I have zero interest in the CW cartoon.
That said, I know about Pegg criticizing the prequels and the recent blu-ray changes. But, as a big OT fan he probably jumped at the idea of voicing an OT character. I'm more surprised that Lucas has seemingly overlooked Pegg's criticism, as George seems to be very sensitive to criticism.
At the end of the day, it's just a paycheck for Simon Pegg.
My interest level in the CW cartoon (or any other modern-produced SW material) remains at zero.
