Freddie Prinze Jr is about to lend his voice for the role of the Jedi in Disney’s Star Wars Rebels.
It’s been a long time since Freddie Prinze Jr landed a role in a film or television series. But the fact of the matter is that he is a father and wants to concentrate on that particular aspect of his life.
Growing up without a dad was a stressful experience and he does not want his progeny to be fatherless. Meanwhile, he is also interested in voiceovers at present.
Some of the work he has done is in relation to: Shark Bait, Happily N’Ever After, Delgo and Mass Effect: Paragon Lost not to mention Kim Possible: A Stitch in Time.
And now he has just gotten a chance to be the voice behind the role of Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels. In fact, Freddie was unaware that the project was a Star Wars spinoff. He had thought that it was an animation.
Freddie said that the moment he learnt that it was all about Star Wars he got so worked up about the whole thing that his skin broke out in goose bumps. He felt honored to be a part of the whole enterprise.
The Star Wars Rebels production is set somewhere in the middle of the SW story line. And at its center lies Kanan Jarrus. He is a leader among leaders. The Empire is at its peak during the episode shown in the film.
It mismanages its underlings by abusing its authority and pilfering the land, produce and products not to mention the money of the farmers. While most of the people do not resist this breach of their fundamental rights, there are a few who band together and fight back.
All Jedis are in hiding except for Freddie Prinze’s character who is a rebel with a cause. The movie is the stuff that almost everyone would want to watch at least once in a lifetime. It has got Freddie enthused and he really wants to be part of the whole deal.
