Ashley Eckstein Hoped Tales Of The Jedi Would End Annoying Ahsoka Complaint
By RAFAEL MOTAMAYOR
“Star Wars: The Clone Wars” character Ahsoka Tano faced fan criticism for her unexplained combat skills. “Tales of the JedI” fixed this by delving into her extensive training.
One episode of the series portrays Ahsoka training under Anakin. It explores her evolution from a 14-year-old novice into an extraordinary warrior.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Ahsoka’s voice actor, Ashley Eckstein, explained how the show helped shed light on what sort of training Ahsoka went through.
In “Tales of the Jedi,” we see Anakin push Ahsoka in an exercise training against other clones, teaching her the same tactics she'd later use to survive Order 66.
“She was a 14-year-old girl when she first came into the Clone Wars. He was trying to save her,” Eckstein said. “If he didn't prepare her for war, she would've died.”
