Vanessa Marshall Talks Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars VII

*I am attending this event as a guest of Disney/ABC/DisneyXD and any opinions are 100% my own.

I landed in LA on May 4th, Star Wars Day. We couldn’t have celebrated the upcoming release of Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars VII. What better way than with a Star Wars Rebels Dinner!

Not only did we hang out with Stormtroopers, R2D2 and Chopper. We got the amazing pleasure to Interview Vanessa Marshall! 

Vanessa is an amazingly inspirational woman. She is also a kick butt member of the Star Wars Rebels voice cast, as Hera. 

Considering that Vanessa Marshall has a HUGE geekified love for Star Wars, it makes sense that she is eagerly looking forward to Star Wars VII like many of us!

Interview with Vanessa Marshall

During the Star Wars Rebels Dinner, we got a sneak peek at an upcoming Star Wars Rebels Episode! Whether you are an old fan, new fan, child or adult, you are going to find something you love about Star Wars Rebels.

Awesome animation, incredible story lines, and  humorous banter between characters is going to pull you in. Not to mention the amazing voice cast that includes Vanessa, Freddie Prinze Jr., Taylor Gray, Ben Diskin, and Tiya Sircar!

One thing that stood out to me during our interview with Vanessa Marshall was how much she related Star Wars to life experiences. She grew up with a very famous mother, Joan Van Ark, that you may remember from Dallas and Knots Landing.

As the child of a celebrity, she often felt less important than the fans and the business. She could have chosen to got to the Darkside, or be like Luke, and use the force and embrace it.

I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be the child of a famous person. Vanessa definitely came out of it a shining star herself!

“I’m grateful God blessed me with this talent and being in the right place at the right time.” – Vanessa Marshall

 All right, time to share all the juicy details that Vanessa Marshall shared about Star Wars Rebels!

  • It tells the origin story of the Rebel Alliance.
  • Set between Star Wars III and Star Wars Episode IV.
  • Star Wars Rebels has 6 Hero Characters: Hera, Kana, Ezra, Zeb, Sabine, and Chopper – to learn more about them, check out my post here!
  • Luke and Leia are 12 years old in Star Wars Rebels.
  • Chopper was the first R2D2 rendering.
  • Zeb is based on the original Chewbacca design.
  • The voice cast of Star Wars Rebels did their voice recordings together which is actual rare for animations.

 Are you excited about Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars VII?!

    How fun was this event?! It was so great to meet Vanessa and I loved meeting another woman who is just as big of a Star Wars fan as I, if not bigger! Thanks for sharing your experience!
