

Star Wars Ahsoka actors Rosario Dawson and Hayden Christensen gave a panel at Awesome Con 2024 to talk about their experiences, roles, and the Star Wars fandom.

Rosario Dawson portrayed Ahsoka Tano in Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, and the Mandalorian. She is also known for roles in Daredevil, Josie and the Pussycats, Sin City, Clerks II, Clerks III, Shattered Glass, Rent, Men in Black II, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Grindhouse (Deathproof), and many more.

Hayden Christensen played Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader in Ahsoka and in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and more. He is also known for his roles in Jumper, Shattered Glass, The Last Man, First Kill, Outcast, American Heist, Goosebumps, Factory Girl, and many more.

This panel was recorded on March 9th, 2024, and moderated by Steph Stricklen.

Event Details

The Mandalorian and Grogu, announced as The Mandalorian & Grogu, is a Star Wars movie that started production in 2024. Directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, it takes place between the events of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Episode VII: The Force Awakens, focuses on the adventures of Din Djarin and Din Grogu, and will be a spinoff to the TV series Star Wars: The Mandalorian. The film was announced on January 9 that year on StarWars.com with a conceptual sketch by veteran illustrator Ryan Church, along with an announcement of a second season of the television series Star Wars: Ahsoka. A fourth season of The Mandalorian is also still in development.

On May 7, 2019, Disney revealed their future movie release schedule, including a set of three untitled new Star Wars films, one of which had a scheduled release date of December 20, 2024. The Star Wars Show also reported on the news on May 15. On July 23, 2020, after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film was delayed to December 19, 2025. After the start of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, Disney shifted their theatrical film release slate, with the film being pushed to its current release date of May 22, 2026. A film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy occupied this release slot until The Mandalorian & Grogu was announced.

Star Wars Insider 224 revealed the initial film logo was the same as the one for The Mandalorian Season Three. In August 2024, during D23 2024, it was revealed that the film had entered production, and a new logo was revealed, in addition to a teaser that was shown to the audience. In August 2024, Sigourney Weaver revealed that she had joined the cast of The Mandalorian & Grogu.

Alongside the release of the movie, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run will be updated to include a new mission featuring Djarin, Grogu, Tatooine, Endor and Cloud City, which takes place off camera from the film.
