Rosario Dawson turned down Star Trek role because of Ahsoka
Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson seasoned to flip down a position in Star Trek mostly because of her involvement in the Star Wars franchise.
When you take into account how lengthy each of these the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises have existed, the list of actors who have appeared in the two is astonishingly restricted, but Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson came shut to beginning to be element of that exceptional club.
Whilst speaking at Enthusiast Expo Boston, Dawson defined that she had been asked to do some point in Star Trek but seasoned to transform it down as she had just signed on to do Ahsoka. “I could have been a single of Odo’s species, the changeling. I could have been an immortal puddle fellas. Do you have an understanding of my ache (she explained clenching her eyes limited). That would have been actually awesome,” Dawson stated by way of The Telegram. “I also truly pushed to be a ‘Q.’ My father. That was my father (donning a masculine voice and pointing to her dad in the audience), ‘Be Q.’ I’m like, I’m attempting. Suitable? Then I can be, you know, annoying…cause chaos, which I like.’“
Changelings are the species performed by Rene Auberjonois in Star Trek: Deep Room Nine, but we have not observed all that substantially of the species offered that the conclusion of that sequence. Nonetheless, a Changeling did seem in an episode of the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery (which was shot the precise year as Dawson’s initially appear in The Mandalorian), and Amanda Plummer performed the villainous Changeling Vadic in Star Trek: Picard season 3.
Rosario Dawson extra that he’s okay to “cross streams” when it will come to Star Trek and Star Wars and she remains a huge supporter of Gene Roddenberry’s lengthy-managing sci-fi franchise. In point, she confessed that she dropped a lot of Star Trek references on the set of Ahsoka, which evidently drove Dave Filoni mad. “I’m absolutely a ‘Next Gen’ woman. Captain Picard all the way,” she explained. “I have a movie of me remaining dressed as Ahsoka keeping up the Picard Earl Gray tea bottle. One of these days I will write-up it.” Potentially Dawson will get to make the leap to Star Trek sometime down the highway.
As for Ahsoka, the second year of the collection is in improvement with Dave Filoni.
