"Writing dialogue for any of the legacy characters is as big a thrill as anything I’ve ever had in my life. I said this to [producer Katherine Kennedy] that when I open up a Final Draft document, and I tab over to “Character” and it’s a character from the original films—to be nameless until people see them—but if it’s a character from the original films, just typing in those letters and then that being the recorded name in that name database for that script is as surreal, and perhaps more so, than anything I’ve experienced in my career. "
During an Interview with Collider, Star Wars: Rebels Executive Producer revealed that he has written dialogue for characters of the Original trilogy. He didn't say who he wrote it for, but there have been rumours that Billy Dee Williams has done voice work for Lando in Rebels.
I'm personally excited for this. What do you guys think? Comment below in the usual place.
