Reflecting on filming her scenes as Ahsoka Tano for Disney+’s The Mandalorian, Rosario Dawson revealed Star Wars creator George Lucas himself was on the set to see her in action.

“I actually got to be there on the day that there’s that photo,” Dawson told Vanity Fair, referring to a January photo of Lucas holding the Grogu puppet. “Someone took a picture of George Lucas holding Baby Yoda. I’m still calling him Baby Yoda—Grogu! I was there that day. I was all dressed up, I was just off to the side of that photo, all done up as Ahsoka. And I remember it broke the internet when that picture came out. It was just an amazing, amazing moment, and we were all beside ourselves. It was definitely very ‘geek out.’”

“I was definitely nerve-racked, and it was great to be there with him and Dave,” she continued. “I mean, it’s a lot of pressure. But it was also really fun. Both of them were looking at me but they weren’t, you know what I mean? They were looking at their imaginations come to life.”

The Mandalorian and the Child continue their journey, facing enemies and rallying allies as they make their way through a dangerous galaxy in the tumultuous era after the collapse of the Galactic Empire.

Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers and Giancarlo Esposito. New episodes arrive Fridays on Disney+.
