As the premiere of
Star Wars: Rebels nears, some more details have been revealed, including connections to some familiar faces and locations.
James Arnold Taylor apparently returns to voice Obi-Wan; but, maybe, not quite as you'd expect, he appears as a holograph recording in an early episode.*
Harry Potter's Jason Issacs plays The Imperial Inquisitor.**
"Imperial agent Kallus is the main enemy of the two-episode series premiere, which also features Wookiees."**
A
Devaronian named Vizago is an underground dealer/crime lord on Lothal.*
You can also expect to see a
holocron (as shown by one of the upcoming LEGO sets), the Kessel spice mines (metioned by C-3PO in
A New Hope), and "lots of Wookiees."
