"I think that there is a little piece of Bo-Katan that I don't think you see coming," Sackhoff teased. "She's got something else going on in her mind and everything she does is purposeful. And I think that is new for her. She's grown into the role of a leader, and she finally believes she is a leader. And there is an ego that comes with being a leader that may or may not work against her.""Bo-Katan has a scar on her face and I was really attached to that," she added. "I was really attached to her freckles. I was really attached to how her eyebrows point down in just the weirdest way, where it was finding the animated version of it which was a bit cartoonish in the sense that they go down at such a point, and then translating that onto a real person and making sure it didn't look cartoonish."
Sackhoff avoided dropping any spoilers about her character's storyline in The Mandalorian but she did acknowledge that she has a "story" with Moff Gideon and that she, like the fans, wants to know what happened with the Darksaber. She also teased her "history" with Ahsoka Tano, another character who played a key role in both the Clone Wars and the early years of the Rebel Alliance.
"I love the character from [Star Wars: The] Clone Wars and [Star Wars] Rebels so I would love to see her," Sackhoff said about Ahsoka, though she wouldn't confirm the Rosario Dawson casting rumours for The Mandalorian. "There's a lot of history with those two. There's a lot of story there. There's a lot of comradery and respect, but there's also a lot of pain and distrust. So we'll see what happens."In our review of Chapter 11 - The Heiress, we called Sackhoff's live-action introduction to Bo-Katan Kryze "pitch-perfect," saying that her "commanding on-screen presence" made the newest Mandalorians (including WWE Superstar Sasha Banks - aka Mercedes Varnado - as Koska Reeves and Simon Kassianides as Axe Woves) "an immediate force to be reckoned with."
