Bryan Young, AKA @swankmotron from Big Shiny Robot, was at Salt Lake City Comic Con’s FanXperience this weekend where he got a big scoop: Jim Cummings, the voice of Hondo Ohnaka of The Clone Wars fame, will be lending the Weequay pirate’s voice to Star Wars Rebels in a future episode(s)!

“‘And I think I’m allowed to tell you I’m back,’ he told us, and elaborated further later saying that, ‘He’ll be back, but we do them so far in advance I don’t know when. So you’ll just have to watch them all. I do anyway, so what the heck.'”

Hondo is one of the most popular characters original to The Clone Wars series, so his return to the television screen will be most welcome, indeed!

You can listen to Big Shiny Robot’s interview with Jim Cummings in their latest Full of Sith episode here, which they recorded on a live panel at Salt Lake City Comic Con.
