20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Unsurprisingly, many a Star Wars loving performer in our own galaxy jumped at the chance to lend their voices to this animated Clone Wars spin-off.

And joining the superb main cast members like Matt Lanter, James Arnold Taylor, Ashley Eckstein, and Dee Bradley Baker as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, and a ton of other figures in the series, were some properly eye-catching names - some that you probably didn't even realise were behind the characters in question.

First of all, Luke Skywalker himself and one of the greatest voiceover performers of all time, Mark Hamill, could be heard playing one of the most powerful Sith Lords ever, Darth Bane, in season six's 'Sacrifice' episode.

Elsewhere, there were also appearances from Ron Perlman as Gha Nachkt in 'Downfall of a Droid' and 'Duel of the Droids' in season one, Simon Pegg as Dengar in the 'Bounty' season four chapter, George Takei as General Lok Durd in the season one 'Defenders of Peace' episode, and even Jon Favreau threw in his voice to play Pre Viszla throughout the show.

David Tennant would also first voice Huyang - eventually seen in the Ahsoka series - during season five, and Ray Parks would return as Maul for his duel with Ahsoka in season seven, using motion capture to bring his physical performance to the sequence.

And last but not least, Liam Neeson made a return as Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit in the series, too.
