Ever wondered how a little bit of cosmic misalignment can lead to the perfect role in a galaxy far, far away? Well, buckle up, stargazers! The journey of Ashley Eckstein—from underwhelming Icelandic accent attempts to snatching the role of Ahsoka Tano—shows just how a dash of audacity can rewrite your destiny. Her story reveals the stars may have had a hand in inspiring her unique approach, akin to the planetary influences that guide us during our moments of uncertainty. Saying “I’m sorry, but I am doing Icelandic” to a top director isn’t just ballsy; it’s downright celestial! Dive in and discover how genuine kindness shines as Ahsoka’s greatest power and how the very essence of her character mirrors the heart of the actress herself. Cosmic giggles aside, aren’t we all just trying to find a piece of kindness in this chaotic universe? Don’t miss out—LEARN MORE.

Ashley: Originally, they wanted Ahsoka to have an Icelandic accent, and I could not do an Icelandic accent. I sounded terrible. For some reason, I got a callback, so I studied and thought I had perfected an Icelandic accent. But it just wasn’t what Dave Filoni wanted.

I don’t know what came over me, but I did something in my callback that landed me the role. After I did the first line and thought I was doing well, Dave Filoni stopped me and asked, “No, can you do it more Icelandic?” I raised my hand, and I said, “I’m sorry, but I am doing Icelandic. I don’t know what you want.” It turns out that that got me the part.

He wanted somebody that was snippy, but not bratty or rude or disrespectful. When I was cast, I asked Dave. I said, “Why me?” He said, “Well, you’re genuine, and Ahsoka is genuine.”

So much credit goes to my parents. The number one rule in our house was that we had to be kind and that we had to treat others as we would want to be treated. So even when speaking back to the director, it was still done with genuine care, just wanting to do it correctly.

I think that’s Ahsoka. Her kindness is her biggest power.
