In Tales of the Empire, Meredith Salenger Reconnects with Barriss Offee

Meredith Salenger, like the rest of us, has been waiting a decade to find out what became of Barriss Offee. “I was left wondering forever just like the fans!” Salenger tells StarWars.com. “Dave [Filoni] told me there were things to come for her, but he never said what.”

The actor stood in a line that wrapped around the block when she went to see Star Wars: A New Hope in theaters with her father the first time and her affinity for the galaxy far, far away only grew when she was first cast to voice Barriss in the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. “Just being in the booth with Dave Filoni is so special because he gives you such a great backstory on the character,” Salenger says. “After

In Tales of the Empire, Diana Lee Inosanto Resurrects Morgan Elsbeth

Inside the recording booth, Diana Lee Inosanto swapped her beskar spear for a pen. She wore comfortable clothes instead of one of Morgan Elsbeth’s costumes. The rest of the performance, however, was much the same.

“It’s still the same approach, the same commitment, the same breathing, the same physicality,” she tells StarWars.com. “Now, when I watch Pedro Pascal doing his behind-the-scenes [recordings, holding a pillow in place of Grogu,] I get it.”

But the first time Dave Filoni suggested that Elsbeth might live on in animation, Inosanto thought it was a joke. They were in production for the Ahsoka series at the time, set after fans first met the Magistrate of Calodan in The Mandalorian. “He said something about being able to go to work in sweatpants. And then when I got

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Comes to a “Spectacular Finish”

After the Season 2 finale of Star Wars: The Batch, Clone Force 99 actor Dee Bradley Baker sat down for an unusual writing assignment: a eulogy for Bad Batch’s fallen soldier, Tech. Penned from the perspective of Echo, two of the many characters Baker has expertly voiced over three seasons of The Bad Batch, seven seasons of The Clone Wars, and countless other shows, the exercise was an essential part of Baker’s process. “The loss of Tech hit everyone hard,” Baker tells StarWars.com. “And this was just for myself, Echo writing out how he looks at this. Because Tech got to finish his life in a way that saved the mission and it saved his team. That’s how I frame it for myself, as this heroic and admirable finish to
