Star Wars: Rebels will be continuing its second season on January 20th with an episode titled “A Princess on Lothal”, as previously reported.
The episode will feature the debut of Princess Leia Organa on Rebels, making her the latest character from the films to appear in the show. She is voiced by Julie Dolan (Detention, Beverly Hills Cop III, Star Wars: Uprising).
You can watch a clip from the episode here:
Executive producer Dave Filoni had the following to say on bringing Leia into the show:
“We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope. One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent.”
Star Wars: Rebels is set to return on January 20th.
