Crap...That's not cool.

Would you guys rule out guest appearances of some of the main actors? For like, an episode or two?

Yeah not cool at all. I was really hoping that we'd get to hear them in the film.

I don't think they'd be doing any guest appearances on the show. If they weren't going to reprise their roles for a two hour film and not a series, I doubt they'd spend the time to do an episode or two.

That's kinda disappointing.

You guys make me laugh sometimes.

Did you really think Hayden and Ewan would bother doing voice work for The Clone Wars? I mean, Hayden, you'd maybe have a shot, but Ewan clearly has better things to do.

Plus, being a fan of some animated shows, I like the work of "experienced/veteran" voice workers. Too many animated films these days get Hollywood actors in just to fill the seats, and I honestly think they're not that great.

Someone like Billy West on Futurama is an amazing voice worker.

Now granted, you're talking about specific characters and the specific actors who portrayed those characters in the films, I just never ever thought it would be a possibility.

Sam Jackson, I'm guessing Mace probably doesn't have THAT much dialogue for the entire season, so he probably did an entire season's worth in one or two days.

Well I would have laughed it off too except for all oddities surrounding it.

For one, it sounds an awful lot like Ewan in the trailer. Then we find out that Sam is just doing the movie and not the series. Then we find out that Christopher Lee will also be doing the film and not the series, and the he had to record his voice after the animation had been complete. Now that raises a little more suspicion to me. Then we hear an interview with Hayden saying that he pays attention to everything that's going on in the Star Wars universe. We also hear and I know it's hearsay, that Matthew Wood couldn't comment on how was voicing Anakin and Obi-Wan. With all of this and the secrecy the Lucasfilm holds, it wouldn't have surprised me if they were providing their voices for the movie.

Hey everyone confirmation from the official site for voice cast:
The voice cast features Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker; Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano; James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi; Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex and the Clone Troopers; Tom Kane as Yoda; Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress; Ian Abercrombie as Chancellor Palpatine; Anthony Daniels as C-3PO; Christopher Lee as Count Dooku; and Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu.

Thought I recognized the clones voices and Asajj has a new voice actress never heard of her. They don't have Padme here though.

Story is from starwars.com. Don't know how to link. LOL

Well, that's that. I feel like all the secrecy was pretty pointless, since we've known about Matt Lanter and James Arnold Taylor for a while now.

Yeah, sometimes their confidentiality/keeping secrets is a little ridiculous. I wouldn't count voice actors as spoilers, unless it was the surprise of Hayden and Ewan.

But guys, it was clear from the trailers that it wasn't Ewan or Hayden. The guy does a good job with Obi-Wan, but he's not Ewan.

Yeah but there always the theory that they were showing us the original voicing, seeing as if Christopher Lee could record his lines and the other guy doing it could be cut out they could've easily done that for Hayden or Ewan. I personally never thought Ewan would do it seeing as he isn't on the best terms with SW or Obi Wan, but Hayden could've done it.

I guess that's that though. If anything, I'm just thankful Anthony Daniels is doing 3P0. No one else could give that droid personality like he can.

<<Yeah, sometimes their confidentiality/keeping secrets is a little ridiculous.>>

Just so you know, the majority of times it's not a secret. It's that parties aren't allowed to talk about involvement until final deal memos and contracts are signed. It's usually a silly movie business thing.

Untrue... watching both his motorcycle trips (specially the second one when he went back to Tunisia), u'd realize how much he actually loves SW wink

I know Ewan is currenly making Angels and Demons, and before that he did two other movies... putting conspiracy theories aside, i think he just didnt have time, if he was approached to do it. No clue why Hayden wouldnt be lending his voice, but maybe he just couldnt squeeze it in either.

As much as i would have liked for all the original actors to do the voices, if they dont do it that wont take away from my excitement with the CW happy

Ewan is hardly on bad terms with Lucas or SW at all. He loves it and always has. He was a little kid on the set every day. It was a dream come true to be in the films. Where'd you hear that about Ewan?
