Natasha Liu Bordizzo Is Game And Ready For Sabine Wren’s Debut InAhsokaSeries
In an interview withComicBook, Natasha Liu Bordizzo discussed the rigorous training and intense preparation she had to undertake to gear up for the role:
“It took a very long time. It took months and months, and I’m so glad we had the time because it would have sucked to come in late and then attempt to rush to be at the level that I wanted to be at. So, it took a long time and I think that the hardest part was probably just doing it justice because you just don’t want it to not be anything but awesome. So, reaching that level physically takes its time.”
Bordizzo is also enthusiastic about reprising the role if the series become a successful franchise and renewed for future sequels:
“If we get Season 2, I’m training from now, the minute it’s announced, that I’ll be like back in that, I love it.”
Joining the cast ofAhsokameant a lot for the actress. She shared during last year’s official announcement of the series at theStar Wars Celebration(viaThe Pop Verse):
“I feel like I’ve been adopted into a new family. I feel like that with everyone I work with but also the fans. I have never experienced anything like this. I know how much Sabine means to a lot of people in this room, and watching Rebels, she’s come to mean a hell of a lot to me too. I think you guys are going to be really excited about the journey she’s about to have.”
Aside from Dawson and Bordizzo, the show will also feature Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn, David Tennant as Huyang, Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, Ray Stevenson as Baylin, and Ivanna Sakhno as Shin.
