The roster of Star Wars shows on Disney Plus are heavily indebted to the feature films for both influence and inspiration, but it isn’t clear yet if Lucasfilm’s theatrical division has any intention of returning the favor.
The Mandalorian brought in Luke Skywalker for a fan-baiting Season 2 cameo, The Book of Boba Fett marks the solo debut for a character who debuted in The Empire Strikes Back, Ahsoka Tano made her first appearance in the theatrical Star Wars: The Clone Wars before becoming a fixture of the animated universe, Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place in between George Lucas’ two trilogies, Andor acts as a prequel to Rogue One and Lando Calrissian has featured in both the original and sequel trilogies as well as Anthology entry Solo, which leaves just The Acolyte and Rangers of the New Republic as streaming exclusives that don’t lean heavily on the films.
However, we’ve heard from our sources – the same one who told us Ahsoka was coming to Disney Plus in The Mandalorian long before Rosario Dawson’s casting was announced – that Katee Sachoff’s Bo-Katan could end up making the jump to the big screen, although further details remain unclear for now.
The character has become a firm fan favorite across both live-action and animation Star Wars adventures, and there are currently three movies in development from Patty Jenkins, Kevin Feige and Taika Waititi respectively, so there’s plenty of scope for Bo-Katan to show up in a galaxy far, far away’s next batch of cinematic efforts. It looks like she could have an important arc in The Mandalorian‘s third season, though, but after that we should have a much better idea of what the future holds, while Sackhoff is certainly well-versed in the action and sci-fi genres, so she’d acquit herself just fine.
