Editors – Dana E. Glauberman ACE, James D. Wilcox ACE and Rosanne Tan ACE

AHSOKA editors Dana E. Glauberman ACE, James D. Wilcox ACE and Rosanne Tan ACE worked together for the very first time to help bring to life the story of Anakin Skywalker's former apprentice.  Although none of the three describe themselves as experts on the Star Wars universe, it's their gifts as storytellers that led Dave Filoni to trust them with his latest entry in the saga.

Set after the fall of the Empire, AHSOKA follows the former Jedi knight, Ahsoka Tano, as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.

DANA E. GLAUBERMAN ACE

When she's not lending her editorial talents to the Star Wars universe, Dana is cutting films like GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE, CREED II, UP IN THE AIR and JUNO.  AHSOKA marks Dana's third tour of duty for Lucasfilm, having been part of the editorial crew for THE MANDALORIAN - S1 and THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT.

JAMES D. WILCOX ACE

A frequent collaborator with director Ron Howard, James cut Howard's adaptation of the book HILLBILLY ELEGY as well as his documentary THIRTEEN LIVES.  Unlike most feature editors who started their journey in post as an assistant, James actually started out as a full-time editor working in news and sports.  This is James' third appearance on The Rough Cut.

ROSANNE TAN ACE

Like Dana, Rosanne Tan ACE makes her 4th appearance on The Rough Cut!  Prior to AHSOKA, Rosanne was making her mark with another Disney studio, cutting Marvel's HAWKEYE and THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER.  Before her tour of duty with Disney, Rosanne was editing tv shows that featured action, intrigue and high drama; notably MR. ROBOT and HOMECOMING.
