I hope christopher Lee's in this too. As many of the original actors, the better. I'd love Ian in it, he has a same element as Lee with the voice of the character. It just gives them more depth.

Is this true about Lee?

Well, I wouldn't rely on that %100 until LFL officially announces it. But it seems as though the chances are pretty good.

Yeah, nothing's official until it's announced, or we hear it (if I remember correctly, Jackson hasn't even been officially announced, even though we can all hear him in the trailer). But I think this is a pretty reliable source. Reliable enough for Wookieepedia, anyway, and like I said, those guys have gotten pretty strict about these things.

I thought there was a confirmation on SLJ in this thread? Page one or two where it got "official"

Even if it's not him, the guy doing the voice sure fooled me.

Having Lee on board really makes me wonder if SJ and Lee are just doing the movie, while the actual episodes will have other actors. If this is the case, it gives me hope for the other characters such as Anakin (Hayden Christensen), Palpatine (Ian Mc.), etc. It will make the movie feel more genuine.

My gut tells me there are more, but I don't expect Ewan McGregor or Natalie Portman.

I don't think that the voice in that clip that we saw, Anakin is not voiced by Hayden...I could be wrong because I am no expert. But that is just what it seemed like to me. I agree with what you said about Natalie Portman and Ewan...but for some reason I don't think we will be hearing Ian McDiarmid. I do think we will be seeing Temuera Morrison. He has been in several video games and such as well, so I think we will be seeing him.

I found this on Cory Burton's website over a month ago. I thought I should point it out as it goes along with what we have recently heard about Lee reprising his role.

I'm pretty sure we'd be expecting too much to hear Ewan,Natalie or Ian in the clone wars. Hayden wouldn't have suprised me, he knows how he got where he is. But after watching the 2 minute clip, I'm pretty sure that it isn't Hayden. I thought maybe in the trailer and "the battles of the clone wars" it might have been him but after seeing that I'm now sure it's not him.

SLJ is for sure, and Lee is apparently confirmed. Maybe some of the Jedi like Tiin.... Frank OZ?

Pretty sure Frank Oz is out. He's made it clear before he's getting tired of doing the same things over and over again, plus we've already heard Tom Kane in the trailer. If (big "if") Oz were in this, it'd be a very, very last-minute thing.

As for others... well, there aren't too many characters where getting their original actor would make a massive difference and/or would be affordable enough. About the only ones I can think of (that aren't already in) that I feel should be included are Temuera Morrison and Silas Carson (if only because I can't even imagine how bad a knockoff Nute Gunray would sound), and I'm frankly surprised that Morrison isn't in this.

Indeed, i get the feeling they're just doing the movie... Ewan has lended his voice to cartoons before, if he was approached and had the time, i think he'd do it.

I still have no idea what Hugh Quarshie's problem was.


i read (on TFN i think) that he wanted more $ than GL was offering. so instead of paying him more GL just changed the character's name and added the lil inro line "I'm capt." ect. ect.



great to see original actors contributing. in regards to the series tho look at this way. how much screen time is dooku and/or mace really going to have. anakin, ashoka whatever her name is, and obi-wan are the focus. Lee could probably do a seasons worth or dialog in 2 days.

Where voices are concerned:


  • I'm not 100% that's Ewan McGregor, but it sure sounds like it.

  • Christopher Lee and Samuel Jackson sound great

  • Sidious, Anakin and Yoda could sound better

Obi-Wan sounds like James Arnold Taylor to me.
