Ariana Greenblatt as Young Ahsoka in Ahsoka Episode 5 - 1

Overall, I’ve seen a ton of positive reception to Greenblatt’s turn inĀ Ahsoka, and having just watched the episode myself, I can see exactly why people are in love with her. She’s got a lot of charisma and does a fantastic job working with Christensen to help move the story along. Having also enjoyed her inĀ Barbie, Greenblatt has obviously become a young actor to watch. So far, at least, her career is off to a roaring start.

InĀ Star Wars: The Clone WarsĀ andĀ Star Wars Rebels, Ahsoka was voiced by Ashley Eckstein. In live-action, she’s played by Rosario Dawson, who played Claire Temple in the various Netflix Marvel series, which were some of my favorite shows on that streaming platform before they moved to Disney+.

New episodes ofĀ AhsokaĀ debut every Tuesday at 9PM ET on Disney+. The series is slated to run for eight episodes, with the final one releasing on Oct. 3.
