TV Discussion The Ahsoka Tano Mega Thread Power Hour

I've read RR and I don't remember him literally blaming Ahsoka for Steela's death. Was it more like he suggested that she could've done more to save her? It's not like Ahsoka pushed her off the cliff.

 

Yeah that's right. Of course he didn't actually see Ahsoka saving her with the Force until the droid ship crashed and she lost her concentration.

 

I think Dave will slip the Sabine/Ahsoka hints in the TV Show.. and then we'll get that show in 2020 I can dream.

 

This cosplay is amazing; and I thought Ashley looked great when she dressed up with makeup as Ahsoka.

I'll just leave this here.

I would think that's likely. However, I would like to see Ahsoka's story continue in animation. But I'm fine with a reference in Mandalorian.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree about Ahsoka knowing Anakin and Padmé were married as soon as she met them. It seems a lot more likely that she became suspicious of their relationship over time until at some point (I'd wager during season 4 or 5) there was no doubt in her mind they were more than friends ; that she would know they were actually married is also not sure at all.

 

I'd say her suspicions were up by the end of Season 1. Specifically the Nuvo Vindi incident where on about three different occasions, Anakin addresses her as "Havuseenpadme" instead of "Ahsoka" and Padme does the "Goodbye, Anakin, I..." with Ahsoka right next to her.

 

Figured I’d bring this up.

I bumped into Ashley at comic con, talked for a little bit, then before I walked away said something like “looking forward to seeing you as badass Jedi Queen Ahsoka post-ROTJ” and she said something like “I hope so, keeping my fingers crossed!” So take that for what you will.

 

You could certainly take that for what you will; considering Ahsoka herself didn't acknowledge that she was a Jedi anymore. Maybe Ashley hopes that at some point in the post-ROTJ setting Ahsoka is recognized as a Jedi once again.

CBR: How does it feel to be back?

Eckstein: Oh my gosh, it's surreal to be back! You know, [it's] the 10th anniversary and I have to say it's something that I didn't think was possible. So the fact that I can say, "Clone Wars saved" on the 10th anniversary of the show is pretty surreal.

Have you started recording yet?

We're currently recording. That's all I can say! [laughs] So it's coming to the Disney streaming service. And that's about it. But, you know, I can promise -- obviously, Dave Filoni is a part of it and he's done his best to bring back a lot of the key people that were a part of the show, pretty much all the cast members and then also some of the main crew members. The stories are incredible, the people are incredible and anything that Dave Filoni touches is going to be amazing.


We've seen Ahsoka as a young girl in Clone Wars and then as a much older woman in Rebels. How has your approach to voicing her changed now that we've kind of hit her at another age entirely?

Well, it's so funny because, after Clone Wars and when I jumped into Rebels, it was actually pretty hard for me to do Rebels Ahsoka because she was that much older and she was a whole lot more like Obi-Wan rather than Ahsoka from Clone Wars. She was more of the mentor now, the teacher, and so it took me a while to get into that role, and then now I have to go back to Clone Wars, so I have to unlearn everything that I learned and that place I went to for Rebels Ahsoka and go back to Clone Wars Ahsoka and really, I mean, this is after she walks down those steps. So, you know, she's still around the same age, so age-wise I know I can -- because I would change my voice according to her age -- so age-wise I kind of know I can get my voice back there, but she's also in a different place because she just left the Jedi Order and she's dealing with all those thoughts and emotions and questions of, like, "What happens next?"

How does the dynamic between Ahsoka and Anakin change?

That's a great question! I don't know the answer to that. [laughs]

Have you been recording solo or as an ensemble?

You know, actually, with Star Wars, we've always taken the ensemble approach. So I love that about Clone Wars and Rebels. From day one, it's been really important for Dave and the rest of the team to record it like an old radio drama and to all be there in person, so it's incredible. We come together for cast records and we're able to really kind of build that camaraderie, which -- for us, after working together for so long -- we've become like family.

Has this season presented any new challenges for you?

No! I mean, so far, like I said, it's just kind of going back to that Clone Wars place and making sure my voice sounds younger, because now she's -- what? -- probably like 16 vs. in Rebels, she was in her mid-30s. So yeah, just kind of going back to those teenage years and obviously in Rebels we saw that Ahsoka finds out that Anakin is Darth Vader and so we obviously see where their relationship goes.

Is there anything you would like to say to Clone Wars fans in light of the seventh season renewal?

Well, I just want to say thank you. I mean, thank you to all the fans who kept the dream alive, I guess you could say with #SaveTheCloneWars. I have to say I'm one of those people that I believe the possible is possible and kind of never give up hope. Star Wars taught me to always have hope. But I think maybe I was too close to it, because Clone Wars coming back was the one thing that I thought would never happen. I have to say, you know, thanks to the fans for never giving up hope, because they never did! It was like literally a couple times a week I would see Tweets from fans saying, "Save The Clone Wars" and I was like "Aww, that's nice, but I don't think it's going to happen." And then, when I got the call and they said that it was coming back, I couldn't believe it! I was like, "Oh my gosh, the impossible is becoming possible!" and then to see #CloneWarsSaved. I have to give the credit to the fans, because the fans never gave up.

 

Ashley is such a geek at heart; ya gotta love her. Even in an unscripted interview she could flawlessly paraphrase a familiar SW expression without a second's notice.

 

I love her aha she's one of the many great people within the star wars family and here's to hoping more from her After TCW

 

Guys. Do you see what I see?

Audio files for the worst Star Wars character?

 

I see a list of files from... I don't know what, a video game probably? Without context it's hard to know.

 

EA Star Wars Battlefront 2, a video game

 

Well, I'm glad that they didn't also forget about Padme, it would have been ridiculous to bring Ahsoka before a movie lead character, no matter anyone's personal feelings about that character.

 

I don't see what's so bad about Padme. I thought she was fine. And Jar Jar isn't in that list.

 

Sorry, I was referring to Grievous.
