This Vanity Fair interview with Rosario Dawson and Dave Filoni pretty much covers everything I would have wanted it to! From how Dave feels about the transition to live action, to why he chose a burnt-out, bleak forest over the lush Endor-like planet I was expecting (basically: he lives in Northern California, alongside forest fires), to how he views Ahsoka at this point in the timeline. It even covers the allegations of a transphobic attack made against Rosario and her family. I’d still prefer definitive answers to that, but we might have to be satisfied with Rosario’s vague explanation and insistence that it never took place.
I’ve been waiting to hear from Dave and this article is it. For those like SandMTV wondering about Rosario’s makeup process, it covers that too.
