Whereas talking at Fan Expo Boston, Dawson defined that she had been requested to do one thing in Star Trek however needed to flip it down as she had simply signed on to do Ahsoka. “I might have been one in all Odo’s species, the changeling. I might have been an immortal puddle guys. Do you perceive my ache (she mentioned clenching her eyes tight). That might have been actually cool,” Dawson mentioned by way of The Telegram. “I additionally actually pushed to be a ‘Q.’ My dad.

Captain Picard all the way in which,” she mentioned. “I’ve a video of me being dressed as Ahsoka holding up the Picard Earl Grey tea bottle. One in all as of late I’ll publish it.” Maybe Dawson will get to make the leap to Star Trek someday down the highway.
