Ashley has also voiced Ahsoka for a wide range of Star Wars video games. A lot of fans grew up with Ahsoka on her Jedi journey in The Clone Wars, and then rejoiced when she and Ashley returned in Star Wars Rebels as “Fulcrum.” Eckstein lent her talent to a few other characters on The Clone Wars as well, including the Separatist tactical droid, K2-B4, the Weequay pirate, Kiera Swan (named for Kiera Knightley’s character in Pirates of the Carribean), a Twi’lek, tiny Aleena, and several other aliens. The creature belonged to pirate Hondo Ohnaka and had a recurring role in Seasons Two and Five.Īshley Eckstein is the heart and soul of Ahsoka Tano. Perhaps his most underrated voice work was as the Kowakian monkey-lizard, Pikk Mukmuk. The most notable, besides Anakin, is probably Lom Pyke, a spice dealer and leader of the Pyke Syndicate, who appeared in Seasons Five and Six of The Clone Wars. In addition to numerous humans, he played a Bivall named Okalin in Season Five of The Clone Wars, a Weequay pirate named Jiro, the Rodian Pablo, a Togruta named Tuktee, a Mon Cala, a Gungan, a Trandoshan, a Nemoidian, and numerous droids. Matt Lanter may be forever known to Star Wars fans as the voice of Anakin Skywalker, but he has voiced enough characters to fill a Lambda-class shuttle (more than 25 characters according to IMDB).

In fact, many voice dozens of different characters over the course of a series! Cast members rarely voice just one or even a couple of characters.

But while certain actors may be synonymous with a particular character for a period of time, it might surprise you just how versatile the talented voice actors of Star Wars actually are. It’s hard to imagine anyone else playing Kanan Jarrus other than Freddie Prinze Jr., or another actress voicing Asajj Ventress besides Nika Futterman.

Usually the voice actors of animated Star Wars are closely associated with one, or maybe two focus characters in Star Wars: The Clone Wars or Star Wars Rebels.
