Star Wars Rebels: What Will Happen When Ahsoka Faces Vader?
There was a lot of celebrating from Star Wars: The Clone Wars fans when Ahsoka Tano returned on the current animated series, Star Wars Rebels, in the Season 1 finale. And while Ahsoka’s only appeared a couple of times since, there have been some very notable developments with her, as she and Darth Vader sensed each other’s presence, and the man who was Anakin realized exactly who she was – while Ahsoka had a more vague, but certainly troubled response.
Ahsoka is back this week on Rebels, in an episode that will see her wielding her lightsabers for the first time in the series, taking on the Inquisitors the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother.
I spoke to Ashley Eckstein, who has voiced Ashoka since she made her debut, about returning to the character for Rebels, once more working with Dee Bradley Baker (the voice of Captain Rex and the other Clone Troopers), what Ahsoka does or does not realize about Darth Vader and just how inevitable a confrontation with her old master is.
Smash Bros. Mod Project M No Longer in Development
The development team behind Project M has announced it will no longer be working on its popular mod for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
"We’ve learned so much in the process of making Project M... but there’s only so far we can take those skills in a volunteer project," the dev team explained on post on the mod's official site. "With this in mind, we’ve made a difficult business decision: We’re ready to finish development here and move on to bigger and better ventures."
While support for Project M has ceased, that's not the end for the team. "In the mean time, we plan to be hard at work on new projects, built from the ground up," the post adds. "We can’t spill the beans just yet, but know that we’re looking towards a fresh start with brand new designs."
Supernatural Stars on the Darkness, the Cage and God
Supernatural is now in an astounding 11th season and still going strong for the CW. I recently visited the Vancouver set of the show and sat down with the stars, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, to discuss Season 11’s big storylines, as Sam and Dean continue to face the threat of the Darkness – now revealed to be God’s sister – and we’re seeing glimpses of a very familiar cage in Supernatural lore.
The actors also discussed getting to bring back guest stars from the past, the popularity of the recent episode “Baby” and much more – including pondering the cirumstances they want to see the series end under, whenever that day should come.
IGN: Eleven years into a show, you want to make sure you’re still giving these guys great threats and having big obstacles for them. I feel like with the sister of God, you’ve done pretty well!
