The galaxy far, distant has new tales obtainable for Star Wars followers with a Disney+ subscription within the 2025 TV schedule, with the discharge of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Items of the Previous. The four-part animated sequence recruited a few of the greatest names from the franchise to affix the solid, together with Ashley Eckstein, who has been voicing Ahsoka Tano going again to the earliest days of The Clone Wars. The actress spoke with CinemaBlend about what she at all times hoped to do on Clone Wars and mentioned with govt producer Dave Filoni.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy was Eckstein’s first alternative to reprise her position as Ahsoka Tano since Rosario Dawson took over the character in live-action. She shared that Dave Filoni had promised her that she would “at all times be the voice of Ahsoka in animation,” and was understandably emotional when she received the decision about Rebuild the Galaxy. That is to not say that the LEGO Star Wars model of Ahsoka is similar because the one whose life was getting progressively worse as every season of The Clone Wars handed.
So, I needed to ask Eckstein after we spoke in regards to the 2025 Her Universe Style Present: does LEGO Ahsoka get to be any funnier than Clone Wars Ahsoka did by the top of her journey? Eckstein laughed and defined:
That is truly a very nice query, as a result of I at all times needed Ahsoka to snort, and that was a relentless dialog between me and Dave Filoni within the studio. I used to be like, ‘Does Ahsoka get to snort this episode?’ As a result of I am at all times laughing. And Dave would at all times [call] it my ‘cuteness,’ as a result of I used to be at all times guffawing and laughing. And earlier than each episode, he’d say, ‘All proper, Snips. Ball up your cuteness and throw it out of the studio.’ And I am like, ‘However why? When is Ahsoka gonna get to snort?’
Poor Ahsoka wasn’t wanting too cute or doing a lot smiling on the finish of the Clone Wars sequence finale again in 2020, what with solely her, Rex, and (as she would later have confirmed) Maul surviving Order 66 from the ship she’d been on. Even the passage of time between the top of Clone Wars and her first appearances in Star Wars Rebels wasn’t sufficient to make her do a complete lot of smiling. She’d left “Snips” behind. However Clone Wars canon did not have to use for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy!
All 4 episodes of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Items of the Previous are at the moment obtainable streaming on Disney+, and Eckstein teased a little bit of what Ahsoka brings to the animated sequence. She advised me:
I’ll say that this sequence does carry the laughs. I do not know if we’re getting them by way of Ahsoka, however she has a very true to kind to Ahsoka, a very inspiring storyline that may resonate with all of us. As I say, Ahsoka lives in all of us. Regardless that Ahsoka is in a galaxy far, distant, all of us see ourselves in Ahsoka, and what she goes by way of on this sequence, I believe we’re all going to narrate to.
Humorous or not, Ahsoka has clearly remained expensive to Eckstein’s coronary heart even years after the top of The Clone Wars, together with some phrases of knowledge about how “Ahsoka lives in all of us,” and he or she even had a message for followers earlier than the premiere of Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka sequence. Now, almost 20 years after she first voiced the longer term fan favourite, she nonetheless has new technique of voicing Ahsoka Tano.
