Ahsoka Has Finally Found Its Live-Action Sabine Wren

According to Deadline, Disney execs have decided to go with Australian star Natasha Liu Bordizzo for their version of Sabine Wren. The animated version had been played by Tiya Sircar, who has a few on-screen acting credits but mainly does voice work — most recently on "The Simpsons" (via IMDb).  

Bordizzo is best known for her projects with Netflix, which include major roles in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny" (2016) and "The Society" (2019). She's been part of the supporting cast in a number of American movies and some international flicks, including "The Greatest Showman" and "Detective Chinatown 2," which is one of the highest-grossing Chinese films of all time (via Box Office Mojo). 

Sources told Deadline that Wren is expected to be one of several "key characters" to be featured in the "Ahsoka" series. One of the biggest rumored names is none other than Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker, who trained Ahsoka Tano in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." Disney is reportedly looking to start shooting "Ahsoka" in March 2022.
