Zira's VO[]

So, we established that the press release has gotten Zira's VO wrong on the account of Suzanne Pleshette being dead for eight years, but it got me thinking: what if they're using stock Zira voice clips instead of recording a new voice? We'll know for certain when the episode airs (because if they HAVE recorded new material, the episode should feature the correct VO name for Zira) but it's just a thought.

This occurred to me as well. I heard a rumor that they were going to recycle deleted footage from the sequel, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt considering the information originated on Tumblr. I would be willing to alter the trivia on the article to include this possibility, but it should be carefully worded so that we don't mislead our readers. --Honeyfur 17:14, October 31, 2016 (UTC)
It's definitly a new voice and from the sounds of things, the voice actress in question is Nika Futterman, whose other notable TV series villain role was Asajj Ventress in The Clone Wars. Wikipedia has made the change to apparently confirm this but their source is the press release which doesn't mention it, so I can't 100% say, but I think it is her. What the press release also doesn't say now is that Suzanne Pleshette is reprising. They've removed that from the press release. Ggctuk (talk) 22:37, November 4, 2016 (UTC)
Since Pleshette has been removed from the press release, I will fix the trivia. I've noticed that other wikis have been adding Futterman as her new voice actress, but since there's no reliable source stating as much, we'll have to hold off until we can be sure. --Honeyfur 02:04, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
