At the end of the last episode, I told you the show was going on what I called
an “incomplete hiatus,” but that there were a few guests I had been working on
getting for a long time, and one reason I would come back with an episode during
this time is if I got one of them. Well, I did!

 

After a very long time of working on it, I am now thrilled to bring to you my
interview with Ahsoka Tano herself, Ashley Eckstein!

 

In this episode, Ashley talks about…

 * Why the character of Ahsoka is so important to her
 * How Ahsoka has become part of how she lives her daily life
 * The most recent “Forces of Destiny” episode she was in—why it was so fun to
   record and the cool bit of information that was revealed in it
 * Why she created Her Universe
 * Her new book, It’s Your Universe
 * What inspires her
 * Her advice to you for following your dream
 * Shameless Plug Time
