When you think about how lengthy each the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises have existed, the listing of actors who’ve appeared in each is surprisingly quick, however Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson got here near turning into a part of that unique membership.
Whereas talking at Fan Expo Boston, Dawson defined that she had been requested to do one thing in Star Trek however needed to flip it down as she had simply signed on to do Ahsoka. “I could have been one of Odo’s species, the changeling. I could have been an immortal puddle guys. Do you understand my pain (she said clenching her eyes tight). That would have been really cool,” Dawson stated through The Telegram. “I additionally actually pushed to be a ‘Q.’ My dad.

Then I may be, , annoying…trigger chaos, which I really like.’“
Changelings are the species performed by Rene Auberjonois in Star Trek: Deep Area 9, however we haven’t seen all that a lot of the species for the reason that conclusion of that collection. Nevertheless, a Changeling did seem in an episode of the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery (which was shot the identical yr as Dawson’s first look in The Mandalorian), and Amanda Plummer performed the villainous Changeling Vadic in Star Trek: Picard season 3.

Captain Picard all the way,” she stated. “I have a video of me being dressed as Ahsoka holding up the Picard Earl Gray tea bottle. One of these days I will post it.” Maybe Dawson will get to make the leap to Star Trek someday down the highway.
