Rebels' Hera Syndulla Cast in Ahsoka

The latest casting indicates that Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Birds of Prey) has been cast as Hera Syndulla in Star Wars: Ahsoka. The series, expected next year, is looking to re-unite the live action version of the cartoon series Star Wars: Rebels. Other characters from the series include Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Natshia Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger. The series is rumored to be about the hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn, the big bad of the Rebels series and considered the heir apparent to the Empire throne. At least before Abrams destroyed the Extended Universe. Now Thrawn's role in the post Return of the Jedi world is an unknown. Ahsoka is expected to be released at some point in later 2023.
