The galaxy far, far away is one that many want to play in. Claudia Black got that chance with Ahsoka, where she played the Nightsister Klothow on the world of Peridea. Alongside two other Nightsisters and Grand Admiral Thrawn, she awaited Morgan Elsbeth, who had constructed the means to travel between galaxies. While she was promoting Spartacus: House of Ashur, Bleeding Cool asked Black about her time on Ahsoka.
To start, Black said, “Well, I’m going to be transparent. They picked up season two, picked me up with it. And then Disney, which is structuring things differently these days, could not pay me what I needed to be paid as a single mother to keep all my responsibilities going at home in Los Angeles, because they were filming in London. It was not something that they could make happen, and therefore, I had to bow out for season two. It was very sad for me. I sent an email to Dave Filoni thanking him, and I said, ‘What a ride!’”

Black was very happy with what she had done on season one of Ahsoka. While on set, she was particularly impressed with the Volume. “Their particular set, which is full of technology that George Lucas had dreamed about and talked about, and people thought he was crazy to suddenly be in that technology, see it working in real time, and talk to the company that had realised that technology. I was fascinated by it, bugged them with questions about how it worked, and how they were able to render in real time while we were standing on the set, and the background was changing with us.”
It was a particularly memorable time for Black, whose younger son is passionate about the Star Wars universe. “It’s so fun to do something that was relatable to my younger son, who was passionate about The Clone Wars, which was the new iteration for his generation. When he heard me talking about it, we signed serious NDAs, and when he had me talking about it only took one thing. You would have been the same in the background. He was like, ‘Are you talking about the Nightsisters? What’s the show?’ He heard one little thing, and he was like, ‘I know exactly who she’s talking about.’ So it was fun to go into and do something relatable with him.”
