I write about Disney characters and Disney movies that resonated with me personally, what they mean to me and the lessons that they’ve taught me.” What was your very first job ever, and what is something you learned from it? “My book is my ode to Disney and Star Wars,” Ashley says. This summer she released It’s Your Universe, an interactive book that guides its reader on making their dreams happen. Now, in addition to her role with Her Universe and as the voice of Ahsoka Tano, she can add author to her list of accomplishments. I’m a girl, and I like Star Wars.’ I founded a company on a hunch and hoped people would back me up.”
“I wanted to create merchandise made for women that maybe would help them feel comfortable enough to step into the spotlight and say, ‘Hi. “I am grateful for the fact that we were able to prove ourselves in a wide open space,” she says. It has grown so much in size that it’s now a subsidiary of Hot Topic. Of course, a few years later when Her Universe began proving sales, other companies began to pay attention. Because other major companies didn’t want licenses for merchandise this space or didn’t use the ones they had, she was able to prove a fan base and a market without any competition. Why? The industry simply wasn’t welcoming to creating sci-fi and fantasy focused clothing exclusively for a female fan base.īut like any heroine, Ashley found a way to turn a negative into a positive. And like the Disney characters she loves, Ashely had to persist to make her dream come true. She strives to empower young girls and women everywhere through Her Universe, an online community where female fangirls can be themselves and also find merchandise featuring their favorite Lucas Film, Disney characters and more. And in real life, she isn’t much different from that character. As the voice of Star Wars’ Ashsoka Tano, Ashley brings to life a strong character who always wants to do the right thing. Ashley Eckstein is a force, which isn’t surprising considering she’s a strong believer in The Force Star Wars brought to life.
