Much like our own galaxy, the Star Wars Universe is ever-expanding. Since Disney+’s launch in 2019, several contemporary classic Star Wars characters have jumped from animated series to live-action adaptations, most recently with the Rebels cast.
Before then, The Mandalorian brought to life a few characters from the iconic Clone Wars animated television series, mainly the Mandalorian ruler herself, Bo-Katan Kryze, with actress Katee Sackhoff reprising her role. It wasn’t the easiest feat adapting animation legend Genndy Tartakovsk’s distinctive art style and shaping it for a live-action series. Still, executive producer Dave Filoni had specific ideas to bring her into the fold.
