Young Ahsoka Tano Actress Ariana Greenblatt Talks About Stepping Into The Role in AHSOKA
Ariana Greenblatt, the young actress who portrayed the younger live-action version of Ahsoka Tano in the fifth episode of Star Wars: Ahsoka, recently appeared in a video in which she opens up about her time being a part of the series.
When discussing how she prepped for her performance in Ahsoka, she explained: “I watched a ton of Clone Wars episodes. I mean, when I was getting ready for rehearsal and all of that, it was just always on in the background.”
Greenblatt also talked about stepping into the shoes of Rosario Dawson’s version of the character and trying to capture that likeness. She said that The Clone Wars-era Ahsoka “is still Rosario [Dawson]’s Ahsoka mentally.”
She shared that she “had to combine the characteristics and combine how Rosario talks” and to help with that she visited Dawson on set to watch Dawson act as the older Ahsoka Tano, which allowed her the opportunity “to observe how she would walk and talk, and everything Ahsoka. I just, like, soaked up all of her body language because I really, really, really wanted to do it right.”
Greenblatt was great in the role! It was so cool seeing the young version of Ahsoka from The Clone Wars brought to life in live-action. I think a lot of fans appreciated that, and it was just a great little treat.
