Interview with the voice of Hera, Vanessa Marshall
excerpt:
Marshall: I will say, I adore the tone of the original trilogy films: the witty banter, the biting comments back and forth, as well as the unconditional love beneath all that bickering. I would say Star Wars Rebels has that exact same pacing, energy, and endearing quality. As I said, Hera has assembled this motely crew – they’re slightly dysfunctional and brutally honest with each other. This chosen family, whose bond is almost stronger than blood, they face impossible odds, they learn to trust each other, take action in the face of injustice and oppression… and all the while, it’s wisecracks galore! So at once the stakes are incredibly high, the bickering is crazy intense, but the underlying love itself is there. That adds up to a whole experience that’s both fun and funny! I really think people are going to care about these characters and the fate of their mission. I know that every episode delivers on a spectacular adventure!
