Ashley Eckstein Urges Everyone To Watch As Much Of Ahsoka As They Can!
The San Diego Comic Con is in full swing, bringing in celebrities from different fandoms to one central place. Of course, the Star Wars fandom is well represented.
Among those there is Ashley Eckstein, the beloved voice actress for the character of Ahsoka Tano in The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and, most recently, Tales of the Jedi. While Ashley did not make the jump from animated to live-action Ahsoka, she is very excited about the character that she helped bring to life at the helm of her own show.

As Ashley prepared for the Her Universe Fashion Show that took place on Thursday, July 20, at the Manchest Grand Hyatt, she took the time to talk to Laura Hurley at Cinemablend about the new series. In her interview, Ashley had advice for the fans waiting for the Ahsoka series to drop:
“I actually recommend to everyone who is excited about the upcoming Ahsoka series, I highly recommend that you take the time to watch Clone Wars, and watch Star Wars Rebels, and even Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. Because if you don’t, you’re going to miss out on crucial, crucial backstory that you really need to know to fully enjoy the Ahsoka series, which is so exciting.
And then Clone Wars and Rebels and even Tales of the Jedi in general… You know, at some point, most Star Wars fans go back and watch the movies. They watch Episodes IV, V, and VI, and I, II and III. Well now, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, they’re a part of that timeline. It’s part of the story. It’s part of the overall trajectory and journey of these characters, so without watching those series, you’re kind of missing out. They’re all connected. I highly recommend that fans watch them.”
So, what are we waiting for? With a month left before Ahsoka drops on Disney + on August 23, it still gives us time to binge all of The Clone Wars, and these episodes of Star Wars Rebels:
