#15 "The Friendship Trio Behind Star Wars: The Clone Wars" with Matt Lanter & James Arnold Taylor

HypeFriend! with Ashley Eckstein & Michael James Scott

We’re hanging out with the voices of a galaxy far, far away— Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker) and James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) drop into HypeFriend for a fast, funny, wide-open conversation about the friendship that outlasts the recording studio! Get a peek behind-the-scenes of a generation’s favorite Saturday morning Star Wars saga, including details about the Mortis arc, how recording in-person forged genuine trust, and the moment James helped Ashley find her “Dark Side Ahsoka” voice. Matt and James bring heart, humor, and some Jedi wisdom to the neighborhood. There’s craft talk, vulnerability, and some live voice-acting flexes. They open up about life beyond the mic, sharing what it means to be not just a good parent, but a true HypeParent, and provide us all a blueprint for work friendships that become found family.

Join us in our friendship revolution, one HypeFriend (and one voice!) at a time!
