All together now, IT’S A TRAP! Ooops wrong character 😛 – Skatronixxx
Ever since Disney X.D.’s number one show Star Wars Rebels began, fans have been wondering if any of the original stars would appear especially since the show takes place in-between Episodes 3 and 4, prime proving ground for younger versions of everyones favourite Rebels.
Considering we already got Lando Calrissian, voice by Billy Dee Williams himself no-less, on more than one occasion. It was about time that Star Wars first lady Princess Leia made her animated debut.
According to TVinsider, Leia is set appear in the episode titled “Princess on Lothal” that will air on January 20 and will be voiced by Julie Dolan who previously portrayed the princess in Disney Infinity 3.0.
Star Wars animation veteran Dave Filoni revealed that “We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope. One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent.”
Currently in its second season, Rebels has already introduced Darth Vader into the animated series as the main villain to the burgeoning Rebel Alliance. With his long-lost daughter set to join the cast, it may only be a matter of time before Luke Skywalker makes his long-awaited cameo.
