Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ahsoka Tano has become one of the most beloved characters in all of Star Wars, and the actor who voiced her in The Clone Wars shared an emotional example of how much Ahsoka means to her fans. Ahsoka is an extremely popular part of Star Wars, so much so that she made the jump from animation to live-action, and Ahsoka was recently renewed for season 2.
And yes, a lot of people thought she was very annoying in the beginning. But after season five, when she walked away from the Jedi Order, and the show was canceled. There was kind of a seismic shift. I think it happened that with Ahsoka that moment was so powerful, and really changed lives. And saved lives in many cases. I've heard just 1000s of stories, that I am just so honored that people would share with me.
Eckstein's story is truly incredible, and it stands as a testament of how powerful and important Ahsoka is, even outside the Star Wars galaxy. The fact that a fictional, animated character could be so influential in the real world as to save a person's life is amazing, and many fans of the franchise can clearly relate to Ahsoka on a deeply personal level. Eckstein said it best herself: Ahsoka lives in the hearts, minds, and souls of everyone who has seen themselves in her.
