Because there was no casting. Dawson was literally fan-cast, because Filoni saw a picture of her with Hayden from the early 2000's on Twitter. That's it. That's how she got the role. He thought it was "will of the Force", or some shit. No one else was even considered. I remember from the interviews when Mando S2 came out, Filoni said he was even okay with live-action Ahsoka not having blue eyes, if contacts were too uncomfortable for Dawson. Filoni just went full retard mode. For the life of me, I don't understand what the fuck he saw in her beyond surface level, vague resemblance in certain facial features.
