Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano in animation, spoke to ComicBook.com about the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka and Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, about how excited she is to see the character’s fanbase continue to grow.
“I think I’m just excited for more Ahsoka, because Ahsoka is a character that is so universally loved and celebrated by everyone, and by all of Star Wars fandom,” Eckstein explained while chatting with ComicBook.com about the upcoming Her Universe Fashion Show, which will be held during this month’s San Diego Comic-Con. “Everyone loves Ahsoka. She just represents all that is good. She represents all that is light and all that is hopeful. I’m just excited for more stories, because she means so much to people. This is a character that is changing lives and saving lives. I say that as a fact, because as the voice of Ahsoka, I am constantly out there at conventions and events and even online. Pretty much on a daily basis, I get a personal story of how Ahsoka has either changed someone’s life or saved someone’s life. There’s very few characters that do that.”
“So, as with more stories with Ahsoka, that means more people are going to be introduced to her, and more people are going to go back and watch Clone Wars and watch Rebels and watch The Mandalorian and watch the new live action Ahsoka series or watch Tales of the Jedi,” Eckstein continued. “And she’s going to touch so many more lives. That’s so important, because our fandom, these stories, they change people. I’m just honored to be a part [of it]. A member of team Tano, a member of this team, of this character that just touches so many lives. And so, I’m just excited. It’s an exciting time to be an Ahsoka fan.”
