So there was a lot of 175 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: excitement once I found out that Ahsoka was going to 176 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: come back. 177 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 4: Was it after this episode aired that Dave did the 178 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 4: Ahsoka Lives? Sure? 179 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta set the record straight here, because Dave 180 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: did not start Ahsoka Lives. I'm taking full credit for 181 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: this because I actually got myself in trouble by starting this. 182 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: So I did an interview with Jimmy Mac and Jason 183 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: from Rebel Force Radio, and they were telling me about 184 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: the whole Darth Vader Lives movement where you know, the 185 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: fans started something and it said Darth Vader lives. 186 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 7: And so you know, this is when we didn't know 187 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 7: did ah Soca lived? Did she not? 188 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: And so if we find out that Ahsoka lives, you 189 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: know we could we could start our own campaign. So 190 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: I kind of held on to that, and then the 191 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: second that Ahsoka walked down that ladder in the season finale, 192 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: I went to Twitter and I did hashtag Ahsoka lives. Well, 193 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: how I got myself in trouble was with the internets 194 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: because half the world had not seen the season finale yet, 195 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: so I totally spoiled it and everyone was so angry 196 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: with me. So it was like I divided the Internet. 197 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: Half the people they were so excited because they had 198 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: seen it and they were celebrating with me, and the 199 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: other half they were so angry with me that I 200 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: just spoiled it. But you know, we hold onto these 201 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: secrets for so long, and the second that she walked 202 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: on that ladder, I couldn't hold the secret any longer. 203 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: So there it was. I released it on Twitter, Ahsoka lives, 204 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: and eventually people got over it. They were just excited 205 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: that Ahsoka lives. But that's where the hashtag started and 206 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: then it you know, continued from there. 207 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 8: That's amazing. 208 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 3: What an issue of, like like time zones or was 209 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: had that episode just not aired on that date for 210 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 3: people in different places? 211 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 7: It was an issue of time zones. So I don't remember. 212 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: I must have been on the East Coast because I, 213 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, my homes in Florida it's on the East Coast, 214 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: so I must have watched it on the East Coast, 215 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: which meant I totally spoiled it for the West Coast, 216 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: and I think I actually issued an apology afterwards. 217 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 7: Did you I'd have to go back. 218 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: It's been so long, but I think I shoed an apology, 219 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: like I'm so sorry I owed this for you all, 220 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: but I was just so excited. 221 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 7: I don't blame you. We were all so very excited. 222 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 8: That was a time to you. I think it's partly 223 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 8: on fans. 224 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 4: You can't go on Twitter right before a show that 225 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,119 Speaker 4: you enjoy. I just know that with sports, like anytime 226 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 4: there's a good game on, I'm not going anywhere near 227 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 4: social media if I'm out and I've recorded it or 228 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 4: I'm getting back to watch it later, because I mean, 229 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 4: the Internet now we're all so connected people. I have 230 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 4: to not even look at text because buddies all texting. 231 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it sounds weird to say, but you know, 232 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: those were still early days of social media and and 233 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, we were still figuring out the etiquette rules. 234 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: And now there's like so many etiquette rules that you know, 235 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I can't do that. But I didn't 236 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: even think about it, Like it was just my excitement 237 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: over it was like it was an override of my 238 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: thoughts and I just was so excited to celebrate with 239 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: the fans. 240 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's just a testament to how you 241 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: feel about you know, Star Wars and Ahsoka and reprising 242 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: your role and I say you get a pass. 243 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 7: It's been over a decade, but I still say you 244 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 7: get a pass. Thank you. 245 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 4: I was gonna say we talked. We've talked about on 246 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 4: the podcast. The Fulcrum name. That's one that we've always 247 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 4: been trying to figure out because ful Crome, like some 248 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 4: some words or names in Star Wars, you can't really 249 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 4: play them. I'm sure there is some etymology to it, 250 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 4: but Fulkrom, we're all familiar with that word of like 251 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 4: what it means? Did they did they ever talk to 252 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 4: you about that? Like it having any sort of purpose 253 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 4: for or is it just a fun title? Because I 254 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: know sometimes you ask them about a name, a character name, 255 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: and it's just like, oh is my dog's name? 256 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 9: I mean? 257 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: And then other times it has this very deep rooted, 258 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: deep seated meaning for this leverage point that held the 259 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 4: entire rebellion together. 260 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: You know, I remember asking Dave about it, and again, 261 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: my memories are fussy because it's been so long, but 262 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: I think you know, I remember him saying, well, a 263 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: full Crum could be many different people, you know, it 264 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: could be many different people that were in hiding, and 265 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: this full Crumb happens to be Ah Soka if I'm 266 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: remembering that correctly. So so, yeah, I mean it, it didn't. 267 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't have any special meaning to my knowledge. It's 268 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: not like it's one of Dave's pets or anything. But 269 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: but yeah, and you're right, there's there's many of those. 270 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 7: I remember in. 271 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: Clone Wars, I voiced the droid K two B four 272 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: and it was a purple and gold droid and that 273 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: was actually because somebody on the crew was a really 274 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: big Kobe Bryant and that droid was named after Kobe Bryant. 275 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: And so so yeah, there's a lot of fun Easter 276 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: eggs like that. But full crim I believe, was just 277 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: like literally really the name that anyone could have been Fulcrum, 278 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: and that Fulcrum happened to be Ah Soska. 279 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: I have a question, and this might be a JC question, 280 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: does that mean so we we actually talked about this 281 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 3: a couple episodes ago or a few episodes ago, about 282 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: Fulcrum and that there could be more than one, but 283 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: I don't remember if we discussed is there only one 284 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: full crumb at a time? Like fulcrum can be adopted 285 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 3: by There can be a fulcrum and then there another 286 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: person can assume that uh code name. But are there 287 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: many fulcrums existing at the same time in different places 288 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: doing similar work or is there just well full crumb 289 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: at a time? 290 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 7: Is that a JC? 291 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: Is that? 292 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 6: Okay? 293 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 8: I just don't know. 294 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 3: But it's like you know, the Aga con there's only 295 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: one at a time, but there are many, you know, 296 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: in succession. 297 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 5: I don't know why he chose, but I I like 298 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 5: that pool. I mean is like I mean, I think 299 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 5: of like the sea Saw. It's like the tipping point. 300 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 5: So that's essentially what Ahsoka was. And when she shows up, 301 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 5: it's the literal manifestation of hope for this rebel alliance, 302 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: because like, this person that's been helping isn't just this 303 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 5: voice on the other end. She's actually a real person 304 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 5: and no, or it's almost like I know, I'm going 305 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 5: to get DC fans mad at me whatever, like and Batman, 306 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 5: he's like, well, Batman is a symbol. It's not necessarily 307 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 5: who's under the mask. It's like the symbol of what 308 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 5: Batman stands for is what the message that you want 309 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 5: to put out there, And that's essentially what I get 310 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 5: out of Fulcrum. One thing I wanted to bring back 311 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 5: to something Vanessa. You brought this up like way, like 312 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 5: a few episodes ago that we did. How you knew 313 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 5: before I believe you knew before everyone else who Folkrim 314 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 5: was because Hara knew. So therefore you knew. And I 315 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 5: don't know how much contact contact any y'all had with 316 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 5: each other during this process, but I have to imagine 317 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 5: the trying to tiptoe around these things must have been 318 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 5: very tricky. While while you know during that during that time. 319 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 7: Well, I'm not sure that it was sort of. 320 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: Private knowledge that yes, only the character of Heron knew, 321 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: but the Mega Clone Wars fan Vanessa who worships Snips 322 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: on a daily basis when I heard that, I mean, 323 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, because Tea and Taylor sort of came 324 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: brand new to much of this. For me, it was 325 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: like the most pivotal fact on Earth. And I'll never 326 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: forget the day that I met you. I don't know 327 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: if you remember my ugly crying. I do remember, I do. 328 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: I thank you so deeply from the bottom of my 329 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: heart for all your work and your heart and soul 330 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: that you brought. Oh, just some of the best moments 331 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: in animation that are just ever etched on my heart 332 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: that I can't still cannot thank you enough for. But 333 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: I was so touched the day that you came in 334 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: to record, and I'm not sure. I think it might 335 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: have been for you know, some of your full kromblines 336 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 2: earlier before the reveal, and you you brought us sweatshirts 337 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: from her universe, which was like the most kind, incredible thing. 338 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 7: To have done. 339 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: I mean, we were so honored to have you, and 340 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: you know, to be gifted on top of that was 341 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: like I was losing my mind. But so I'm not 342 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 2: sure if it was fangirl Vanessa Marshall freaking out because 343 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: I knew what that meant, or I don't. I don't 344 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 2: remember Dave's warning swearing me to secrecy, but I'm not 345 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 2: sure that anyone else understood how we will break the 346 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: Internet with the finale. 347 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 7: I was well aware. 348 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: So I do remember this moment because Dave told me 349 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: ahead of time. He told me he said, Hey, there's 350 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: this girl named Vanessa. 351 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 7: You're gonna be. 352 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: You know, she's a really big fan. She's probably gonna cry. 353 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he totally said that, and so I think 354 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: it was more from what I remember, just you as Vanessa, 355 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: and he had told you because he knew that you 356 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: were a fan. But I have to tell you, I 357 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: was so blown away. Because we need to go back 358 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: in time to this moment. Keep in mind that it 359 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 1: really wasn't until I feel like twenty twenty that Ahsoka 360 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: kind of became as popular as she is today. She 361 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: was still this character that relatively, you know, globally, Star 362 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: Wars fans had never heard of. You know, I remember 363 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: there was an article that my friend Sarah wrote for 364 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: a major news site and she said, let me tell 365 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: you about one of the most popular Star Wars characters 366 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: that no one's ever heard of, And that was like 367 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: the best way to describe a Sosoka, because you know, 368 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: I had been voicing Ahsoka since two thousand and eight, 369 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: and I remember I would tell people, you know, oh, 370 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm the voice of a Star Wars character, and they'd 371 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: get so excited. They'd say, oh who, and I'd say, well, 372 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: her name's Ahsoka Tano and then everyone would look at 373 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: me like huh. 374 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 7: You know, nobody had ever heard. 375 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: Of Ahsoka Tano, and so I wasn't used to people 376 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: knowing who I was. Like it was this niche of 377 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: the universe, and the niche of the universe that loved 378 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: Clone Wars loved it, and they knew who I was. 379 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: They knew who Ahsoka was, and they loved her. But 380 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: it was still it wasn't like mainstream. So to have 381 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: someone that not only knew who I was, but then 382 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: was such a huge fan that it brought you to tears, Like, 383 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: I was so blown away and humbled by it. 384 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 7: I was shocked. Here's the thing to call. 385 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: I grew up in the industry. My mom was on television, 386 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: My dad was a news reporter. He won Emmy's I 387 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: gave zero. That is not currency for me in general, 388 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: but as a storyteller, as a person who believes that 389 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: there is sacred healing to be found in the much 390 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: needed portal of entertainment for all of us to come 391 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: together as a collective and heal and grow as a culture, 392 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: this was like an archaeological reverence. This was not like 393 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 2: I'm serious, Like, so, just so you understand, there's fangirl 394 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: fan girling and then there's like astral projection. 395 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 10: Metaphysical bowing to no, to you and to the entire 396 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 10: team who when you left the Jedi Order and that 397 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 10: screen went black and for the first time in all 398 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 10: of Clone Wars, there was no need music. 399 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 7: That moment is etched in everyone's hearts. 400 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: It's not just mine, and it's not like fangirl, Oh 401 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: my god, teen tiger beat eeah, like this is. I 402 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 2: cried because that moment taught me something that it's important 403 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: to stand up for what you believe in. It matters 404 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 2: that we all make a difference. That was a political statement, 405 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: a socio economic like it was. It was incredible and 406 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: it's not I mean, it's funny to me that Dave 407 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: said that I would cry like a fangirl or whatever 408 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 2: it is that, but it's more than that, and it 409 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 2: was really just thank you for deeply touching so many 410 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: human beings to awaken something and then that they didn't 411 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 2: know they had. 412 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 7: That it matters to stand up for what's right. 413 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: So I just want to qualify that I've met Jodie 414 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 2: Foster and I've been like, hey, I've met a lot 415 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: of very famous people in my. 416 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 7: Life, and that's that's not what it's about. 417 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: It's about the art full moment that was made in 418 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 2: excellent storytelling For me, in the span of the Star 419 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: Wars saga, one of the greatest stories ever told. That 420 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: moment is important and I thanked you for that. 421 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 7: So just to qualify, but that's hilarious. That did warn 422 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 7: do that. I didn't know he knew me. 423 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he probably thinks I'm coming from 424 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: sort of a shallow standpoint, but from like truly that. 425 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 7: That was very, very very special. 426 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: No, he doesn't think that at all, but I think 427 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: and thank you for saying that, and I very much 428 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: see that now. But it was you have to understand 429 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: our mindset at the time. So just to even go 430 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: back there, keep in mind, we thought that we were 431 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: going to make at least eight seasons of Clone Wars. 432 00:22:54,240 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: So we were completely blindsided by the fact that Disney 433 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: bought Star Wars, as was everyone. I mean I think 434 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: literally five people knew. So it sent shockwaves through the 435 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: universe that Disney bought Star Wars. 436 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 7: But then to have the Clone. 437 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: Wars canceled, it was just like the rug was pulled 438 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: out from under us, and we were devastated. We didn't 439 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: get that moment to have that final episode. We didn't 440 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: get to have that you know moment where we knew 441 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: it was the last record where we could sign each 442 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: other's scripts and have a good cry. We just we 443 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: went in to record an episode. We thought we were 444 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: coming back for another season, and then that other season 445 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: never happened, and so I think we were kind of 446 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: stuck in our own sadness that we didn't realize how 447 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: impactful that final moment that the season five finale was 448 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: going to be for people. And so it was until 449 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: And I can share this story because I've since you know, 450 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: gotten to know this fan. His name is Jacob, and 451 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: I've asked his permission to share this story. But you know, 452 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: I think Star Wars Rebels had come out at this point. 453 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: And I was at D twenty three and or D 454 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: twenty three Expo, and I was about to leave the 455 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: floor of the expo floor and I got a call 456 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: from my friend Thomas and he said, hey, Ashley, are 457 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: you still here? And I was like, yeah, I'm about 458 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: to leave, and he said don't leave. He said, please 459 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: run over to the food court. There's someone I want 460 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: you to meet. And I ran to the food court 461 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, this must be really important if 462 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: Thomas is asking me to run over there. And all 463 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's this gentleman who I now know 464 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: is this is this wonderful fan named Jacob, And all 465 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: I remember is him just giving me the biggest, like 466 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: biggest bear hug, and he wrapped his arms around me, 467 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: and he just started crying. And we stood there and 468 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: here I am with this perfect stranger, and we stood 469 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: there embraced for what felt like, you know, five minutes, 470 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: and he just cried. He cried on my shoulder, and 471 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: and you know, I wasn't it was such a beautiful thing. 472 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 7: You know, I wasn't scared of it. 473 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: I was so touched at the moment of like, oh wow, 474 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: what is happening here? And then we pulled apart and 475 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: he shared with me how Ahsoka saved his life, and 476 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: how that moment of Ahsoka walking away from the Jedi 477 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: Order gave him the strength to walk away from something 478 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: that was a very toxic situation, and how it saved 479 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: his life. And it was that moment when I realized, 480 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is way deeper and more meaningful 481 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: than anything that I ever could have imagined and how 482 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: Ahsoka having the strength to walk away from the Jedi 483 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: order transcended the story, transcended the screen and is now 484 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: in people's lives and gave someone the strength to literally. 485 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 7: Save his life. 486 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: And so so yeah, that's when I mean, Ahsoka was 487 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: always more than just a part to me. 488 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 7: But it was that moment where I. 489 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: Was like, whoa, Okay, like this is this is a 490 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: once in a lifetime role for me, and I will 491 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: dedicate my life to this. And so so yes, Vanessa, 492 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: I very much know how much that meant to you. 493 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: But you have to keep in mind, at that moment 494 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: in time, I was kind of so unaware of what 495 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: had happened, that Ahsoka had become more than a character, 496 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: that she had taken up a place in people's hearts, 497 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: and that she was now changing and saving lives and 498 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: so so yeah, I was just so surprised of like, 499 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: whoa you know of Ahsoka? 500 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,959 Speaker 6: Huh? 501 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, well your story perfectly illustrates why I was so 502 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 2: honored to finally meet you. And you know, then we 503 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 2: went on our jolly professional ways and told our stories 504 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 2: together and this and that, but just for one moment, 505 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 2: I needed to honor what you gave of yourself. So 506 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: thank you for me, for Jacob, for everybody, thank you 507 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: for that beautiful story. 508 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 5: Thank you so much for sharing that Ashley, and it 509 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 5: brings up, I think an interesting point. And you are 510 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 5: so incredible in the mental health awareness space. I watch 511 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 5: your Mental health Mondays every single Monday, and it's like 512 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 5: a great reset for the week and start to the week. 513 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 5: And what you bring up is something really I think 514 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 5: important to bring up. And I don't know if it's talked 515 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 5: about it enough, and I know the four of you 516 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 5: had to deal with it in some way, But stories 517 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 5: like that with Jacob, which is a beautiful story, but 518 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 5: i'd imagine you get, especially now with this resurgence of 519 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 5: Clone Wars, Rebel everything, You're going to get a lot 520 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 5: of people going you're a silka to me, like they 521 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 5: conflate you with Ahsoka, and you seem to find this 522 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 5: way to hold space for that fan love but not 523 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 5: lose sight of who Ashley is. So can you touch 524 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 5: on that a little bit because I feel like that's 525 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 5: something that's not talked about enough with public figures like yourself. 526 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: Well, I think as actors we have a choice, and 527 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: a lot of actors or anyone like athletes, you know, 528 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: they come out and say, well, I don't want to 529 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: be a role model. That's not what I want to be. 530 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: But to me, if you're lucky, you are cast or 531 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to. 532 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 7: Play a character that is more than a role. 533 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: And some actors can go their entire career and never 534 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: get to play a role that is like this, that 535 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: transcends the screen. 536 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 7: These roles are truly once in a lifetime. 537 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: And I think in all of our cases, in many ways, 538 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: we were cast to be ourselves. Like Ezra is very 539 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: much Taylor, Tia is very much Sabine, Vanessa is very 540 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: much Harah. I was cast as Ahsoka to literally be myself. 541 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: They ask me, we don't we didn't know what we 542 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: wanted for Ahsoka. So literally bring your own personality to Ahsoka. 543 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: We want Ahsoka to be you. And it's definitely the 544 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 1: case with Vanessa, Tea and Taylor. So naturally our characters 545 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: our us, and we are our characters. And I think 546 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: what happened over time with me is even though I 547 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: brought my own personality to Ahsoka, as I got to 548 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: know Ahsoka, I'm like, wait a minute, I want to 549 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: be Ahsoka. I want to be a real life version 550 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: of her because I see that this is more than 551 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: just a part, that this is a character that if 552 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: I choose to accept the mission, I can literally. 553 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 7: Be a reflection of her and help change lives. And 554 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 7: what an incredible thing. 555 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: And to me, I just view it as you know, 556 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: talking about Star Wars as a whole, We're just continuing 557 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: to carry the torch, or I guess carry the lightsaber. 558 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 7: It's a responsibility. 559 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 8: You know. 560 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: Star Wars has been around for almost fifty years and 561 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: it's going to be around for another fifty We are 562 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: just the people currently carrying the lightsaber. 563 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 7: It's not mine, it's not ours. 564 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: That's why I'm always careful to say I'm one part 565 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: of Team Tano, because I was never Ahsokatano. You know, 566 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: Dave was never Ahsokatano. We're just two of the people 567 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: of a giant team of people that it takes to 568 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,959 Speaker 1: bring Ahsoka to life, and so it takes a lot 569 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: of people to bring Star Wars to life. And so 570 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: we're just the current current representatives that are continuing to 571 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: carry the Lightsaber into the next generation, which hopefully will 572 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 1: continue generations to come. So for me, It's really important 573 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: because I view it as almost kind of it comes 574 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: with the job to you know, it's part of it. 575 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: It's part of the territory to be a representative, to 576 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: carry the torch, to pass on the force, and so 577 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: I want to do that. I've accepted the mission because 578 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: I feel like I won the lottery. 579 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 7: But with winning the law. 580 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: Comes responsibility, and so I want that responsibility and I 581 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: want to continue to pay it forward. 582 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,239 Speaker 5: Beautifully said, very very voltaire of you to say all that, 583 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 5: to hold the weight of the responsibility and that power and. 584 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 6: What you just said up. 585 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: Can I give credit though, to Vanessa, Tia and Taylor 586 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: because they also do that. They are everything that the 587 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: fans want their characters to be.

But I 609 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: do remember, even though Harrah's the Space Mom, I'm never 610 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: going to take that title, but I very much felt 611 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: like the space mom to the Ghost crew. And it's 612 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: just incredible to see how far you all have come. 613 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: And I just applaud the roles that you all play today, 614 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: your amazing representations of your characters, and for the Star 615 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: Wars family, that's very kind. 616 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 7: Thank you, Thank you very kids. 617 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 5: At Theeld the way and what your is very interesting 618 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 5: and something that actually stood out when Folk rum Flashahsoka 619 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 5: finally makes her her debut. It's really like I fixated 620 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 5: on your voice this episode because I watched Clone Wars 621 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 5: from the beginning and you just touched on the fact that, 622 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 5: and I remember reading this in interview years ago, how 623 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 5: you were cast more so your personality and what you 624 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 5: were bringing. The sparky brought naturally into the booth. But 625 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 5: when we meet Ahsoka, she's like this fourteen year old, spunky, 626 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 5: eager padawan like you just mentioned the snippy padawan. But 627 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 5: once she shows up mb Rebel, she's this very calm, mature, 628 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 5: seasoned version of herself. And I was just curious if 629 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 5: you were consciously thinking about that transformation and her voice 630 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 5: or was it something that just unfolded organically because you 631 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 5: were having your own personal growth and those two things 632 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 5: came together. That's the thing that really stood out to me, 633 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 5: And I'm wondering if you can give insight on that. 634 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: Well, it's so funny you bring that up, because it's both. 635 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: It's both. So first of all, my voice right now 636 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: is a little hoarse, if anyone's wondering, I just came 637 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: from a convention, and you know, after talking all weekend 638 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: and not getting much sleep, my voice is a little 639 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: horse So definitely sounds like Ahsoka's been in battle or something. 640 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: But so it was twofold, so I was cast as 641 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: Ahsoka when I was twenty five, but I was I 642 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: was young, and I was playing on television because keep 643 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: in mind, I was, you know, mostly a film and 644 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: television actress. Ahsoka was my first big voice over role, 645 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: and so at the time in film and television I 646 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: was I was playing a sixteen year old, So I 647 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: was playing a teenager, so I naturally sounded really really young. 648 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: But in between being cast as Ahsoka in two thousand 649 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:55,959 Speaker 1: and six to when I started playing Soca and Rebels, 650 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: I had actually caught up with my actual age. So 651 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: I was the same age as Ahsoca in Rebels as 652 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: I was in real life. So for once, at the 653 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: beginning of every season, I would always discuss with Dave, 654 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, how old is Ahsoka? 655 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 7: And then where in my register do you want me 656 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 7: to be? 657 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: And so we would play with, you know, the place 658 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,959 Speaker 1: in my register where we wanted Ahsoka to sound, and 659 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: so for once. 660 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 7: He was like, just be you, just literally be you be. 661 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: You know your exact age, how do you sound today? 662 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: So on one hand, it was a conscious effort and 663 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: discussion of where we wanted her to be. But then 664 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: on the other hand, I was able to draw from 665 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: my real life, So I it was almost life imitates 666 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: art because I had been through a lot in my 667 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: life when you know, I started Rebels, So when I 668 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: was cast as Ahsoka in Clone Wars, full time actress 669 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: in LA and had a pretty successful career, and in 670 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: the middle of all that, I had gotten married and 671 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: my husband was playing baseball at the time, and his 672 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: career took him to Toronto. 673 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 7: Well, that meant that I moved to Toronto with him. 674 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: Well, I couldn't get a work visa in Toronto, and 675 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,919 Speaker 1: I also couldn't I couldn't be in LA as much. 676 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 7: I had to be with him, and he had had. 677 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 1: A bunch of injuries, and that meant that I needed 678 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: to be with him and go to doctor's appointments, which 679 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: also meant I couldn't be in LA and I couldn't 680 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: be actively auditioning. Well, all of my agents and managers 681 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: dropped me, so literally, I went from having a successful 682 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: career to nothing. 683 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 7: And I'll never forget. 684 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: My manager called me and she said, Ashley, if you're 685 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: not in LA, you're not auditioning. If you're not auditioning, 686 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: you're not working. If you're not working, you're not making us. 687 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: And if you're not making us money, You're no good 688 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: to us, and like that, I like lost everything and. 689 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 7: I was devastated. It was literally like the Jedi Council. 690 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 7: It was like Ahsoca, all she ever knew was. 691 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: Being a Jedi and then you know, they dropped her. Essentially. 692 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 1: That was literally what happened to me. And so her 693 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 1: universe came from a place of devastation. Her universe. That's 694 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: when her universe started because I couldn't act, and so 695 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: I had to figure out what can I do that 696 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: I don't have to be in La. So you know, 697 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: I started her universe. But it wasn't easy. It was 698 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: really really hard and had a lot of setbacks, a 699 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: lot of failures. So I was pretty beat down when 700 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: I started voicing a Soca in Rebels. So I had 701 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: a lot of real life experience that I could pull from, 702 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: equal with the fact. 703 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 7: That I was the same age as Ahska. 704 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 8: I remember that. That was the conversations Tia. 705 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 4: I don't know the age thing as much with like 706 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 4: other characters, but I remember that with Ezra, this thing 707 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 4: of like always younger because in no Other and no 708 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 4: O they're on screen, thing, can you really play that 709 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 4: different of an age, but in voiceover, sure, like Vanessa, 710 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 4: I'm sure you've played like you've probably played.

I 719 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 5: was like waiting for that's gonna be the social clip 720 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 5: that takes us viral. 721 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 6: I haven't had that. 722 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, Well I didn't know that was my cue. Sorry, 723 00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 7: because I didn't know. 724 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 5: I was just like, I didn't know if I didn't 725 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 5: know there was a cue. 726 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: Can I say to that point when Tales of the 727 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 1: Jedi came out, Because as we all know, everything's so secretive. 728 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: If you're not in the know, if you're not the 729 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: one recording the lines, you don't know it. So when 730 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 1: Tales of the Jedi came out, I had no idea 731 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: that there was going to be baby Ahsoka. But that's 732 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about voiceover is that we can play 733 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: any age. 734 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 7: So I was a little bummed that I didn't. 735 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: Get to voice baby Ahsoka because it totally could have 736 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: done it.

I'm going 791 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 9: to revisit Fulkrum just very quickly, because Tea through the 792 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 9: question out there. There are multiple Fulcrums at the same time, 793 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 9: because we learn at some point in some expanded universe 794 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 9: thing that and Or was a folkrum, and and Or 795 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,399 Speaker 9: would have been Fulkrum at the same time that Ahsoka 796 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 9: was Fulcrum. Sick o wowass a little bit more background. 797 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 9: We talked about this a little bit in episode or 798 00:43:52,680 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 9: two ago. The Ahsoka novel talks about the circumstances under 799 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 9: which Ahsoka creates the folkrum name which the character of 800 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 9: Ahsoka when she after Order sixty six and leaves the 801 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 9: Jedi order Fulkrim apparently is bail Oregana's network of recruiting network, 802 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 9: so she took over that bail Organa recruiting network. We 803 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 9: also talked about the inspiration for the title. Again this 804 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 9: isn't like in the show necessarily, but was like filled 805 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 9: in with backstory. Was it was a subspace frequency that 806 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,959 Speaker 9: Anakin used to talk to Yularen and Obi Wan and Ahsoka, 807 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,800 Speaker 9: So that was filled in in some media at some point, 808 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 9: and then they talk about it again in Rebel season three, 809 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 9: the Antilles Extraction, it is revealed that there are is 810 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 9: a title used by multiple agents. Ashley, you mentioned D 811 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 9: twenty three just to fill in the background for anybody 812 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 9: who doesn't know what D twenty three is. It's like 813 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 9: a comic con for Disney fans. And then you guys 814 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 9: talked a lot about playing up in age or back 815 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 9: in age from where you actually were and having your 816 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 9: age caught up catch up to you, which Ashley I 817 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 9: thought was really cool because the first person in Star 818 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 9: Wars that had that happened was Ian McDermott playing the Emperor, 819 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 9: which he was thirty seven or thirty eight years old 820 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 9: when he returned when he filmed Return of the Jedi, 821 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 9: and the Emperor was eighty eight years old in Return 822 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 9: of the Jedi. 823 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 8: Then fast forward. 824 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 9: When he was filming The Phantom Menace, he was around 825 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 9: probably fifty two fifty three years old if they filmed 826 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 9: it a couple years before it came out, and the 827 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:52,359 Speaker 9: Emperor was or Palpatine was fifty two years old in 828 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 9: in The Phantom Menace as a character. So you talked 829 00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 9: about carrying the lightsaber. You were handed the lightsaber from Palpatine, 830 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 9: which is kind of fitting since he ended the Jedi 831 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 9: and you are no Jedi. 832 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 4: Then I fully take back I fully take back the 833 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 4: on screen.
