Ariana Greenblatt is having quite the year. The 16-year-old actor rose to fame this summer after receiving praise for playing Sasha in the hit film, Barbie. This week, Greenblatt made a surprise appearance in the fifth episode of Star Wars: Ahsoka as a young version of the titular character. Young Ahsoka Tano was originally voiced by Ashley Eckstein in Star Wars: Clone Wars and is now played by Rosario Dawson in live-action. The newest episode of Ahsoka marks the first time the character has been seen young in live-action, and it made fans realize Ahsoka was just a kid when she was fighting the war during her Jedi training. While many fans have taken to Twitter to praise Greenblatt's performance in the Star Wars series, others are pointing out the episode's major connection to Marvel...

In addition to playing young Ahsoka in Ahsoka, Greenblatt also played young Gamora in Avengers: Infinity War. Now, many fans are commenting on Greenblatt's similar roles in the two Disney franchises. You can check out some of the tweets about Greenblatt's performances below...

Can we just talk about how amazing @ArianaG is? To play younger versions of both Ahsoka and Gamora, who are both strong characters, so flawlessly speaks volumes of what Ariana can achieve. The sky is the limit and her time is now 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Magic Touch

Live-action Clone Wars is awesome, and it works so well because Hayden Christensen is getting a chance to shine alongside Ariana Greenblatt who plays young #Ahsoka – Everything she joins is a winner (she was in Barbie and played young Gamora in Avengers: Infinity War). pic.twitter.com/e1SK1UhtiM
