What movies and TV shows has ‘Ahsoka’ star Natasha Liu Bordizzo been in?

Ahsoka is the latest show in the Star Wars franchise to drop on Disney Plus, and it’s already a hit with audiences. While Rosario Dawson is gathering most of the attention for her portrayal of the titular character, fellow cast members are also getting their well-deserved chance to shine. Natasha Liu Bordizzo is one of them.

The actress plays Sabine Wren in the miniseries, Ahsoka’s former apprentice, a role that marks Bordizzo’s very first appearance in the Star Wars universe. Naturally, this means many fans of the franchise aren’t familiar with her work, with Ahsoka being their introduction to the actress. And what happens when you see an artist do a good job in a piece of media that you enjoy? You get curious and start wondering what other projects they have been on. Who knows, maybe some will make it onto your watch list.

Despite the fact that many are only getting to know Bordizzo now, the actress has been on the screen since 2016, with her first credited role being for the portrayal of Snow Vase in the American-Chinese movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny. Since then, the actress has appeared in seven other feature-length projects, namely, The Greatest Showman, Detective Chinatown 2, Hotel Mumbai, Guns Akimbo, The Naked Wanderer, The Voyeurs, and Day Shift. She has also lent her talents to short films like On That Night… While We Dream in 2017 and Armour in 2018.

If you think Bordizzo is only an actress, though, you should think again. Being on screen seems to be her biggest passion, that’s for sure, but over the years, Bordizzo has tried her hand at voice acting. So far, she has been involved in two animated projects — Wish Dragon, as the voice of Li Na, and Heroes of the Golden Masks, as Li.

As for TV appearances, there isn’t much to say, unfortunately, as Ahsoka is only the third show that Bordizzo has been a part of. However, some may recognize the actress from Netflix’s 2019 teen drama The Society, where Bordizzo played Helena, one of the main characters. The series received favorable reviews from critics and became dear to many viewers, but was axed after only one season. Sadly, Netflix subscribers are way too used to dealing with that, though.

If The Society doesn’t really match your vibe and you’d like to give another Bordizzo show a shot, try the action thriller Most Dangerous Game, in which the actress appears in the role of the hunter Kennedy. There’s quite a fair share of options, so there’s no doubt that something will spark your interest.

‘Ahsoka’ resurrects a legendary ‘Star Wars’ staple ‘Rise of Skywalker’ did its best to kill off for good

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has a lot to answer for, from doing its best to torpedo the entire Skywalker saga to tainting the legacy of the franchise by spawning multiple memes inspired by its cringiest moments. One of its more underrated crimes, however, is how J.J. Abrams’ Episode IX did its utmost to ruin that iconic Star Wars trope that reduces millions to giddy children whenever they see it: the opening crawl.

Infamously, Rise of Skywalker‘s crawl kicks off with the terrible opening line “The dead speak!” which is on a par with “Somehow, Palpatine returned” for TROS‘s worst moments. For many years there, it seemed Lucasfilm might be permanently retiring the opening crawl out of sheer embarrassment as we hadn’t seen the franchise fixture used in any subsequent Star Wars project since 2019. Thankfully, though, Disney Plus’ latest series from the galaxy far, far away has just rescued the crawl by restoring it to its former glory.

Yes, Ahsoka‘s pilot episode begins with the nostalgic use of an opening crawl, the very first time a Star Wars series has utilized the storytelling device which allows the audience to be brought up to speed and still start the narrative in media res. Even The Mandalorian has never contained a crawl, not even in its own first episode. It’s curious that Ahsoka received this honor, then, when it’s more about continuing the legacy of Star Wars on TV rather than the movies, unlike say Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Perhaps it’s just as simple as Lucasfilm knowing that fans missed the opening crawl and desperately needed another one to wash away the lingering bad taste of Rise of Skywalker‘s. Whatever happens next in the saga’s uncertain cinematic future, thankfully we can say the last Star Wars crawl definitely doesn’t begin with “The dead speak!”

‘No one wanted to have lunch with me’: Tobin Bell on the amusingly sad reality of filming the first ‘Saw’ movie

Unsurprisingly, the cast and crew of the original Saw film were unwilling to sit and have lunch with Jigsaw himself.

In a video shared by the official Saw Twitter account, Tobin Bell is kind enough to give us a tour of the original bathroom, “where it all began” and in which most of the first movie took place. He gives us a few details about what filming the first movie was like whilst reminiscing on the old times from the first film, remember when that guy had to chop off his own leg with a blunt handsaw? Yep, those were the days Tobin, those were the days.

nothing beats our bathroom. https://t.co/43H4Ck2PGc pic.twitter.com/6z1Y8wVyeb

If your memories are a little fuzzy you may not remember the details, but Bell pretty much spends the whole film lying on the ground in a pool of blood, “for most of that film, I lay right here on my face, with only a 357. Magnum in one hand, and a tape recorder in the other, and half of my head blown off.” In the end, it’s revealed that not only was his character alive the whole time, but he was actually the madman who imprisoned the two main characters in the room.

Bell goes into more detail as to what it was like wearing the gruesome makeup on his face, giving the kind of funny but kind of sad anecdote of what his lunches were like on set. 

“No one wanted to have lunch with me, on any day I would sit down, I was so ugly looking and covered with blood, so I would eat alone in my dressing room”

The whole video is strangely wholesome considering it’s coming from a man who plays one of the most terrifying and twisted movie serial killers of all time. Fans commented on how Tobin Bell seemed to be the exact opposite of Jigsaw with his soothing demeanor putting them at ease. Some compared his tour of the bathroom to Alfred Hitchcock‘s trailer for Psycho. His observations and recollections regarding the franchise only served to further endear him to his fans.

He’s so cute lol

please, we need more of tobin bell explaining saw mythos to us, this made my day

TELL TOBIN I LOVE HIM PLEASEEEE PLEASE

Fans even offered to have lunch with him.

tobin u are invited to eat lunch with me friend

now why would they make tobin eat alone

Hopefully, Tobin didn’t have to eat any lunches alone whilst filming Saw X, the latest installment in the ever-expanding franchise. However, it looks like he’s got some pretty devoted fans that would sit with him regardless. 

Saw X is set to hit theaters Sep. 29.
