While on The ForceCast tonight, The Clone Wars Supervising Director Dave Filoni revealed some new information that should interest fans of The Force Unleashed and TCW alike.

"Coming up," Filoni told Jason and Jimmy, "You're actually going to have some people returning to portray characters in the Star Wars universe [who] have played [Star Wars] characters already. [...] I brought [in] Sam Witwer [...] and Adrienne Wilkinson to play characters in [TCW], though they are not playing the Secret Apprentice [...] or Maris Brood."

"I've met all the The Force Unleashed people," Filoni continued. "I know they're big fans of Star Wars. [...] I had some characters that I thought those two would suit nicely ... you will be hearing their voices in the future on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It was great to have them become a part of the project. Sam is definitely one of the most knowledgeable fans of Star Wars I've ever met. To be honest, he is deep into stuff. That was a huge asset for me while creating the episode."

Jimmy did confirm with Filoni that Witwer and Wilkinson's voicework would appear in a Season 3 episode.

Check back on Friday when the full show will be posted at ForceCast.Net!


UPDATE: On the heels of the Qui-Gon TCW news breaking, Sam Witwer posted the following today on his Facebook page:

"Um... Liam Neeson. Qui Gon Jinn... In my Clone Wars eps. Just sayin."

Looks like we'll be hearing both Sam's and Liam's voices in the next trilogy of Clone Wars episodes, which will center around the mysterious planet of Mortis. Cant wait!


Thanks to Jimmy Mac for the heads up!
