Episodes 11-20 of Star Wars Clone Wars begin airing March 20 on Cartoon Network. In addition to continuing the storyline begun in the fall, new episodes will feature Mace Windu and Yoda. A robot warrior named General Grievous will be introduced, who will later appear in the theatrical Star Wars Episode III.
Returning as main characters are Mat Lucas as Anakin Skywalker, James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO and Tom Kane as Yoda. Grey De Lisle is once again Padmé Amidala and Asajj Ventress. She will add Shaak Ti to her list of characters, as the beautifully exotic alien Jedi Master appears in the final episode.
Kevin Michael Richardson will provide the voice of the tusked Whiphid Jedi, K'Kruhk. He has leant his voice to Star Wars video games in the past, portraying Mace Windu and Eeth Koth in games such as Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles. He is the voice of Jolee Bindo in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. He can also be heard as Deus Ex Machina in The Matrix: Revolutions.
Daran Norris, who voiced Durge in the first season, will play Jedi Masters Ki-Adi-Mundi and Daakman Barrek. Norris plays Mr. Turner on "The Fairly Odd Parents," and he can be seen in Mark Hamill's Comic Book: The Movie as an ersatz Commander Courage.
Playing Luminara Unduli is Cree Summer. Her distinctive voice is often recognized as Penny from the "Inspector Gadget" series, and she was on-camera on "A Different World" as Freddie. She has a connection to the animated Star Wars universe, providing the voice of Princess Kneesaa in the first season of "Ewoks."
Tatyana Yassukovich plays Barriss Offee. She can be heard as the voice of the storyteller in 2000's Chocolat.
Andre Sogliuzzo returns to play Captain Typho. The actor also provides the voice of all the clone troopers, the ARC troopers, and the battle droids. He also provided the voice of the clones in LucasArts' Star Wars: Clone Wars video game.
Known to many fans as the voice of Bender on "Futurama," John DiMaggio not only plays a Padawan in the micro-series, but is also the menacing voice of General Grievous in the series. General Grievous is an Episode III character who makes his debut in the final episode of Star Wars: Clone Wars. Don't expect much in common between Grievous and Bender though. The General of the droid army isn't likely to invite any Jedi to bite his shiny metal posterior.
Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series begins again on March 26 on the Cartoon Network, and online on starwars.com Hyperspace, with exclusive audio commentary by creator Genndy Tartakovsky.
