He’s been Admiral Raddus, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Grand Moff Tarkin, playing heroes and villains for many years, and all the while being a fierce friend to our fandom. Dan Brooks at StarWars.com takes a look at the GFFA career of Stephen Stanton in this fascinating long form interview.

For years, actor Stephen Stanton has been something of a secret weapon in Star Wars. A vocal chameleon, he’s brought original characters to life and portrayed fan favorites, all in beyond-convincing fashion. (His old Ben Kenobi in the Star Wars Rebels episode “Twin Suns” is a must-hear voice-acting masterwork, FYI.) With Star Wars Rebels returning for its final run of episodes starting on Monday, February 19 on Disney XD, StarWars.com spoke with Stanton — armed with his personal journal of recording memories — at length, running at random through the many heroes, villains, and singing droids that he’s played in everything from Star Wars: The Clone Wars to Star Wars Rebels.
