\nWho knew playing the Star Wars universe's most revered animated hero would create such a bond in stars Ashley Eckstein and Rosario Dawson? Both play the ronin Jedi Ahsoka Tano. Eckstein originally played the character providing her voice in the franchise's animated universe since the character's debut in 2008's The Clone Wars, with her most recent in Tales of the Jedi. Dawson plays the character's live-action counterpart, making her debut in The Mandalorian season two.
Eckstein's path with the character has been robust since Tales of the Jedi allowed her to revisit the character's much humbler beginnings, from Ahsoka's birth to her recruitment to the Jedi Order to start her training. The Clone Wars focused on her time from adolescence to adulthood. Rebels saw her return from exile given the Emperor's ongoing Order 66 Jedi purge, but able to help the freedom fighters of the rebellion. Dawson also posted on Twitter about their meeting.
