Ahsoka Voice Actress Ashley Eckstein Shares Who She Wants to Play in Live-Action in STAR WARS — GeekTyrant

Ashley Eckstein, who is best known for voicing Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars in addition to other animated projects from Lucasfilm, eventually would love to play a live-action character in the Star Wars universe.

While some fans were hoping she would play the live-action version of Ahsoka, it was Rosario Dawson who landed the role, which worked out great!

With Ahsoka Season 2 currently being developed by Dave Filoni over at Lucasfilm, CB recently asked Eckstein if there are any other Star Wars characters she would like to play in live-action. 

Eckstein responded: “I feel like I wouldn’t be a Star Wars fan without thinking about this. So I want to preface this answer by saying I leave this to Dave Filoni. I’ve always left story ideas to Dave Filoni.

“So I’m prefacing this by saying I’m speaking as a fan, but of course, I would love to appear in live action in some way. My background is in live-action.

“So I think it’s really funny, all the fan comments that say, ‘Oh, well, she’s just a voice actress.’ No, the majority of my career has been on stage or on camera. So of course I would love to appear in live action in any way.”

She went on to say: “But it’s funny, Rosario Dawson was essentially fan-cast as Ahsoka, and it worked. I’ll throw out my fan idea, and I don’t know if it would work, but I think a cool connection, I’d love to appear as the daughter from Mortis.

“There is a connection with Ahsoka. The daughter gave up her life for Ahsoka. So I think that could be pretty cool in some way. But I also want to preface by saying whatever cool idea I have, Dave Filoni always has a cooler idea.” 

It would actually be really cool to see Eckstein in that role! It totally makes sense for her to have a live action take on that role.
