Ahsoka's Jaw-Dropping Surprise: An Epic Reunion with a Revenge of the Sith Character

The upcoming Ahsoka show will feature a key character from Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, although only for a brief appearance. Several beloved characters from Star Wars Rebels and a few from The Mandalorian have already been confirmed to make a comeback in Ahsoka. The return of characters from the movies adds even more excitement, particularly for a character who has gained significant prominence throughout the Star Wars timeline.

In a special interview with DiscussingFilm, Genevieve O'Reilly, the actress who portrays Mon Mothma, shared insights about her experience filming Ahsoka and hinted at the extent of her screen time.

Receiving the opportunity to collaborate with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni was both fascinating and surprising. It was truly thrilling for me to join them briefly and witness their brilliance as filmmakers. Being a huge fan of Rosario Dawson, I admire her as a formidable woman and talented actor. Their vision for this project is sure to be incredibly exciting. Additionally, working with the wonderful actor Mary Elizabeth Winstead was an amazing experience. However, this information also brings up an important question.

Mon Mothma Seems To Only Have A Brief Appearance In Ahsoka

Mon Mothma's appearance in Ahsoka will be limited to just a minute, similar to her reduced role in the past. Initially cast in Revenge of the Sith, O'Reilly's character worked alongside Bail Organa and other influential Senators to establish the Rebel Alliance's foundation. Unfortunately, this subplot was eventually cut from the final film. Nonetheless, O'Reilly had the opportunity to portray Mon Mothma again in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars Rebels. While Andor provided Mon Mothma with more screen time, it seems that she will have a smaller role in Ahsoka.

Nevertheless, the significance of O'Reilly's one-minute appearance must be noteworthy if Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni requested her return. Ahsoka essentially serves as the fifth season of Star Wars Rebels, where Mon Mothma was also a secondary character. Therefore, it's understandable that the focus remains on Ahsoka and her core allies as they confront Grand Admiral Thrawn and various new adversaries. O'Reilly is certain to shine once again in the upcoming Andor season 2 in 2024. It will be a pleasant sight to see Mon Mothma in Ahsoka, even if her appearance is brief.
