The galaxy far, far away is always expanding, and the next Star Wars series that will be available streaming with a Disney+ subscription also brings Ashley Eckstein back as Ahsoka Tano. The actress was the first to bring Ahsoka to life on screen with seven seasons of The Clone Wars, several episodes of Star Wars Rebels, and even smaller projects in the franchise like Forces of Destiny and Tales of the Jedi... all in animation. Rosario Dawson was cast to play the Star Wars fan-favorite in live-action. Now, with Eckstein finally returning as Ahsoka, she opened up about what Lucasfilm Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni promised her.
Eckstein returned to voice Ahsoka Tano for the second installment of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Past, billed as Pieces of the Past. I spoke with the actress about the Wicked-themed 2025 Her Universe Fashion Show that she co-hosted with Broadway legend Michael James Scott, and we took a slight detour to talk about Star Wars. With Rosario Dawson playing Ahsoka as a guest star in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett before the premiere of the Ahsoka solo series in 2023.
