Hey everyone. This Friday, at San Diego Comic-Con, Wikia will be conducting interviews with four members of the Star Wars Rebels cast: Tiya Sircar (Sabine), Taylor Gray (Ezra), Vanessa Marshal (Hera), and Steve Blum (Zeb). This interview will be user-generated, so you have an opportunity to submit questions that you would like asked of the cast. I would offer two suggestions for the questions:
- Think about what the actors can actually answer. They're probably tight-lipped on spoilers, so expect vague answers.
- Think about what might be helpful in sourcing/adding to a Wookieepedia page. The right question may lead to some new information on the actors or their characters.
I've split this page up into sections, so you can ask general questions and actor-specific questions. If you arrived on this page from Facebook or Twitter, we recommend that you create an account so we have a username to put next to the question. Remember to sign your post by typing four tildes, like so: ~~~~
Please submit your questions by Thursday. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea(talk) 21:56, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

- Does Ezra knows that he can use the force? --DarthRuiz30 (talk) 01:25, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Your character is described as having been a con artist and thief who lived on his own. Will this create a lot of friction as he learns to work with others in the growing rebellion? ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:05, July 24, 2014 (UTC)
For Vanessa Marshall (Hera)
- Is Hera related to Cham Syndulla, and if so, how has/will that character and his status as a hero of the Twi'leks influence Hera and your portrayal of her (i.e. is she striving to fill his shoes, trying to get out from under his shadow, etc.)? —MJ— Holocomm 02:29, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
- Is Hera involved in the Twi'lek resistance on Ryloth? Was she present during the "Battle of Ryloth" during the Clone Wars? Nivlacanator (talk)
For Steve Blum (Zeb)
- Who is Zeb, and Why is he fighting against the Empire? Nivlacanator (talk)
- As a Star Wars fan yourself how do you see Zeb developing as a character throughout the series? Nivlacanator (talk)
- What's your most memorable Star Wars moment? (Nivlacanator)
For everyone
- Are you Firefly fans? Have the characters in that show influenced your approach to the characters in this one? --Alientraveller (talk) 22:11, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Are you familiar with any of the legends content? If so what's the one element you'd most like to see brought back into canon in Rebels? Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:37, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
- Do any of you have any idea of how many seasons you all might go?--You may call me Mr. Darth (talk) 23:31, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
- Have you ever saw Star Wars before been cast? Which is your favorite movie of the saga?--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 01:20, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
- What would you say are the biggest similarities and differences between Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels? Adamwankenobi (talk) 03:58, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Are you looking forward to seeing other Star Wars characters from the two trilogies and the Clone Wars Series appearing in Rebels? Nivlacanator (talk)
- What has been your funniest experience in filming Rebels? Nivlacanator (talk)
- How do you feel about doing a star wars series with not one, but TWO strong female leads? The only other lead females we've seen on-screen were Leia and Padme, who were mostly passive diplomats, and Ahsoka, who was a padawan. Did Ahsoka's fan success influence the inclusion of two strong females? (From my wife lol)Manoof (talk) 12:31, July 24, 2014 (UTC)
- In the clone wars tv series, the last we saw of Ahsoka was when she decided to leave the Jedi Order. Would you like to see her return for this series, if only for a brief cameo? Manoof (talk) 12:31, July 24, 2014 (UTC)
- Will we see characters from The Clone Wars? or will see a little Han, Leia, and Luke? --JT Official (talk) 16:18, July 24, 2014 (UTC)
- Based on what you've done so far, how would you describe the show? Obviously, we're dealing with some dark stuff with the galaxy in the grip of the Empire, but I understand they're also trying to create a sense of fun. In describing The Clone Wars, George Lucas referred to it as being "It's sort of the first dramatic animated show that is, um, PG-13." Is this going to be something like that, or more intended even for younger audiences, but still something to enjoy for the adult Star Wars fan as well?
