Also unintentional, but Saxon (voiced by Ray Stevenson, who is Northern Irish-English) growling Rau's last name sometimes just sounds like a regular growl of frustration, or in some cases, "rawwwwwwr..." Like the Zeb example above, it's strangely fun to hear and mimic.
Ray Stevenson unintentionally did this to himself, as he was flying in from filming Black Sails when he came in to record for "Legacy of Mandalore" and had no time to read the script, so he didn't know until he got to Lucasfilm that Saxon would get killed.
As confirmed by Rebels Recon, Dave Filoni deliberately removed the final two pages from the script of Wham Episode"Jedi Night" and only showed them what was going to happen when it was time to record for Kanan's death scene. As such, the cast's performances in the scene are their totally unfiltered and real responses.
The epilogue to "Family Reunion— and Farewell" was kept very closely guarded with only a handful of cast and crew knowing what happened (Kevin Kiner, the composer, even mentioned he was sent the episode with the last two minutes missing), with most of the cast only finding out what happened to their characters when it aired. Namely, Vanessa Marshall had no idea Hera was pregnant during the final few episodes, while Taylor Gray recorded Ezra's sacrifice not knowing he would survive it. Tiya Sircar revealed at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago that Filoni asked her to stay behind while the rest of the cast went to the wrap party and handed her the epilogue to record handwritten on notebook paper.
Vanessa Marshallrevealed in an interview how she didn't know she auditioned for Hera in this series. She was given a general description of the character, but nothing specific, including the fact that this was for a Star Wars series.
Actor-Shared Background: Kind of. Sabine is voiced by Tiya Sircar, who is Indian. When her family is introduced, Ursa is voiced by Sharmila Devar, while Tristan is voiced by Ritesh Rajan, who are also both Indian. Alrich, on the other hand, is voiced by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who is Japanese.
Adored by the Network: It doesn't necessarily take up every block on Disney XD, but the executives apparently like and trust Filoni with animated Star Wars projects (having The Clone Wars on his portfolio as well as Book 1 of Avatar: The Last Airbender probably helped), which is why they commissioned the entire show instead of individual seasons like most television shows. Rebels is in fact the first show on the network to have its entire run greenlit, followed by Tangled: The Series, Big Hero 6: The Series, and the 2017 DuckTales series.
Likewise, Timothy Zahn, writer of The Thrawn Trilogy, approved of how Rebels was going to put Grand Admiral Thrawn on screen. After the series aired, he later praised the writers for their keen understanding of Thrawn's character and how the heroes had to overcome him.
In part thanks to fan demand, Katee Sackhoff and Kevin McKidd have expressed interest in reprising their roles as Bo-Katan and Fenn Rau respectively in live-action Star Wars (Katee specifically found it touching that people wanted her to appear in The Mandalorian, which she eventually ended up doing in that show's second season).
Hayden Christensen ended up watching both this show and The Clone Wars to prepare himself for Obi-Wan Kenobi, and was thoroughly fascinated with what the shows did with Anakin and the relationships he had with the other characters.
And then Celebration 2017 showed Rex will don the same garb as the old soldier later in Season 4.
And then the show's epilogue all but confirmed it by revealing that Rex did fight at Endor, although technically it hasn't been officially confirmed that he and the old soldier on Han's team are one and the same.
The writers eventually clarified that the escapades of the Ghost crew aren't necessarily the cause of the formation of the Rebel Alliance (that is, the Alliance to Restore the Republic) as some fans had thought/complained about, but are instead individuals that inspire others to take action against the Empire — thus leading to more people joining the "true" Rebel Alliance, something that becomes officially revealed in the first season finale.
Dave Filoni: I think the way to look at it, Simon said this beautifully. He described The American Revolution as if this was a show that was about five guys that were locked up in a farmhouse somewhere fighting against the local British military and without any real knowledge of the larger political movements or what’s going on. I think that that’s really how you look at the truth of it with the Rebels. How do you get all these people together? We’re looking at one little small group that’s trying to stand on their own and how does that hook up to what you know is a rebel alliance in A New Hope? I think that's one of the things that we’re gonna reveal as this story moves forward.
Awesome, Dear Boy: An interview by Filoni post-Season 2 finale revealed that tons of people (including actors) have and are still going up to him to audition for Rebels to join Star Wars, and many of them are making it in. This combined with So My Kids Can Watch are the top motivators for most of the voice actors. (For example, Philip Anthony-Rodriguez auditioned for The Clone Wars before, Kevin McKidd has always wanted to at least play a Stormtrooper, and so on.)
The Latin American Spanish dub was dubbed with both Mexican and Argentinian voice actors, when normally each country dubs their own titles separately. Since the films and previous series were dubbed in Mexico, most of the cast, including returning characters, are dubbed by Mexicans, when the Argentinian voice cast dubs many of the new characters.
The European French dub uses mostly Belgian actors, while the returning Star Wars characters have their lines recorded in Paris with French actors.
Chopper was made into a real robot (that is totally not remote-controlled, possibly) that they use for promotional events and materials. Since then, he's been wandering Lucasfilm Studios, made guest appearances in some TV shows, and was used for a cameo in Rogue One.
R3-A3 has also been brought to real life, though it's not clear if just a statue of him was made or it's a robot/RC like Chopper.
A relatively benign example, but Taylor Gray, the voice of Ezra started off with minimal familiarity with the Star Wars franchise. The writers and producers discouraged him from doing any heavy "research", so that his reactions to lore would be more genuine. He's also the youngest of the group and the only one who hadn't voice acted before, giving further weight to his role as a newcomer.
Cast interviews also indicate that Freddie Prinze Jr., the voice of Kanan, was the one that mentored him in voice acting. It took a while for him to catch on, but he once he did he liked the idea since it mirrored their characters' relationship.
On the other hand, voice actors of major characters who did not watch The Clone Wars were advised to watch the relevant arcs so to gain a better understanding of what their characters had gone through. In one case, Tiya Sircar, the voice of Sabine, was told to watch the entirety of the Mandalore arc.
During the recording for "Jedi Night", the voice actors were given the script missing the last two pages and recorded it as normal, and only saw the storyboard for Kanan's death scene moments before they recorded it to make their reactions more genuine.
Executive Meddling: Not quite, but the midseason trailer of Season 2 showed a lot more than what Filoni wanted, due to a large number of spoilers being revealed in it. The editing for the midseason trailer of Season 3 ended up being supervised by Filoni, with Word of God saying that a lot more spoilers were kept out of the trailer than one may assume.
Fandom Nod: At Celebration 2017, the Rebels main cast and Filoni poked fun at #HotKallus (most of what they know having originated from the show's staff themselves) and the fandom's sudden fondness of Kallus in light of his Heel–Face Turn and his rather appealing loose hair lock, which then led to Steve Blum, Dave Filoni, and the host joking about how Kallus/Zeb is the ultimate bromance and that Zeb would settle down on Lirasan with Kallus & have kids with him. Needless to say, it was rather surreal for the fandom on Tumblr.
God Never Said That: Many people were under the assumption that the show was going to last all the way to season five, six, or seven, due to a comment by Freddie Prinze Jr., who actually stated that it was within the realm of possibility that the show could last that long, not that it would. In addition, about the same group of people also believe that the show would depict the events of Rogue One and the Battle of Jakku from the Ghost crew's perspective, due to Filoni expressing interest in doing so, which again, was not something set in stone when he said that. And then Filoni announced at Celebration 2017 that the show would end at Season 4, just out of arm's length of the Battle of Scarif and a great distance away from the Battle of Jakku. Though if you wanted to be technical, the epilogue takes place "after the war".
Irony as She Is Cast: Vanessa Marshall is fluent in French, yet Hera is the only Twi'lek from Ryloth we've seen that does not have a French accent. "Homecoming" establishes that she once did have a French accent, as evidenced by a brief Accent Relapse.
Season 1 of Rebels premiered October 3, 2014, exactly six years after the Season 1 premiere of The Clone Wars.
Season 1 ended on March 2nd, two years (And only five days off) after the Season 5 finale of The Clone Wars (March 7th). The Season 5 finale of The Clone Wars ended with Ahsoka leaving the Order, and the Season 1 finale of Rebels ends with the reveal that Ahsoka is Fulcrum.
Another one for March 2nd. "Fire Across the Galaxy" aired that day in 2015, and ended with the death of the Grand Inquisitor. On March 2nd, 2016, a Force Vision of him appears posthumously in "Shroud of Darkness".
On February 24th, 2016, "The Honorable Ones" aired, where Kallus began to have doubts in his loyalty to the Empire. On February 25th, 2017, "Through Imperial Eyes" aired, in which Kallus' superiors found out that he is Fulcrum.
Lying Creator: Prior to the release of the trailer for the second half of the fourth season, several of the people involved with the show denied that Emperor Palpatine would be making an actual appearance beyond his audio-only cameo in the Season 2 premiere.
When "Steps Into Shadow" premiered, the Star Wars Twitter account started making comments about how Ezra is Blueberry no more and put up a poll about his newhairdo, with the 'against' option being called "Bring back the Blueberry!"
In light of fans finding Kallus's "rebellious" lock of hair (similar to Obi-Wan's single lock of hair from the final Mandalorian arc in The Clone Wars) and other predicaments in "Zero Hour" rather attractive — specifically, the growing Twitter tag, #HotKallus, Filoni revealed in a podcast that he was quite aware of it because the name of that meme came from within the team (mostly likely Lucasfilm publicist, Tracy Cannobbio, judging by her tweets). Just about the entire main cast has gotten in on it, and even David Oyelowo is aware of it (according to Filoni, he thinks everyone is crazy and he agrees).
Governor Tiber Saxon's been taught a little more than just what true power looks like from Palpatine. Bonus points for being two Revenge of the Sith memes in one line.
The Merch: There's plenty of it out there, from action figures, to throw blankets, to books, and also plush toys (Chopper only). Kanan, Zeb, Sabine, and Ezra even had figures in Disney Infinity.
In a commercial promo for "Twilight ofthe Apprentice", Ahsoka asks Maul what game is he playing. In the show, he basically affirms that this is an Enemy Mine, while in the commercial, he says, "The endgame, of course."
In the Season 3 trailers, The Reveal/Wham Shot scene where Thrawn is shown walking out of the shadows in his office on the Chimaera, which was said by Word of God to be from a later episode in Season 3. It does not appear. Likewise, he also says "We will show the Galaxy what happens to those that dare speak against the Emperor", which presumably applies to either "Secret Cargo" in regards to Senator Mothma, or "ZeroHour".
Ian McDiarmid returned to voice Emperor Palpatine in Season 4 after the character was voiced by Sam Witwer in Season 2. Then he also redubbed Season 2's Palpatine in 2019.
In the Brazilian dub, Mauricio Berger returns as Darth Maul for the first time since The Phantom Menace, after being replaced by Alexandre Moreno in The Clone Wars.
A somewhat complicated example: Sam Witwer voices Palpatine, replacing Tim Curry from the final two seasons of The Clone Wars, who himself was a replacement for the late Ian Abercrombie, who was filling in for Ian McDiarmid from the films. Also counts as Role Reprise, as Witwer voiced Palpatine in the Force Unleashed series. Then by the fourth season, Ian McDiarmid reprises his role as the Emperor/Darth Sidious for a definite scenery chewing act. In 2019, the version of "The Siege of Lothal" available to stream on Disney+ retroactively replaced Witwer with McDiarmid as well.
In the Japanese dub, Yohei Tadano replaces the late Ichirō Nagai as the official voice for Yoda. The same goes for Darth Vader, since he was voiced in the first season by Tōru Ōhira, who is normally the regular dub voice of Vader in Japanese in the films. After his death, he's replaced with Taiten Kusunoki from Season 2 onwards.
Andrew Kishino was replaced as Saw Gerrera's voice by Forest Whitaker, his actor from Rogue One.
In the Latin American Spanish dub, Blas García replaced the late Federico Romano as Darth Vader for "Spark of Rebellion". But in the series proper, he is voiced by Sebastián Llapur from Season 2 onwards. The same goes for Emperor Palpatine, who is voiced by Jesse Conde after Jesús Colín retired in 2005 and subsequently passed away six years later.
In the European French dub:
Mathieu Moreau voiced Kanan in the first season. In the subsequent seasons, he was replaced by Nicolas Matthys.
Recasting was abundant in the Hungarian dub. After briefly reprising his role as Obi-Wan at the series' start, Zsolt Anger was replaced with Imre Haagen, who also voiced Obi-Wan in the final season of The Clone Wars. Since all of Darth Vader's classic voice actors have passed away, the role was given to László Horányi. Palpatine was initially recast with Gábor Forgách until later episodes brought back his TCW actor, Imre Szélyes (who had been filling in for the late Hugó Grúber). Maul was initially played by Péter Galambos, who had also voiced the character for most of TCW (replacing Zoltán Rajkai, who was in turn replacing Zsolt Zágoni), until the 3rd season gave him a fourth voice actor, Gábor Sótonyi. Hondo Ohnaka was played by József Kerekes for one episode, then replaced with his original TCW actor Péter Barbinek. Lando Calrissian was dubbed by Levente Kárpáti, replacing Károly Gesztesi from the films. Several side characters (Ezra's parents, Minister Tua, the Bendu, Saw Gerrera, Morad Sumar, Jun Sato, Ryder Azadi, Cham Syndulla, Gobi Glie, Numa, AP-5, Jai Kell, Valen Rudor) had multiple voice actors for different episodes, some having as many as four. Also, all the returning clones were given new voices.
Clancy Brown has reportedly expressed disappointment in being typecast as villains (including Savage Opress in The Clone Wars) all the time, and even hated playing a vile prison guard in The Shawshank Redemption, so it's heartwarming here to see him playing the friendly Cool Old Guy Ryder Azadi here.
Liam O'Brien usually voices characters that are Ax-Crazy to some extent, Bishōnen, and/or sophisticated/well-mannered. Lyste is at least sophisticated (or tries to be), and so is Mr. Sumar to some degree as well.
Production Lead Time: A season is at least made a year in advance before it airs on television (as indicated by concept art time marks and mentions of how far along recording sessions are). Most plot points have already been planned ahead or discussed (including many of the guest star appearances of Star Wars veterans like Thrawn, who has been planned at least ever since late 2013, almost immediately after the announcement of The Clone Wars' cancellation), and several character arcs including the individual members of the Ghost crew. Many minor factors such as episode plots (as in, the endgames for character arc points were always planned, but not the entire road to getting to each one) were what were made up along the way. However, this creates problems with the fanbase. See the YMMV page.
Production Posse: Greg Weisman brought over a few voice actors from his previous works (particularly Young Justice), those being Steve Blum (Zeb and Count Vertigo), Vanessa Marshall (Hera and Black Canary, who was also a Team Mom — not to mention that she's Weisman's favorite DC character), Bryton James (Zare and Static), Eric Lopez (Oleg and Blue Beetle/Jaime; Lopez would also return as Jonner), Brent Spiner (Senator Trayvis and the Joker), Keone Young (Commander Sato and Sensei), Peter MacNicol (Tseebo and Professor Ivo), Clancy Brown (Governor Ryder Azadi and King Faraday). This mostly stops after Season 1 due to Weisman leaving the crew. Spiner, Young, and MacNicol are also Star Trek actors, which Weisman is also a fan of and has also done with this trope in his other shows.
Both Filoni and Hidalgo have admitted that some of the ideas the crew had brainstormed over (and decided to do, in some cases), are showing how much everyone of them is a Star Wars fan to the core. Probably the best example from Filoni:
Fan Question: Will Rebels see a younger and skinnier JekPorkins, and see how he became the man he is? Filoni:[laughing] Just to show you, that the creators of this show, are not that far apart from you...It has actually come up!
Freddie Prinze Jr. In interviews, he enjoys talking about different characters and their Character Development, and also gives out hints to what will come next. He has also watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars, adding that his favorite lightsaber fight in the entire franchise is Viszla vs. Maul.
In an interview, Dave Filoni said that while the story had grown considerably beyond that, to the point where it might not even happen at all, Maul's appearance in the story was catalyzed when the writers realized they had a chance to have a duel between him and Vader.
Reality Subtext: Dave Filoni's father passed away just a few weeks before recording "Jedi Night" and "DUME", which greatly informed how the crew reacted to losing their own father figure and having to deal with it and keep going.
Dave Filoni's original plans for Star Wars: The Clone Wars were to have a cast consisting of a smuggler, his girlfriend, a Gungan, and a Jedi Master-Padawan duo, who would've been travelling across the Galaxy on a ship similar to the Millennium Falcon, with movie characters only occasionally showing up. This idea was rejected by Lucas, who wanted the main characters of his movies to be the focus. However, these plans, with a few modifications to the cast members, came to be the premise of Rebels eight years later.
Shortly after Revenge of the Sith was released, it was announced that there were two Star Wars television shows in development — one was an animated series set between Episodes II & III, and the other was a live-action series set in the period of time between the two trilogies. Whilst the live-action show never surfaced, the premise would be revisited as an animated series with Rebels.
In the Young Justice episode "Illusion of Control", Henchy (voiced by Steve Blum) exclaims "Karabast!", being an Actor Allusion to Steve Blum's role as Zeb. Greg Weisman is also a writer for both shows.
In the final episodes of Season 4, Ian McDiarmid returns as the Emperor for the first time in 13 years, after he was previously voiced by Sam Witwer for a cameo in "The Siege of Lothal".
Screwed by the Network: An example that occurred after it was confirmed that the fourth season would be the last, and that the series would get a proper conclusion. Like Motorcity and TRON: Uprising before it, the final season's timeslot was moved to 12:30/1:00 AM on a Monday morning, with two episodes every week. Star Wars Rebels receiving this treatment has been compared to that of the final season of The Legend of Korra, which was also placed in late-night timeslots with two episodes airing every week at one point until the last half of the final season was moved to the online website. Considering The Legend of Korra wasn't popular among the target audience of the channel (who are children) due to darker tones and heavier continuity in comparison to other shows on the line-up, the same likely applies to Rebels (and it's not like this is the first timean animated show in the franchise got screwed by the same issue). They seem to have scrapped the 12:30 AM timeslot, new episodes return to airing at 9:00 PM though still on Monday, but are still airing two episodes a week, most likely in order to burn off the episodes quicker.
Shipper on Set: Steve Blum (who voices Zeb) was very vocal in his support of the "Kalluzeb" (Zeb/Kallus) ship, with him regularly hyping it up and saying how much he wanted it to happen. One of his most mentioned wants for Zeb is that he and Kallus would settle down on Lira San, which did happen (although without it being confirmed rather it was romantic or not), much to Blum's vocal joy as shown in this one interview:
"From the very first time Zeb and Kallus appeared together, I joked that someday they'd become a couple and end up on Lirasan (sic) together. I had NO idea that it would actually happen! It was the greatest gift anyone had ever given me in terms of a character's evolution. I've been thanking Dave Filoni ever since. The shippers went out of their minds and I wholeheartedly encourage that. Could just be buddies/brothers, but I love the idea that they could be more."
So My Kids Can Watch: The other main reason why most of the newcomer (both in the voice acting business and to the franchise) adult voice actors like Prinze, Gellar, Oyelowo, Anthony-Rodriguez, etc. are involved. Combined with Awesome, Dear Boy.
Spoiled by the Merchandise: Some of the Lego building sets spoil key moments and designs from later seaons. Such as Ahsoka making an appearance, Kallus joining the Rebels, Kanan being blinded, and Thrawn returning to canon. Downplayed since each set came out at least a year after the show's moment, and thus only spoilers to latecomers to the show.
Star-Making Role: Maybe. David Oyelowo's first major role in the voice acting industry as Agent Kallus was then followed up by being The Other Darrin for Scar in The Lion Guard, which also shares some fellow Star Wars animation voice actors, and even has Kevin Hopps writing for both shows.
In the Rebels Recon for "Vision of Hope", Dave Filoni talks about dropping clues to the audience about stuff like Fulcrum's identity, but also dropping misleading ones... while Fulcrum's symbol is right behind him.
In "Fire Across the Galaxy", the episode ends on the note of the Rebels boarding the Ghost to meet Fulcrum... And they come across Bail Organa, who was speculated to have the identity. About 30 seconds or so later, the actual Fulcrum (Ahsoka Tano) properly reveals herself.
Aftermath also contains an interlude chapter on Chandrila, where a character talks about an art-piece in the circle of the capital, Hanna City, consisting of Stormtrooper helmets painted over with Alliance insignias, starbursts, and flowers. She gets cut off before she can say the name of the artist. Huh.
And with Hidalgo's Propaganda book, it seems that the artist is indeed Sabine, who survives at least past A New Hope, becoming a famous Rebel propagandist.
During the wait between Season 2 and 3, prior to Celebration 2016 (as Filoni said that there would be a huge announcement regarding Rebels there), Filoni tweeted a picture of a spine of a Legends book. Fans managed to match it up with Heir to the Empire.
Ever since the public release of Sabine, fans had long been theorizing that she was the daughter of Rook Kast, based solely on their similar hairstyles, head shapes, and helmet markings. The assumptions since then had only increased once more of Sabine's backstory was revealed. It was not helped by Hidalgo openly saying on Twitter that Sabine's appearance was partly based on Kast, a Nite Owl (it already being known at the time that her mother was former Death Watch), an original color scheme, and "secret sauce".
And, of course, it turns out that Sabine's mother is not Rook Kast, but a new character, Ursa Wren.
Hera, Chopper, and the Ghost are in Rogue One? Awesome! But wait, why is the back of the Ghost, specifically, where a Phantom shuttle should be conveniently hidden from view...?
On a case bordering Lying Creator, when Star WarsYouTuber Dash Star interviewed Freddie about Season 3 and asked if Kallus is the new Fulcrum, Freddie hesitated for about a second before saying that he would love it and that he would be open to whoever Fulcrum is. Given that at the time of the video, Season 3 already wrapped up production and he should already know who Fulcrum is (unless it didn't get covered within the season), he clearly already knew and was avoiding the question. It's Kallus.
Upon being asked about the possibility of Zeb and Rukh duking it out, Steve Blum cheekily answered that it would be an interesting match-up. The Season 4 midseason trailer later revealed that they do indeed fight.
In the toyline, this was how Sabine's 6-inch figure was made. Hasbro held a competition for fans to choose the next 6-inch figure, with Sabine and Revan being two of the finalists. The race was so close between them that Hasbro decided to do them both.
In an interview with Jim Cummingsnote AfterbuzzTV episode for his first Rebels episode, he reveals that a combination of doing the voice work with the other actors there to work off of, and encouragement from the crew, ab libs are quite common, especially for Hondo. For example the "washed up old relics"/"your wife" exchange.
According to Tiya at Celebration 2016, after recording for Season 1, Filoni went to her and asked for how she wanted Sabine to look in the future. It ended up not being in Season 2 as Sabine's design for that season had already been finalized, but her request came to fruition in Season 3.
FPJ on one of his Twitch livestreams said that he might've (it was months since he recorded the episode, so he forgot if he did) made up the "I heard that!" response to Saw and Rex talking about how he's no Skywalker in "Ghosts of Geonosis".
Kanan's eyes clearing during his death wasn't originally part of "Jedi Night". Filoni was just drawing storyboards for the scene the scene and realized that he accidentally drew Kanan's eyes, then realized it fit the scene.
In the Rebels Recon episode for "Idiot's Array", Pablo Hidalgo is asked who Fulcrum is. He begins to explain only for the video to become corrupted and cut to a "please stand by" image, and cut to the preview of the next episode, leaving the question unanswered until the Season 1 finale.
In the Recon episode for "The Future of the Force", Filoni mentions that the Inquisitors were never a threat to Ahsoka during their fight with her. He then adds that there is a duel coming-up with much bigger implications for Ahsoka's fate. He then stares straight into the camera with such an evil troll grin it would make Sidious proud.
Filoni casually dropping that Ahsoka and the Bendu met after the events of "Mystery of Chopper Base", with the Bendu foretelling to Ahsoka that death/change will follow after learning the truth from the encounter on Malachor (yet implying that this death is not permanent or at least whatever Ahsoka may be thinking) and that this means goodbye for now.
A then-popular theory that Rook Kast was Sabine's mom was believed because of the amounting evidence by Word of God and other vague information... though one should have taken into suspicion that Word of Godwasn't even trying to hide Sabine's relation to Kast. The theory ended up being Debunked, with Rook's fate being currently unknown and Sabine's mother being a new character. While Word of God has yet to comment on it again, you have to wonder if they're making stealth takes at the fanbase by making having Sabine's homeworld be named Krownestnote Rooks and crows are closely related., and one of the clans that swears fealty to Bo-Katan near the end of the Mandalorian arc being named Clan Rook.
Voices in One Room: Like Star Wars: The Clone Wars before it. Of course, there are exceptions since some of the voice actors like Lars Mikkelsen and Tom Baker are overseas (the main recording studio being in California), in which case they record their lines in another professional studio with Filoni directing on Skype and send it over to Lucasfilm HQ.
Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: A certain multi-social media roleplaying group managed to get Freddie Prinze Jr. (and at least one other voice actor, possibly Vanessa Marshall) on their roleplay on Twitter back in Season 1. Apparently, these voice actors eventually found out about the group's notoriously unkind attitude towards others, and thus released a statement about how the fanbase should be positive and kind to others. They have since ceased interaction with the group.
Written-In Infirmity: Freddie Prinze Jr. had back surgery during recording for season 3, so Kanan was absent for some episodes and barely speaking in others to give him more time to recover.
in an interview how she didn't know she auditioned for Hera in this series. She was given a general description of the character, but nothing specific, including the fact that this was for a Star Wars series.
