Kara “Starbuck” Thrace herself, Katee Sackoff, confirmed that she will be doing voice work on upcoming episodes of The Clone Wars via Twitter. She’s done a lot of work with Seth Green and Matt Senreich on Robot Chicken and they’re working on a Star Wars property on their own, so her new connection to The Clone Wars isn’t all that surprising.
But who could she be playing?
I haven’t the faintest idea. But it’s fun to speculate wildly, isn’t it?
There are a number of characters we can clearly cross of the list, characters that have appeared on the show before that she might have been fit to play. Characters like Aayla Secura or Mon Mothma. Or characters that would have been awesome but are dead, like Zam Wessel.
But something tells me she’s going to play a really kick-ass character. Would they waste her on someone who was just a minor character? I doubt it.
But they’ve been making a habit of bringing in characters from the classic trilogy and bringing them into the show. The problem is, the only major, kick-ass female character from the classic trilogy (Leia) hasn’t been born yet.
Could she be playing a Bounty Hunter? Or a pilot? Or a Jedi?
Could they be borrowing from the Expanded Universe and bring in someone like Admiral Daala? They’ve already brought Tarkin into the mix, why not his lover?
Who do you guys think she’s going to play? We’re probably all wrong, so don’t feel bad about throwing ANYTHING out there. If nothing else, who would you like to see her play?
