Lots amazing things have been happening over the past few hours as Star Wars Celebration Europe in London kicked off earlier today. Aside from the massive, attention grabbing Rogue One: A Star Wars Story panel that took place, there were several other great panels that happened today. One of those was "Ahsoka's Untold Tales" panel which was hosted by David Collins and featured Star Wars: The Clone Wars supervising director and Star Wars Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni alongside the Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo and the voice of Ahsoka herself, Ashley Eckstein.
The panel covered a variety topics related to the beloved Torgruta Jedi and revealed never before seen storylines that were developed for The Clone Wars but were never produced. Filoni especially had a lot to say about Ahsoka's path beyond The Clone Wars and how it led to her epic appearance in Star War Rebels. The Star Wars Underworld team was there to report o everything that was revealed, and you can check out all of their hard work below:
