Ahsoka Voice Actress Has Emotional Response About Star Wars Return
As she gears up for her franchise return, Ahsoka voice actor Ashley Eckstein teases the new Star Wars animated show Tales of the Jedi. Eckstein made her debut in the long-running franchise with Star Wars: The Clone Wars as Anakin Skywalker's Jedi Padawan and would continue the role through its sequel series Rebels and a vocal cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Though initially receiving poor reviews for her lackluster characterization and skimpy costume design, Ahsoka would go on to become a fan-favorite character for her evolution into a strong female character as well as helping further expand the emotional nature of Anakin's turn to the dark side.
Eckstein is returning for Tales of the Jedi, an animated collection of short stories from the Star Wars prequel trilogy era exploring Ahsoka's birth and her early life, as well as a young Count Dooku in his journey to becoming a Sith. Alongside Eckstein, the cast for the series includes the franchise returns of Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn and Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker, as well as Star Wars Battlefront II's Janina Gavankar in a new role of Pav-ti, Ahsoka's mother, and the characters Bail Organa, Mace Windu, Count Dooku, Yaddle and Ponda Baba all confirmed to appear, though no voices have been announced for the parts. Dave Filoni, creative head of the Star Wars TV world, co-created Tales of the Jedi alongside Charles Murray.
