SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR TO STAR IN SEASON 2 OF "STAR WARS REBELS"
In the hours after the "Star Wars Rebels" season finale aired on Disney XD, its executive producer/supervising director Dave Filoni revealed that actress Sarah Michelle Gellar ("The Crazy Ones," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") will join the voice cast in a recurring role for season two of the animated series.

Filoni discussed the casting news with advertising clients convened at Lucasfilm's San Francisco headquarters for Disney Media Sales and Marketing's presentations. Filoni said, "We’re thrilled to have Sarah Michelle Gellar on board for season two. She is a true 'Star Wars Rebels' fan and her passion undoubtedly comes through in the voice recording sessions."

Sarah Michelle Gellar will join the talented voice cast that includes her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., Vanessa Marshall, Steve Blum, Tiya Sircar, Taylor Gray and David Oyelowo. The popular "Star Wars Rebels" series has reached over 49 million Total Viewers, 5.6 million Boys 6-11 and 10.9 million Kids 6-11. Its season finale revealed the identity of Fulcrum to be Ahsoka Tano. The storyline will continue into season two.

Continuing the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga, "Star Wars Rebels" unfolds between the events of Star Wars Episodes III and IV and tells the story of the motley but clever crew of the starship Ghost who together face threatening new villains, encounter colorful adversaries and embark on thrilling adventures. In its second season, "Star Wars Rebels" will feature recurring appearances by fan-favorite characters including Darth Vader and Ahsoka Tano.

@batman001 you know how it works here, if the story is big enough an editor will take it, regardless of who posted it first or better. I figured that with the whole MIB/21 jump street fiasco i went through.

Ahsoka isn't jail bait anymore which good, so when my mind inevitably wanders down gutter street i won't have a guilty conscious.

Ok, that's a lie...I photoshopped it. You weren't FIVE article behind me. I'm evil and I steal articles from users because it gives me kicks..even though I gain nothing from it and have 1000 other items I could be writing about for several different websites.

Believe what you like, I'm sick of explaining myself to people who are too stubborn and single minded to even comprehend the argument they're having. From now on any "waaaaaa! I posted first! Thief!" type comments will simply be deleted or, if they persist and enter troll territory, reported, and the site owner can deal with them.
