You know you are in the Star Wars Fandom when people say "Echo'' in the chat and they think you are talking about a clone. XD

[@ilya_lavrenyuk]

Or, maybe, about an echo in the force, a wound, a hole, that can lead to its death by spreading across the galaxy and skreaming at every living creature, wich leads them to be deafended, cut from the force and freed from its will for naive balance or killed. About one of the most powerful not in raw strangth but in philosophy and intellect Star Wars characters: Krea and Exile (Mitra). KOTOR 2 is the best game and one of the greatest stories of our world ever!

When Ahsoka had a duel with Vader she missed the chance to tell him "You were my brother Anakin I loved you". Edit: I will tell the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise again. Darth Plagueis was dark lord of the sith so powerful and so wise that he could use the force to influence the midichlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones that he care about from dying. The dark side is pathway to many abilities some of them consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing that he was afraid of is losing his power. Which eventually of course he did. Unfortunately he taught his apprentice everything he knew then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic he could save others from death but not himself.

i love ashley so much she is so passionate about ahsoka and everything she does!

[@keplerthe3399]

38:40 wow, like anything else at this point is fan speculation, but when it comes from the person who got into the mind of Ahsoka and became her, it's a lot easier to imagine a scene in Revenge of the Sith between Ahsoka and Anakin.

[@Luno207]

Ashley is one of my favorite people to listen to. She’s just such a positive person and I can’t help but be in a good mood listening to her. I’m very thankful such a fantastic person is portraying one of my favorite characters.

[@Expert1911]

You super hero nerd! Thank you for loving the Star Wars story so much and refining your craft and story telling to such level. Everyone who appreciates story telling can see your care. The fact that you got Ashley Eckstein on your channel by gaining her respect is an excellent accomplishment that brings us all closer to these stories. Thank you all.

Best Rule of Two so far!!

[@MandalorianCanuck]

Best episode so far. Ahsoka hype is beyond real at the moment.

[@lordfury18]

i'm still sad she's not playing Ahsoka cause her voice is the definitive Ahsoka!!! that being said i'm still gonna give the new actress a try!!

[@nikolavonfulton5195]

She could do a voice over like they did for maul.

[@xcryosonx]

TO be honest Im surprised they didnt ask her about this with Mandalorian.

[@imperialspecialforce5769]

@@xcryosonx they probably did, but are just keeping it a secret

New actress? Why did they recast?

HOLY CRAP HOW DID I NEVER THINK THAT SHE WAS MARRIED TO DAVID ECKSTEIN?! This world is mad

Loved listening to this, she’s such a beautiful person. The perfect choice for Ahsoka!

i like how she sounds exactly like ahsoka in real life too

[@krispy9708]

its almost like she voices her

[@danielmonroe6839]

Let me tell you something...

[@xxrubberduckyxx4949]

So who's gonna tell him

[@wilddreams]

I think he knows that but voice actors don't always sound exactly like their characters when they are casually talking.

[@switchfootfan598]

That echo at the beginning 💀😂 great interview though!

[@wraith2939]

Ok I’m done Ashley is the kindest loving and lovely living being ever. And thanks to her I get now how it was so important that the main character of the new trilogy had to be a girl (I originally found it cool but not that relevant, for me it should always be picked randomly: a girl or a boy, doesn’t matter). But at that time it was important because it could bring more girls into the fandom so that our fellow female nerdies would NOT be bullied anymore. I didn’t know about that, my sister and I are fans since our childhood, but it amazed me to hear that you could be mocked because of your passion. Thanks Ashley for your fight 🙏🏼 #Ahsokalivesinallofus

[@inigoiraetau1903]

Ashley's voice is freaking AMAZING

[@jedimaster4088]

I want to thank everyone involved in making this interview with Ashley possible. This was an amazing time listening to Ashley explain who Ashoka is and how the character has become a part of the way she lives her life.

[@chrislewis8498]

Wow, Ashley is such an awesome person! I'm pretty jealous that you guys got to have a conversation with her. SO Cool!

[@spideysg1163]

This was a great rule of two episode

[@justadaniel]

My mom was a student of David Eckstein's dad back when she lived in Florida way before I was born. I didn't realize until now that Ashley is married to our Saint Louis Cardinals' MVP! #MindBlown

[@chipsonhughes1369]

Yep! I looked up to David Eckstein as a kid and now I relate to Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka) as an adult haha

[@justadaniel]

Chipson Hughes same lol!

[@jaroneller1525]

this interview is the most lighthearted and uplifting thing I've seen in months. just so pure and full of love and light. i think we all needed this

[@ShamanBuddha]

This was amazing to watch, hopefully this gets 1 mill views cause it was really heart warming, lots of love and compassion and Ashley seems like a truly Blessed soul.

[@lechicklet]

This is my favorite SWT video ever! She’s amazing and so humble and I’ll never forget how completely overjoyed I was browsing through Her Universe store for the first time years ago and buying my first form fitted SW👚 THANK YOU for making this happen!!! 🙌🏻

[@duck7123]

I absolutely loved watching this! Ashley is just so down-to-earth and it makes me really happy. Thanks for the video, Star Wars Theory, it was very inspirational. And thanks to Ashley too, for being so amazing.

[@akgal1236]

This stream made my day! So nice to be reminded of hope and positivity during these crazy times.
