Stephen Stanton
Recording Rebels? |
Recently, Stephen Stanton who
played several voices for Star Wars: The Clone Wars to include the infamous
Tarkin posted the picture below on his Facebook page. I think he is telling us that he is in a
recording session for the new animated series Star Wars Rebels. And who might he
be recording a voice for? None other than Tarkin I'm sure. We know from
interviews with The Clone Wars voice actors that they record dialog for a show
more than a year out from the time it airs. The timing of a recording session
would be just right for Rebels. Will Tarkin be a Moff or a Governor during the
time of Rebels? Only time will tell, but I am really looking forward to this new
show that will be released in the fall of 2014. Especially being we will have
familiar voice actors playing the parts. It is like spending time with your
close friends again. Can't wait!

TeeKay-421
Magazine 65 Published |
Our good friends and fellow SWORA
member TeeKay-421, the
Belgian Star Wars fanclub have sent in some news!
The 65th Magazine of TeeKay-421, the Belgian Star Wars fanclub,
was published in September. It features cover art by Joe Corroney and Chris Dee.
The magazine has an extensive report on Celebration Europe II and has exclusive
interviews with Corey Burton (Cad Bane, Dooku, ...), Joe Corroney and Bonnie
Piesse (Beru Whitesun). The central theme of the magazine is ‘Skywalkers’ and
therefore there are several articles about the legendary family, including one
about ‘The Chosen One’. We also continue our special feature of ‘Shadows of the
Empire’ with articles about the soundtrack and the merchandising. The latest
books are also reviewed, including ‘The Clone Wars Episode Guide’ and ‘Complete
Vehicles’. For fans of Vintage Kenner we have an article about unusual
photography on the Vintage figure cards. Fans of games can check-out features of
‘Star Wars Angry Birds’ and a review of the new card game of Fantasy Flight
Games.
Be sure to check it out!
