Ahsoka Tano is a fan favorite, mostly in part to the great Ashley Eckstein. Her relationship to the character and connection to the Star Wars fanbase is unlike that of any other actor. To celebrate the return of Ahsoka to THE CLONE WARS, we reconnect with Ashley for a long, deep conversation about Ahsoka, her past, her present, and yes, even her future. Ashley talks openly about the recent rumors concerning Ashoka appearing in the upcoming season 2 of THE MANDALORIAN and shares her feelings about the support she’s received from STAR WARS fans everywhere. And, we continue our discussion/debate/argument over the rapid emergence of Rey’s Force powers throughout the Sequel Trilogy, plus, Anthony Daniels talked about THE RISE OF SKYWALKER in a recent interview and we got the highlights.

Mid workday release! It pays to be a patron. Definitely needed this

Matthew Dillingham

Damn, do I listen to this one now? Or do I finish the last 40 minutes of the one I’m on first? Lol can’t wait to listen and see what this episode has in store for us! Love you guys, keep up the phenomenal work!

Jared Duhon

How did you guys gain access to the official peeps again??? Could Dave be in the near future?? 😀

Rebel Force Radio

Here's a little secret. We were never refused access to anyone. It was OUR decision to lay low on interviews for the past year and a half or so. Filoni has become more and more inaccessible to just about anyone. He never has made himself open to regular interviews outside his history with us. Lately, we've been having a hard time reaching him but never say never.

Loved hearing Ashley on the show again. She seemed to all but confirm she was blindsided by the news.. regardless of the recasting aspect , that alone makes me sad for her and not as excited for it in general. That interview perfectly explains why she is Ahsoka and this isn’t just a random character that is being recast. It’s bigger than that. I don’t hate Rosario and I will still watch, but I won’t be happy about it. #AshleyisAhsoka

Really enjoyable interview. And as a hardcore baseball fan ( go marlins ) it was a surprise to know Ashley’s husband is a former player! But it was a little heartbreaking to hear her talk about the live action Ahsoka. You can tell it’s something she really wanted. I’m not even a Ahsoka “fan” really but with amazing people like her in the Star Wars community I think it would have done fandom good to have a fan favorite take the role as their live action character.

Great compliment to another amazing Clone Wars Ahsoka episode today!

Steven M DuBrey

You guys nailed it with the Obi-wan series comments. If they pull him away from Luke for any significant amount of time, they don’t understand the character.

Patreon is killing it! Thanks for filling us up with content as we socially distance. Ashley was great!

Great show. Awesome to hear Ahsley on RFR again!!! Also, Anthony Daniels comparing the Droids concept art to the Mona Lisa killed me hahaha! "...the Mona Lisa doesn't mean shit to me compared to Ralph McQuarrie!" Lol

Diana Orr

Could Ashley do the voice over for Rosario? I can’t imagine Dave not letting that happen. He does value the fan’s opinion and continuity. Keep in mind Sam and Ray in Solo.

Rebel Force Radio

What should we do next? Star Wars Happy Hour is coming soon. BMac told us to save a stool for him and Puppet Lando.

Steven M DuBrey

In response to what you should do next, I know that because of time you guys decided to do the Clone Wars declassified by arc, but boy howdy would I love it if you went back to the old way of by episode. One of my favorite parts of the old episodes are the predictions made on the first Ep. and then seeing what happens over the course of the arc. Due to the circumstances why not do every episode?

Rebel Force Radio

Scheduling was an issue early on, so the Bad Batch arc was affected. Maybe we'll return to the episode-by-episode format for the Seige of Mandalore.

Philip Ehlke

Very happy with the casting of Rosario Dawson. I can’t really see Ashley Eckstein as a convincing older Ashoka. I agree with the internet that Dawson seems perfect for the role, and the difference in voice would reflect her having grown into a seasoned warrior. I did love hearing Ashley back on the show—I mean, to us, she’s royalty. :) One person who I could see making the jump to live action is Tiya Sircar, who has quickly been growing her onscreen resume lately. Would love to see her return in the Mandalorian as Sabine.

Peter Beisser

All in for the SW Happy Hour idea. Just had one with my team on the Houseparty app, and our big boss found out--and wanted in. Just fun to do a live meet up to shoot the breeze.

Joshua Carter

Absolutely loved this last podcast, it was great to hear from Ashley on all this latest news about Snips. Sad to hear they didn't let her know beforehand, but I am very excited to see what Rosario brings to the table in the ever evolving lore of Ahsoka Tano. Also, happy to say that I'm finally able to support this podcast of podcasts. This is my church. Love the community and love the content!

Matt Marks

Great episode. So great to hear Ashley back on the show. It really sucks that she was blindsided like that. It seems like LFL just has a communication issue with things like that. Remember when JAT wasn't asked to voice Obi-Wan in Twin Suns (in Rebels)? But if anyone can bounce back, it's Ashley Ahsoka Eckstein. Cool to hear she wrote a Little Golden Book! We have several of the Star Wars LGBs at home (and a few non-SW). I'll be sure to pick this one up. Keep the great content coming! Blue Shadow Virus and BLUVID-19 has got nothin' on you guys!

Jared Cantor

Another yes, please! For reaction shows for each episode of final arc of clone wars season 7.

David Hammons

I just want to take a moment and tell y’all how much I appreciate you doing RFR, and not bringing the real world into it and mentioning crapvid 19. Like all of you Star Wars is my escape, but unfortunately I work as a defense subcontractor and I’m considered “essential” somehow. But being able to go to work, throw in my ear buds and escape into Star Wars and forget about the world falling apart around me is saving my sanity. Again, thank you very much, y’all stay healthy, safe, and fingers crossed/prayers that Celebration still happens in August

Jared Cantor

Listening to Ashley speak about being bullied is making me so incredibly angry. WTF.
