Speaking with Gaming Bible at last months Celebration Anaheim, the one and only Temuera Morrison made no secret of the fact that – while he remained short of confirming what the game could be – there is something coming in the gaming realm that involves him, an arena of creativity Morrison is clearly impressed with.
“I do a few voices for those video games. Very hard work, harder than acting,” Morrison said. “You try and get some emotion into a voiceover, all the instructions as well, you know? ‘Turn left, go right, you missed, try again’.”
Having millions of clone troopers all voiced by one person could easily become tedious very quickly, but thanks to Temuera’s infectious energy and emphatic performances, every project he works on is brimming with charm. He noted during the Episode II: Attack of the Clones 20th Anniversary celebration panel – one of the many panels that took place over the Celebration weekend – that he had a blast doing the voice work on Republic Commando, and when asked if he’d be keen to pick up Republic Commando 2 or perhaps a Boba Fett game, the star was characteristically enthusiastic.
“Oh yes, oh yes. Definitely. The gaming is where it’s all at, too, because with a movie or a TV show it’s all over but with a game, you can be there a bit longer. There will be some coming, I can let you know that.”
