Dave Filoni's Ahsoka marked a culmination of Lucasfilm's slow rollout that brought Star Wars animated characters to live-action, starting with The Clone Wars' Saw Gerrera appearing in 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, portrayed by Forest Whitaker. Ahsoka starred the more well-known titular character who got her introduction in animation and the beloved characters from Star Wars Rebels. Lucasfilm has also been working in characters from its Star Wars novels, such as Cobb Vanth and Grand Admiral Thrawn.
