Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson is firmly expressing her support for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Despite the anticipation surrounding the upcoming Star Wars series premiere on August 23, Dawson and her fellow actors are unable to engage in promotional activities due to the strike regulations.
During an interview with Empire Magazine, Dawson unwaveringly emphasizes her backing for the strikes and the necessary reforms required within the entertainment industry, even if it means being unable to promote her own show. See her remarks below:
"I believe that a crucial element of this fight, which makes it particularly powerful, stems from our firsthand experience of witnessing the global shutdown due to Covid. We observed everything come to a sudden halt and witnessed a swift adaptation. Therefore, the notion that we are unable to alter the status quo because it has always been that way and always will be is something that we all unanimously recognize as nonsense."
"In addition, considering the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), there are numerous aspects that warrant questioning, communication, and discussion. It is imperative that we prioritize safeguarding individuals as we move forward."
