Think Episode VII is the only project that gets rumor attention? Well, think again. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that David Oyelowo, Freddie Prinze Jr., Vanessa Marshall, Taylor Gray and Steven Jay Blum are in talks star in the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels. There have been previous rumours that Oyelowo was in talks to appear in Episode VII. There is a Star Wars Rebels panel coming at New York Comic Con next month, perhaps we'll get casting confirmations then.
Little more is known about Star Wars Rebels, the series is set between Episodes III and IV and is slated to debut with a one hour premier on Disney Channel, written by executive producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past), followed by the series on Disney XD in fall 2014. The series features also Dave Filoni (Clone Wars) and Gregg Weissman (Young Justice) as executive producers.
This cast sounds interesting, though I can't say I've heard of any of them. Hopefully some of the Clone Wars veterans will appear on the show. Tom Kane, the actor who portrayed Yoda on The Clone Wars, has hinted at his involvement in the past.
