Rosario Dawson, who plays the title character in Ahsokarecently spoke about the star Wars Show’s inclusion of the World Between Worlds and explained why she did not see it as fan service. The World Between Worlds is an interesting place in star Warsbecause it essentially allows time travel. That is why Hayden Christensen could return as Anakin Skywalker, although Ahsoka takes place years after the prequel trilogy of star Wars Films in the star Wars Timeline. While the World Between Worlds was a great moment in AhsokaSome accused the film of being fanservice, a claim that Rosario Dawson has just refuted.

Screen Rant is a media partner at Fan Expo Canada, and during a panel with Jo Deckelmeier, Rosario Dawson talked about the world between worlds, how much she enjoyed those scenes and why it wasn’t fanservice to put them in Ahsoka.

“I was really blown away that we were going to have the world between worlds. It was actually one of the few things we filmed that we didn’t really get to see, we didn’t shoot that on volume, so to watch it myself afterwards and see how they pulled it out of the animation… That was one of the coolest things.”

And that jab that he makes that leads to Clone Wars? I just thought that was so brilliant because you got to see Anakin in a different guise at that time, and Ahsoka too, and for fans of the animation it was so cool to see that highlighted, and also amazing how young she was. But for people who didn’t know, it was a wonderful introduction to her story, and it said so much in such a small moment about everything that brought her to this moment where she’s a little more stoic and reserved and reserved after going through trauma. It was just really beautiful to see that whole arc expressed.”

AhsokaThe World Between Worlds sequence was an absolute treat for long-time fans of star Wars: It brought back Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, it brought back an important concept from Star Wars Rebels in live action, and it picks up a time in Ahsoka and Anakin’s relationship that forms the basis for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It was such a treat that it’s often labeled fanservice, but Rosario Dawson’s comments explained perfectly why the sequence works on its own. From the production details she mentioned to the narrative purpose of World Between World, it really was a great way to bring joy to new fans Ahsoka to the fullest.

Ahsoka’s world between worlds was a perfect introduction to the character

Rosario Dawson’s explanation of why “World Between Worlds” wasn’t fanservice is absolutely correct. Ahsoka has a very long history in The Clone Warsand her previous experiences with Anakin Skywalker were an important part of her character in the Ahsoka showThe problem is that most people have not seen The Clone Warsso that viewers who did not know the series missed a large part of the AhsokaThe World Between Worlds solved this problem by giving new viewers just enough insight into Anakin and Ahsoka’s relationship so they didn’t feel lost.

  Conceived by the will of the Force itself, Anakin Skywalker was the prophesied Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force. Struggling to balance his conflicting ties to the Jedi Order and his wife, Padmé Amidala, Anakin eventually fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. For years he served as Palpatine’s right-hand man, but was eventually redeemed by the faith of his son, Luke Skywalker. Now a Force ghost, Anakin continues to act as an agent of balance.

AhsokaThe scenes in “World Between Worlds” were really effective in establishing the foundation for the emotional development and growth that Ahsoka went through in the series. In just a few minutes, the audience was shown that Ahsoka was Anakin’s Padawan in the Clone Wars, that Ahsoka still felt the trauma of being a child during that great war, and that she was still angry at Anakin for turning to the dark side. It was a very efficient storytelling tool, and the world between worlds was probably the most natural way to revisit so many different things that Ahsoka was built on.

The World Between Worlds was in many ways the best of both worlds. It was a kind of homage to the history of star Warsbut it also gave the franchise a chance to find new fans without forcing them to watch seven seasons of television just to understand what was going on. In fact, the World Between Worlds could be a very important part of the future of star Wars. The World Between Worlds could be the perfect way to bring fun to new viewers star Wars and remains true to established tradition, just like in Ahsoka.
