Sarah Michelle Gellar's STAR WARS REBELS Role Revealed
When it was first announced that the former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star had joined the cast of Star Wars Rebels season 2, most of us assumed she'd be voicing Princess Leia. Well, her actual character is quite a bit more sinister! Find out more after the jump...
That's no Princess! Sarah Michelle Gellar has exclusively revealed to Buzz Feed that she will in fact be playing one of the new villains on season 2 of Disney XD's Star Wars Rebels: an Inquisitor known as "The Seventh Sister".
Gellar - who will get to spar with her husband Freddy Prinze Jr., who plays Kannan - is a massive Star Wars fan, and jumped at the chance to play this very dangerous character. “They would record my mannerisms," the actress explained. "Sometimes when I would get into character I would do certain things with my hands, and then a couple weeks later I would see that in the drawing. They sort of reflect and mirror each other.”
