Ahsoka’s shocking cameo is much less stunning than you assume

Considered one of Dave Filoni’s favourite occasion tips with Ahsoka is bringing again much-loved characters. We have now Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, Ezra Bridger, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and even Hayden Christensen reprising his prequel trilogy position as Anakin Skywalker.

However there was one Star Wars cameo in Ahsoka episode 7 which got here as one thing of a shock to viewers, and that was the looks of one of many greatest Star Wars droids, C-3PO. Whereas the character has appeared in just about the entire Star Wars films so as, it appeared to make little sense plot-wise for Anthony Daniels to reprise his position within the Star Wars forged because the lovable droid. However his look within the Star Wars collection could be much less shocking than you understand.

For individuals who haven’t seen the most recent installment of one of the best TV collection of the 12 months, C-3PO appeared within the opening of Ahsoka’s seventh episode, with the cameo even marking the primary time he’d spoken in one of many live-action Disney Plus exhibits.

However in some ways, his look in Ahsoka was inevitable. In addition to displaying up in the most effective animated collection, The Clone Wars (voiced by Anthony Daniels, after all), the character may be seen within the background of the Obi-Wan Kenobi collection.

So, if you concentrate on it, C-3PO’s cameo was much less a matter of ‘why’, and extra of a matter of ‘when.’ We’ll be extremely shocked if he doesn’t present up in The Mandalorian season 4 or the brand new Star Wars film directed by Dave Filoni, too. We simply hope that he’ll be joined by our favourite droid and the most effective Star Wars characters, R2-D2 as effectively.
