The voice actor, who played Ahsoka in several 'Star Wars' animated series, spoke about her clothing brand and putting together the runway show for Comic-Con.

The presence of top film and TV talent at San Diego Comic-Con will be massively reduced amid the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Here’s what will change — and what won’t.So, nine years in, what’s the expansion been like for Her Universe, and in general, for the fan fashion industry?

I sold Her Universe at the end of 2016 [to Hot Topic], but I continued to run it for four years after that. In 2020, I was able to kind of hand over the day-to-day reins of the business to my incredible Her Universe team. I continue to design collections with Her Universe. I continue to host the fashion show. I’ve just transitioned into more of a spokesperson and founder role, and it’s one that I’m very proud of, but definitely am still a part of the brand.

I finally had the chance to meet Rosario Dawson this past year [and] to visit the set of “Ahsoka.” I wasn’t filming a cameo. That’s everyone’s first [response]. They’re like, “Oh, she was there! She was filming a cameo!” It was just a set visit. Hopefully, if there’s a Season 2 or a spinoff in some way, I’ll eventually get to do that.

All I want for this character is for her to continue to be such a positive force in people’s lives. It’s definitely a bond that I’m very grateful that I’ve been able to create and share with Rosario. She definitely sees what Ahsoka means to people. It’s a relationship that I only hope gets stronger as the years go on, because we do have a bond now that’s really there for life.
