Star Wars Rebels, for instance, effectively introduced several characters who have now become fan-favorites.
The Star Wars films tend to do an effective job of adding characters to the ever-expanding franchise, but one could argue that the animated projects do it just as well (if not better).
With this, many are hoping that some of them will make the jump to live-action at sometime in the future. While it’s uncertain if such a thing will happen it, it looks like one Rebels actor is game to return should the opportunity present itself.
