Star Wars: Ariana Greenblatt Has Hilarious Response to Ahsoka Debut

The Barbie and Avengers: Infinity War actress played young Ahsoka Tano.

The latest episode of Star Wars: Ahsoka headed to some pretty fascinating places, leaving Star Wars fans with a lot to take in. One of the biggest bombshells of the Disney+ episode was its flashback to the events of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which reestablished some key events that happened in the life of Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson). For those flashback sequences, the younger version of Ahsoka was portrayed by Avengers: Infinity War and Barbie actress Ariana Greenblatt — and she had a pretty perfect response to her Star Wars debut.

Greenblatt took to X on Wednesday, shortly after the Ahsoka episode premiered, to simply tweet "How's everyone feeling, what did I miss?"

What Movies Has the Young Ahsoka Actress Been In?

At the age of only 16, Greenblatt has already accumulated a pretty prolific filmography. She portrayed the younger version of Zoe Saldana's Gamora in Avengers: Infinity War, as well as Sasha this year's Barbiemaking her the second actress (alongside Saldana) to appear in two different billion-dollar franchises. Her filmography also includes Stuck in the Middle, 65, and Love and Monsters. She is also set to play Tiny Tina in the forthcoming Borderlands live-action movie.

"I mean, the biggest thing that's similar is, the imagination because obviously there isn't this humongous monster Thanos standing in front of me," Greenblatt previously told ComicBook.com of her work on Love and Monsters. "So, one of the scenes he was in this like motion capture suit, and then he had this huge backpack on which had like this pole sticking out, and then like a cardboard cutout of Thanos' head. So it was definitely hard to like, imagine that I'm speaking and talking to Josh Brolin, cause I like to like connect a lot to people's eyes when acting especially scenes like that. So it was definitely weird to like, look up and look at a little cardboard cutout. But he definitely made it so easy. He was so amazing. So definitely familiar with the green screens and the crazy eyelines and stuff like that for sure."
