We chat with Ahsoka Tano voice actress & enthusiast Ashley Eckstein about presenting a new collection from fashion line HerUniverse at StarWarsCelebration and exploring mindfulness with her new series of Star Wars Kids shorts, StarWarsMindfulMatters:
With Star Wars Celebration kicking off tomorrow and Obi-Wan Kenobi premiering on May 27, it's the perfect time for Lucasfilm to launch a new series of shorts for Star Wars Kids everywhere. Actress and designer Ashley Eckstein, who is beloved in the fandom for originating the voice of Ahsoka Tano in The Clone Wars, has written and directed a new project called Star Wars Mindful Matters to improve the mindfulness and emotional health of kids and adults alike.
But I'm most excited to just connect with Star Wars fans. I think after the past two years that we've had, we all need connection more than anything, and that's what I'm most looking forward to. Her Universe has a brand new fashion collection inspired by the Star Wars and Lucasfilm archives. I'm very excited to debut that at Star Wars Celebration. Just immerse yourself in the fandom and the community at Star Wars Celebration.
For people interested in more of what you're talking about, you're doing this really cool series called Star Wars Mindful Matters. Tell me more about this project and how it came to be. But we know that, being a Star Wars fan, these lessons are for everyone. Star Wars is for everyone. These lessons are really timely and they're more important now than ever, especially after the two years that we've just been through. Ashley Eckstein: Oh my goodness. My favorite lesson that Ahsoka has taught me is to be kind. I would say Ahsoka gets her power - and she's one of the most powerful characters in Star Wars - but she really gets her power by being kind.
Ashley Eckstein: Well, it's incredible. This meetup was organized by the fans, and it's still being organized by the fans, which is incredible. It started with Amy Ratcliffe and Johnamarie Macias; they founded it several years ago, and I was tagged in the meetup this year. This year was once again organized by the fans, and I'm excited to attend.
