This Is Why ‘Ahsoka’s Hera Syndulla Looks So Familiar

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla in a scene from Disney+'s 'Ahsoka.' Hera is a Twi'lek with green skin, bright blue eyes, and two long, tentacle-like appendages coming out of the back of her head and hanging behind her. She wears a brown leather aviator hat with goggles at her forehead and a brown leather bomber jacket with light brown fleece at the collar.

Ahsoka is General Hera Syndulla's first live-action Star Wars appearance, and they picked one hell of an actor for the part.
