THR just unveiled the latest addition to Disney/Lucasfilm’s next animated series, Star Wars Rebels. The new character named Sabine will be voiced by actress Tiya Sircar and has been described as:
“She is a Mandalorian, and is
described as "sassy," "spunky," "feisty" and has
"a little bit of attitude." She has an expert's knowledge of weapons
and arms, with an affinity for blowing things up. "She does it with
flair," Sircar says of Sabine, who also moonlights as a graffiti artist.
"She's definitely one who's
turned against the Empire and that's going to be to the Rebels' benefit,"
as executive producer Dave Filoni hints in the behind-the-scenes featurette
above. As Joel Aron, CG supervisor of lighting and FX, says, "She's adding
something that we haven't really seen before in the Star Wars universe. You
have a character that is expressively creative through art -- whether it's the
color of her hair or what she's done to her armor."”
Star Wars Rebels already counts
with some characters like Zeb (Steve Blum), Ezra (Taylor Gray), Kanan (Freddie
Prince Jr.), Hera (Vanessa Marshall), Chopper the astrodroid, Lando Calrissian
(Billy Dee Williams) and The Inquisitor.
The series is set between
Episodes VIII and IV, but closer to IV in a time where the Empire is pretty
well established and is looking to expand to the Outer Rim territories and the
beginnings of the Rebellion.
Star Wars Rebels is set to
premiere in the Fall of 2014 as an one hour special on the Disney Channel and
then as a regular series on Disney XD channels around the World.
