42 minutes is basically current commercial television timeslot time. I would guess several writers are trained to do the story within the 42 minutes (roughly 42 page screenplay if I remember correctly). While that's not needed for a streaming environment, I suppose they designed these episodes in a way...just in case they need to put it on TV, they won't have editing issues, like older shows that were designed for timeslots that has less commercials (Star Trek, in 1967 was I believe 50 minutes long, with 10 minutes of commercials. Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine were 45 to 47 minutes long. Voyager started to go from 45 to 42, and Enterprise started to be reduced to 42 minutes. very early on, if I remember correctly.
Cartoons in a half hour timeslot were 22 minute shows for a while. I think it may be down to 20 minutes...maybe less. Some anime are designed for 22 minute time slots, but some episodes can go up to 27 minutes long. They can do this because late night anime in Japan is not technically commercial television. It is more like an infomercial for the anime itself, other anime, and related merchandise, since the merch is what gets the show back the costs...due to them having traditional commercial backing via sponsors advertising. This is also why direct from the source anime BD are really expensive (before their economy fell around 2014, it wasn't unheard of to have a BD with only four episodes on the disc that cost $100 USD). This is how shows make their money back.

We've been hearing rumors like this for a while.
At this point, it's tough to know whether this has now become truth or if it's simply more rumor.

If any truth, I could actually see that.
I find it very hard to believe
Excerpt for the 3 ST: D episodes that clocked in at 32, 34 and 35 minutes.
Seriously doubt they'd dub over Rosario Dawson. Lots of voices change from live-action to animation, so it's no biggie.
Perhaps the bigger question is: If Ahsoka shows up, could Sabine Wren be far behind? In fact with this being a show about, you know, Mandalorians, it's quite possible that Sabine is actually the catalyst for Ahsoka showing up.

This is basically perfect.
Wow, seven years ago Temis the Vorta called it in this thread! An impressive premonition.

It will be interesting to hear Ashley's reaction to this. Support I'm sure, but I wonder what it would have been like if they'd cast her...

I was gonna call Slashfilm's bluff on this and cry BS, but with Variety also weighing in with its own confirmation, my reaction is "hmm".
Personally, I think Ashley Eckstein should've been given this chance, but Rosario Dawson isn't a bad choice if you're going to let someone else step into Ahsoka's head-tails and face markings.

There's been live-action Traguta before.
Also, is Sabine next?
