Yeah, that would be nice. Though, if they confirmed Jackson, I am pretty sure they would have confirmed other people as well. I don't know if it's just me, but I would prefer Jackson over Hayden, so if they'd announced Jackson, they would have announced Hayden. (I would think anyway)
Hm...interesting that you bring that up about the games. I was unaware that he did that. However, the Clone Wars will be a long running thing, a video game will take a day or two to record it seems. He would need to repeatedly go in and record for the CW cartoon. Or...perhaps he is just mad that he was so underused, so he isn't going to do Star Wars.

True, he probably doesn't have the patience or stamina to come in constantly to record lines. But it would still be nice to hear him on a single, contained project, like another CW video game.
Or maybe they can dig him up for the series finale. I would've been fine with having Lee play Dooku for the premiere movie and then switch over to Burton for the rest of the series. As it is, the movie seems a little underwhelming for a theatrical release, but having some of the original actors would at least help sell it a bit.
Of course, Ewan's out. So's Natalie, I guess. I think McDiarmid and Lee would've been willing to do the film if asked, but probably not the full series. I still have no idea why Morrison isn't in this (the clones don't sound like him, but at least they have accents this time).
It is nice to know that Anthony Daniels is always available, though.

Well, Anthony Daniels IS c-3po. It couldn't be any other way.

I am shocked to hear that it's not Morrison...I figured he would do it no matter what. I mean, he isn't that famous is he? I didn't really expect Natalie or Ewan to do it, but that would be cool.
I thought I heard somewhere that Ewan does not like Star Wars...is that true?

He's said plenty of times that he loves the movies, but he's also said that they very difficult movies to film due to the massive amount of blue screen.

Yeah, I was doing some searching, and I saw plenty of instances where he said he loved making them. So, I wouldn't see why he wouldn't do the Clone Wars either...

Real Life and time are always factors. I mean, yeah, when you love something, you'd like to do it, but I'm sure Ewan has a ton of stuff going on already that it might not even be feasible for him to do the work. Who really knows though.

I wouldn't be so sure. You'd think they'd use big names like Jackson a little in their marketing, but they haven't at all. The confirmation given wasn't a huge announcement either. I still think there's plenty of room left for them to slip in some more of the actors if it becomes possible.

That is a good point, Tyi.
Why do they have to be so secretive!?  They're almost as bad as Apple.

Well Ewan is a well accomplished actor, he's starred in many different roles. He just doesn't like the fact that people know him as Obi Wan. He says that he's done much better work, and that if anything he should be known for that. I guess I agree with him, though I did love his potrayal of Obi Wan and thought he did an excellent job, I was a Ewan fan before TPM. I loved him in Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge, Down with love, Big fish and about 10 more other movies. I don't understand why he's upset about it though, to "be" Obi Wan is a great honor. I'm sure Sir Alec wouldn't complain.

Was that sarcasm? Sir Alec Guiness was famously upset over the fact that Obi-Wan was the only reason kids knew his name.
Anyway...I understand the "serious" actors' frustration, even though as a Star Wars fan I think they are crazy to ever get upset over it.

Denis Lawson was pretty mad that his most famous role was Wedge. He even warned Ewan when he was cast.
Let's see, who else... Harrison Ford's none too crazy about Han Solo anymore. Frank Oz wants to distance himself from Yoda, but that has less to do with hating SW and/or Yoda and more to do with just wanting to move on and focus on his directing career (he's done the same thing with the Muppets). Liam Neeson doesn't resent his role, but he hasn't spoken very highly about his time on the set.
I still have no idea what Hugh Quarshie's problem was.

Yeah, all this stuff seems ridiculous. Those doing the PT should have known going in that doing Star Wars would put their names down as that role, and nothing else. Especially Ewan, since his uncle told him. People like Harrison Ford, those movies practically propelled him to stardom. I don't care what anyone says, his role as Han Solo has been, and will most likely always be, his most famous role. So, I don't get the animosity towards the series.
I know if I were an actor in Star Wars, I would love to be known as that character.

Same here. Some of my friends laughed when I told them that Mark Renton was going to be Obi Wan until they saw TPM.

Other than Indiana Jones. Either way, Lucas gave him two worldwide known roles that he did with class. I mean, when you see Harrison Ford anywhere else, you either think of Han or Indy, or even the driver from American Graffiti, you don't think of that crappy movie he did with Michelle Phieffer.

According to Wookieepedia, Christopher Lee is going to be in the movie. Their source was his official website, where the webmaster confirmed that Lee had recorded the part months ago, apparently a fairly late addition to the cast since they had to redo the lip-synch. I know that alone isn't confirmation, but given how the Wookieepedia editors have real Nazis about sourcing, I think this is great news. Apparently, Corey Burton's still going to do the rest of the series.
So, if this is right... I called it! I called it on page two!
