Who is the Young Ahsoka Actress?
THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE DISNEY+ AHSOKA EPISODE 5
If you watched the episode "Shadow Warrior" from the Ahsoka Disney+ series, you will be treated with a deluge of nostalgic scenes from the Clone Wars in live action! Many Star Wars fans have wondered for years what do our beloved characters would have looked like in live action and Episode 5 delivers in a big way as we get to see Anakin Skywalker (portrayed by Hayden Christensen) in full Clone Wars getup, standing next to a very young Ahsoka played by none other than Ariana Greenblatt.
Who is Ariana Greenblatt?
If you think she looks familiar, it's cause she previously played young Gamora in Avengers Infinity War. She has also voiced a young Velma Dinkley in Scoob!, and Tim's eldest daughter Tabitha in The Boss Baby: Family Business, a role which she would reprise in The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib. In 2023, Greenblatt starred as Koa in the science fiction thriller film 65 and appeared as Sasha in the Barbie film. She is set to play Tiny Tina in the upcoming Borderlands adaptation.

The first outfit seen in the flashback has been available in this scale for quite a long time. She is considered somewhat of a virtual "Shelf warmer" due to the many reissues it had in the past.
However, with the popularity of the show and with a lot of people looking back at the Clone Wars, she might go up in price, thanks to the ever lasting "nostalgia" factor. Check Lady Tano at:
We cannot wait for more figures from this show! Maybe a reissue of Clone Wars Anakin? Those figures have skyrocketed in price in the past years.
