We’ve known for a while that Birds of Prey and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star Mary Elizabeth Winstead was coming to Ahsoka, though Lucasfilm has remained tight-lipped about who she’s playing. Now, we may know the answer.
The Bespin Bulletin is reporting that she’s been cast as Star Wars: Rebels character Hera Syndulla, a Twi’lek revolutionary leader who played an important role in the early rebellion. Much of the show took place in and around her ship the Ghost, and she went on to become a pivotal figure behind-the-scenes during the original trilogy.
