Ashley Eckstein and Matt Lanter are Recording New Content

Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano are back! Or at least, we hope so.

Matt Lanter and Ashley Eckstein, the voices of the Star Wars characters, Anakin and Ahsoka, have come together again to record for a new, unknown Star Wars project. The pair has worked on multiple projects together in the past, including Star Wars: Rebels, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, Disney Infinity 3.0, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars-Lightsaber Duels.

The last time Lanter and Eckstein worked together was back during season two of Rebels, which featured the once Master/Padawan pair dueling as enemies in an emotional fight on Malachor. Since then, Ahsoka's fate has been unknown and controversial among many Star Wars fans. Dave Filoni, the executive producer for the show, has since clarified that Ahsoka is in fact alive (and not a white wolf) and that she will return.

This latest news on the pair comes from Eckstein's official Twitter, where she tweeted a picture of the wo with the caption, "How can your Monday be UGH when you get to record with Matt Lanter in your Matt Lanter shirt???"

Fans, however, have been left in the dark as to what they are working on, although there are several theories already. It is possible they may be working on the final season of Rebels, which would make sense following their previous duel. However, it may be possible they are working on Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. This is an upcoming series of short videos that are a part of the canon universe across all eras. Since both are credited on the show's IMDB page, it is possible we may get to see more of the Master and Padawan side of their relationship. Or possibly more of the animosity between Vader and Ahsoka.

Whatever the project may be, Eckstein and Lanter have been very quiet regarding it. For now, fans will have to wait. Until then, check back here often for any more news surrounding yet another mystery for Star Wars fans.

Star Wars Rebels Season 2: Dave Filoni Teases Of Upcoming Episode's Title And Characters

By: Justin Marsh

Clone Wars and Rebels creator, Dave Filoni stated that Star Wars Rebels Season 2 will return with new episodes starting in September, and that the first upcoming episode will be titled "The Lost Commanders". The episode features a return of the clone troopers CT-7567 ("Rex"), CC-3636 ("Wolffe") and CC-5576-39 ("Gregor") originally seen in the Star Wars:The Clone Wars series.


The Daily Dot posted a fantastic interview with the Executive Producer Dave Filoni yesterday in which he gave this cryptic description of an upcoming scene in season two.

Daily Dot: "Give me a nice cryptic tease of a specific event you’re really looking forward to fans seeing in season 2."

Filoni: "Ummm. Boy. I know exactly what it is. You know, it was interesting. I was, oddly, up at Skywalker Ranch [in Marin County, north of Lucasfilm's San Francisco offices], while Kathy [Kennedy] and J.J. [Abrams] were at Comic-Con doing their panel. I had the StarWars.com livestream updating on my computer while I was drawing and storyboarding probably one of the most critical things I've ever drawn and staged at my job at Lucasfilm. And I just found it to be a really interesting kind of crossover point, to see Kathy carrying forward this big movement of Star Wars now, and the fan excitement, and to be...literally I was drawing it in about the same place where I started Clone Wars in 2005.

[Lucasfilm] moved from the Ranch to Big Rock [a nearby studio] and then down to the Presidio [in San Francisco], but that day, because the Golden Gate Bridge was temporarily closed—they were doing some traffic changes—I went in and worked at the Ranch, which I hadn't done in a long time. And it just so happened that I was drawing this really, really, really, really, really, really, really important moment that I had turned over in my head many times, dealing with Ahsoka. And all this was happening on this same day.

I'll never forget that. That was really just a great day in my head for Star Wars. And I thought, "Wow, no one knows this is all happening." But I never would have thought, when I started in 2005, that I would be there 10 years later, not just working on what I was, in that moment, but also witnessing this forward future for Star Wars on a scale that I don't think any of us could have imagined in 2005.

It was kind of a nice point where all things came together for me. And that stuff that I staged, that particular scene, and everything surrounding it...I'm very excited for fans to see. That's going to be a big one. When it happens, you can ask me, you'll say, "Was this the thing?" and I'll say, "Yeah," and I can go into more detail about it.

Is that cryptic enough?"

So what does this mean for us Star Wars fans and what are a few things we should prepare ourselves for? Just in the first upcoming episode alone, we can expect to continue seeing more on Ezra's backstory for the most part, possible new Rebellion groups joining forces together with the main characters to spark the Rebel Alliance against the Empire to later connect with Episode IV: A New Hope, more possible appearances of Jedi master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and finally, a chilling dark duel between Lord Vader and his late apprentice, Ahsoka Tano.
