The Mandalorianmade waves seemingly by its very nature during its most recent season, where several characters fromStar Wars: The Clone Wars, including Katee Sackhoff’s Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze, made their live-action debuts. But Sackhoff thinks the show, andStar Warsin general, shouldn’t stop there.
During an interview at Topps WinterCon, the actress spoke about theStar Warscharacters she’s grown fond of over the years as well as her wishes to see more of them make the move from animation to live-action. Having voiced Bo-Katan onThe Clone Warsfor years and now getting to perform the character on-screen, Sackhoff has really gotten a feel for her role and would love to not only see more of her but other favorite characters from throughout the animated series as well. WithThe Clone Warsspawningits own spinoffs likeThe Bad Batch, perhaps anything’s possible.

“I think I would love to see some stuff with Pre Vizsla,” she mentioned as one possibility. Pre Vizsla is well known among fans ofThe Clone Warsas the Mandalorian who overthrew the pacifist regime on his home planet of Mandalore, only to be struck down by his former comrade Maul after attempting to turn against him. Vizsla was in possession ofthe weapon known as the Darksaberduring this time, which currently looks to be an important piece of the ongoing story onThe Mandalorian.So while it would be impossible to feature Viszla in anything set after the time ofThe Clone Wars, a backstory could add some important context to the current storylines.
Sackhoff also expressed interest in seeing Satine Kryze, sister of Bo-Katan and former Duchess of Mandalore, as well as Maul himself. “I love Maul, I think he’s constantly coming back to life anyway. He’s a really hard guy to kill, so you never know,” she said, floating the idea ofMaul making another more current appearance, in defiance of his death shown inStar Wars Rebels. Sackhoff generally pointed to the idea of showing Bo-Katan’s backstory, which would incorporate most of these characters.
Disney has shown that they seem to be in favor of exploring backstories for variousStar Warscharacters, and as seen with their upcoming set ofnew projects set in the “High Republic” era, they aren’t afraid of diving into the past. So, a series giving some extra depth to Bo-Katan, who is already a complex character that doesn’t necessarily fight for the good guys, could go a long way in adding new dimensions to the franchise.
However things go, it’s always exciting to see more of Sackhoff’s work andgiven howThe Mandalorianis going right now, there looks to be a good amount of that on the way. So, maybe Disney will see her popularity and decide to take fans on an adventure into Mandalore’s history.
The Mandalorianis now available on Disney Plus.
