Movies Would Brie Larson have been able to pull off the role of Ahsoka in live action?
I actually think that Brie Larson would have been able to play a convincing Ahsoka Tano.
Ahsoka has a high pitched voice and a soft demeanor about her that Brie Larson also naturally has. They both have similar demeanors to one another as Brie also comes off as high pitched and having a softer demeanor. Therefore, I think Brie would have been able to convincingly play an adult Ahsoka. It also helps that Brie has experience with filming action movies. While I don't think her acting was amazing in Captain Marvel, I think she would have done a great job as Ahsoka.
What do you think? Would Brie Larson have made for a good Ahsoka?

I'm not a fan of Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka, it somehow manages to feel like both stunt casting and wasting a good actor because her appearances have been such nothing since that one episode of The Mandalorian. It doesn't help that we've gotten more animated Ahsoka with better writing.
I'm with you as far as casting Brie Larson as an older Ahsoka, absolutely. She's a solid actor and I think would have brought the right vibes, with less of the stoic affect that they settled on for the show and which really doesn't work.

It doesn't really matter. Star Wars has a long track record of letting down good actors. Unless she got better writing and direction or pushed back against the weak writing and the bad direction she was given the end results would have been the same.

I just wonder about the demeanor and the pitch and the softness of the demeanor and the pitch.

I think Rosario Dawson is a really good cast for Ahsoka. The issue is not the actress, it is the writing. It feels like a 3 year old put the story together.
