Summary

Actress Ariana Greenblatt shares her preparation process for portraying young Ahsoka Tano in Ahsoka, which involved immersing herself in the world of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series and closely studying Rosario Dawson's rendition.

The flashbacks featured in episode 5 of Ahsoka, depicting the Clone Wars, are widely regarded as some of the series' most memorable moments. These scenes mark the exciting live-action introductions of Padawan Ahsoka and Captain Rex. Greenblatt's portrayal of a younger Ahsoka was exceptional, leaving open the potential for her to reprise the character in Ahsoka season 2 or even a dedicated full-length live-action series.

Ariana Greenblatt, the actress who portrayed young Ahsoka Tano in the Ahsoka series, has shared her approach to preparing for her Star Wars role. The flashbacks to the Clone Wars in episode 5 of Ahsoka are widely regarded as the series' standout moments. In this episode, Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka enters the World Between Worlds, where Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christensen), Padawan Ahsoka, and Captain Rex (portrayed by Temuera Morrison) make their live-action debuts. Greenblatt successfully embraced the challenge of portraying a younger Ahsoka through her meticulous preparation.

Will Ariana Greenblatt Get To Play Young Ahsoka Again?

Greenblatt not only watched the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series to prepare for her role but also had it on in the background while getting ready for rehearsals, as stated in a video shared by Star Wars. Due to the twist of her Ahsoka character having the mind of an older version, she also studied Rosario Dawson's performance on set. The younger actress carefully observed Dawson's dialogue and mannerisms to accurately portray them.

The viewers have long been clamoring for The Clone Wars to be depicted in live-action, even before Ahsoka. And now that the portrayal has been realized, the demand for it has only intensified. With Greenblatt flawlessly fitting into the role and Christensen faithfully intertwining his own Anakin with the voice of Matt Lanter, much of the main cast has already been firmly established. Whether it's in the second season of Ahsoka or a full-fledged live-action series of The Clone Wars, there is a strong likelihood of Greenblatt making a return to Star Wars to once again portray Ahsoka, especially considering her own passion for the character.

Currently, there are numerous plans for more live-action Star Wars featuring Ahsoka. Although the status of Ahsoka season 2 is uncertain, it is anticipated that Ahsoka will play a significant role in Dave Filoni's upcoming movie set in The Mandalorian era, fighting against Grand Admiral Thrawn, despite her current predicament on Peridea. Given Ahsoka's immense popularity, it is highly likely that she will continue to appear in live-action for an extended period. Additionally, there may be a possibility of Greenblatt returning in the future to further bring the character to life. All episodes of Ahsoka can now be streamed on Disney+.
