Warning, spoilers. It is recommended to watch Star Wars: Ahsoka Episode 5 before reading this article.
The event chapter of the Star Wars series: Ahsoka, episode 5 titled “Shadow Warrior” has been eagerly awaited by fans. With a special screening in the United States for the lucky few, we have to wait for a unique episode directed by Dave Fillon.
Now that it’s available on Disney+, we can confirm that this chapter — which marks a turning point in the second half of the Star Wars franchise — is a major one for Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson).
After a losing battle with Beilan Skol (Ray Stevenson), Togruta finds himself in the world between worlds seen in the animated series Star Wars: Rebels. These types of temporal intersections are a set of doors and pathways that lie between time and space and that connect all moments together.
In this high place, Ahsoka finds a familiar figure, none other than her former master: the Jedi Anakin Skywalker. For the occasion, Hayden Christensen (and a small dose of aging effects) donned his costume again for this episode. Anakin finds his Padawan, whom he affectionately calls “Chippy” (as in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series), and explains to him that he must complete his training.
This reunion is a test of sorts for Ahsoka, who may be hoping to return to reality. What will he choose between life and death? On her way back to life, Ahsoka relives memories with her former master, especially the famous Clone Wars they led.
Who plays young Ahsoka in Star Wars Episode 5?
Except we get a much younger version of Ahsoka, and it’s clearly not Rosario Dawson playing her. This is an actor who has already had huge film successes.
The actor, who plays the young version of the Jedi, was most notably seen in Avengers: Infinity War and most recently in Barbie, the biggest blockbuster of 2023!
This is Ariana Greenblatt. At the age of 16, the young actress made a name for herself in the Disney Channel series Harley, The Least of My Concerns alongside Jenna Ortega (Scream, Wednesday).
Since then, the young woman has had several projects and excelled in comedies such as Bad Moms 2 or Where We Come From and action films such as Love and Monsters with Dylan O’Brien, Awake with Gina Rodriguez and 65: The Earth Before with Adam. driver.
Translation: “Ariana Greenblatt played a young Ahsoka! She was recently in Avengers: Infinity War as a young Gamora and also in Barbie”
But Ariana Greenblatt is best known for playing young Gamora, Zoe Saldana’s character in Avengers: Infinity War, and Sasha, the daughter of America Ferrara’s character in Barbie.
Landing the role of young Ahsoka in the series, and in the wider Star Wars universe, must surely be a turning point in her blossoming career. In this way, these “flashback” scenes allow Lucasfilm and Disney to call him back from the past with Ahsoka in any scene from the past in the future.
Some fans have even floated the idea of a live-action Star Wars: The Clone Wars sequel, perfectly imagining the actor and Hayden Christensen in this dream project.
Translation: “After watching Ahsoka, I need Hayden Christensen and Ariana Greenblatt to get their own live-action Clone Wars series. Oh my god, their chemistry was just beautiful and heartwarming.”
This is the first time that a young version of Ahsoka has been played in live action, and Ariana Greenblatt has surprised fans with her interpretation, as evidenced by the reactions on social networks.
Translation: “I can’t say it enough, but it’s really impressive that Ariana Greenblatt plays a young Ahsoka after an older version of her while having great chemistry with Hayden Christensen.”
For her part, the actress is very proud of Ahsoka’s portrayal of the iconic character, judging by her latest Instagram post, which features an orange image (like the character’s skin color).
Due to a historic double strike by actors and writers in Hollywood, Ariana Greenblatt is unable to promote the Star Wars series and has to be content with peeking through her networks, which fans who are already eagerly awaiting Episode 6 have not missed.
