Princess Leia: STAR WARS REBELS

Star Wars Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni has previously teased that Lucasfilm would be bringing a new major character from the original Star Wars trilogy into the animated series. We've now learned that Princess Leia Organa will make her debut on the show as a teenager.

TV Insider has some information on her role in the story saying, “The teenage princess is sent to Lothal—the base planet for the series’ main characters, a group of rebel fighters—on a secret mission to bring ships for the rebel fleet. Unfortunately, an Imperial lockdown throws that plan into chaos.”

Filoni also talked about bringing the character into the series in the press release we received:

“We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope. One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent.”

He went on to say:

The Empire sees her as a privileged princess who runs mercy missions to wayward worlds, but in truth she is much stronger and more dangerous than they imagine.”

The episode she will be in is called “A Princess in Lethal,” and it’s set to air on January 20th. It will be her only appearance this season. There’s no word on if we’ll see her again in the series, but since she is being introduced, there’s always a chance that she could come back.

The voice of the character will be provided by Julie Dolan, who played Leia in the video game Star Wars: Uprising. Other characters from the original trilogy that have made their way into the series include Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, Yoda, and Lando Calrissian.

It's a pretty good series though I wish they had chosen a better animation style.
