Clone Wars he is back, which can mean only a few things: Oh, some of our favorites star Wars the characters in the galaxy have returned. Two? It's all close end sadly for many of them. However Rex and Ahsoka will come out of the Cone Wars …too much It doesn't matter, and in a word that follows the former, their relationship speaks to one of the show's greatest features.
"I have to say – we, as the voice actors … the actors in this show, in particular, we really care about these actors. We really interact with them," Dee Bradley Baker, voice of Rex, Cody, and the Clone army of the Republic completely Clone Wars, recently told i9. That connection with the world and characters means that looking at the cost of the Clone War is a difficult thing for Baker not to think about.
“For me, it is not easy for a dead person to die or to have something in common” (dying in season six). Those were the arcs challenges for me to get through, emotionally and personally. Because as a voice actor, I don't bring my work home with me. I did my thing and I did. And then I'll be free when I get home, ”explains Baker. “But there have been episodes of Clone Wars it has always been very touching that I have to deal with myself, and work my way up, because … these Clones in particular, are cool. And they are not cartoon characters that are either unique or interesting or stylised. They feel human. ”
He continued. “And I think that's kind of the key to what you're attracted to. They are heroic and they are super powerful and honest, but they are human. They are not the worst people in the world. And of course, when they are shot or killed or they see the tragedy of the Clone Wars or see that, it affects me … So there is a connection that I have (that) I think the other actors in the show are more engaged with their characters. ”
For Baker, the personality that makes the Clones compelling and includes another series & # 39; s this irritating, but most powerful, tale: the emergence of a bond between Captain Rex and Ahsoka Tano (played by Ashley Eckstein). Something we know now, thanks many years since Clone Wars kept me on screens, that their friendship grows into a period of Star Wars Rebels, and maybe forward in the timeline otherwise.
"There is a lot of water under the bridge with Ahsoka and Rex," Baker told the impact of the young padawan-who was now a padawan, after bitterly leaving the Jedi Order behind – had Rex's exposure, in Clone Wars otherwise. "(Since) the first meeting of the two, Rex has gradually released, and (freed) his submissive style. I think that is a testament to his working with Ahsoka and Anakin for so long. And that they won all this together? this fall and make the end of the Clone Wars, it's real achievement. It's fun, and very satisfying, to be able to play that, in the end. "
The ease and contentment of Baker feels he was able to bring this important chapter to the story of Rex and Ahsoka is something he shared with fans about the return of the show last season. “We all thought it would never happen, and I know the fans and the fans Clone Wars
“We see Rex, very old and know that he and Ashoka did it all the way to Endor. It is, therefore, part of the ongoing proverbial, friendly, cooperative, and collaborative process, that goes beyond Clone Wars, ”he said. “But this is a decisive moment for both of us. There have been a lot of great things that have happened so far, however what is to come and Clone Wars& # 39; Last season worked differently in that beautiful space opera star Wars. ”
That access to Baker is a bit of a stretch, because it means putting an end to a specific period of his engagement with star Wars that speaks to him not just as an actor, but as a lover of the galaxy far, far away. “This job, the idea is different between my award. I don't think I will ever be in a better show. And I have never had a role as such an amazing voice actor, ”Baker said. “Plus, it comes back to my life – I'm a fan, I was like a baby. Send me a photo on social media of the Japanese dress my parents made for me in the summer of 1977. I have had a long interest star Wars. And I can say, as most people do, that the main reason why I go to Hollywood as an actor, or in the entertainment industry, is because my enthusiasm goes back to that movie. ”
Clone Wars has given Baker a chance to put his mark in his favorite spot, so far, that, by many and the face – well, the voice – of the Clone Troopers, an obvious exposure and not just a basic feature of Clone Wars, but star Wars first season. However, it is only fitting that the actor lends a single voice that is heard in the military, captains, captains and heroes, Brown strives for his career to continue Clone Wars undoubtedly a team effort.
"Animation is a profoundly collaborative process, and while I do voice acting and the imagination of the characters literally … the rest of the story, there are hundreds of artists and professionals and amazing people to make each piece of" what is, "Baker said when asked about his status among fans as Clone Troopers. "So, I will receive some compliments and appreciations, of course, on what I bring to the character. and tears on all fronts of this. I can see that this was a partnership. I'll take credit for the fun and thank you, but I want to make sure that people who love the show can see it & # 39;The whole team of artists and professionals make this a wonderful show that they love. ”
Not to mention that it takes a whole lot of army.
