It’s a meeting many years in the making but finally, Rosario Dawson on the set of her 2023 Disney Plus show Ahsoka met with the voice of the character Ashley Eckstein, herself enjoying a return to the character in the superb Tales of the Jedi, and according to Ashley it was an exciting moment.
“I’ve been waiting to meet her for three years, and I was so excited. It was such an incredible moment.”
“I don’t wanna start a rumor. People are like, ‘She’s on the set. She played a character.’ No, it was just a set visit. So I have not filmed a cameo for the Ahsoka series.
I talk about throwing your dreams out into the universe, so it would be a dream come true if I got to do a cameo, because my background is in live action.”
Ashley also had plenty to say about the return of Ahsoka in Tales of the Jedi, a project recorded during the COVID crisis and one she hopes has enough mileage for another season at least.
“It was just incredible. You know, I never take anything for granted. Every single time I finish a project, I never think, ‘Okay, well, what’s the next one?’ I just look at it with gratitude and I’m just so happy that I still get to voice Ahsoka all these years later.
We were all in our various studios, all in different states, but the crew was there and I recorded with Matt [Lanter] and James [Arnold Tayor], so it was really special, especially during that time in COVID where we were all just craving connection.
There’s so many moments that we didn’t get to see and so many questions we have and I think this is a great way to explore those questions and answer those questions. So, we’re starting with six, but man, it would be a dream if we got to make more.”
