Sackhoff will be the first female Mandalorian warrior we’ve seen on not only the show but the Star Wars franchise in general. Her episode, set to air midway through the Cartoon Network series’ fourth season, reunites Padawan Ahsoka Tano with her Separatist friend Lux, who’s renounced Count Dooku’s galaxy spanning war against the Republic.

To oppose Dooku, Lux has sought refuge with the Death Watch, a Mandalorian terrorist group. In case you’ve forgotten your Expanded Universe lore, the Mandalorians are the helmeted warrior race that spawned Jango and Boba Fett. When last seen, the Death Watch were led by a platinum-haired militant voiced by Jon Favreau, who will be returning to the Lucasfilm series this season as a Big Bad.

That looks (very) interesting.

Her helmet reminds me of the Republic Senate Guard (the blue ones). Can't wait for S4.

It’s curious that the character isn’t named. (Is she “Ambu Fett?”).

I can't see it on there now but a few months ago Play.com were advertising a macquette of a female character in Mandalorian armour with the surname Visla. Could she be John Fav's character's daughter/wife perhaps?

Katee Sackhoff certainly is a nice addition to the cast of CW and looking forward to seeing some decent Death Watch involvement in the storylines.

They revealed her name. It's Bo-Katan. Here's the proof:

Could be better, I think
