Katee Sackhoff has been making headlines this week after revealing an outtake from The Mandalorian season 3 which, sort of, saw Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin lock lips.
While the actress has since taken to social media to temper the expectations of excited fans, comments made at the same convention saw Sackhoff also confirm that she's visited the set of Ahsoka. Needless to say, there's now speculation about Bo-Katan appearing in the upcoming Disney+ series!
So, will the Mandalorian be reunited with her old Jedi ally?
"No, no, I’m not in Ahsoka," Sackhoff tells The Playlist before teasing, "But, then again, you’d never know anyway. We have such heavy NDAs." As for Dave Filoni's planned movie, she'd only say, "I’ll just keep everything to myself about things that haven’t happened yet."
In the same interview, the actress went on to reveal how much time she spends under Bo-Katan's helmet. Pedro Pascal recently confirmed Din is essentially a voiceover role for him now, but that's not the case for Sackhoff.
"I was at work 99% of the time," she says, reflecting on season 3. "It’s a very, very different thing. For me, Bo is in and out of that helmet so much that it’s vitally important for me to be there every day and to really establish the movements and things like that. It’s really, really important. And so, it was never a question of whether or not I would be there."
While Bo-Katan's brief role in The Mandalorian's second season was well-received by fans, the fact she had so much more to do in the latest batch of episodes saw her largely overshadow the title character. As a result, the warrior has been established as a firm favourite.
Lucasfilm must be mulling over a spin-off, though we're sure Bo-Katan will return in The Mandalorian season 4, regardless. As for Ahsoka, don't be surprised if Mandalore's new leader makes a cameo appearance.
Ahsoka is expected to premiere on Disney+ this August.
