The Jedi Battle the Undead

Considering it was pitched as "Rise of the Bounty Hunters," it has been a while since Cad Bane and his ilk played a significant role in any episode. This week, in "Legacy of Terror," yet another obstacle to the Jedi presents itself, as Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Luminara Unduli battle Geonosian queen Karina the Great and her army of undead warriors.

This week's episode prominently features Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, voiced by Olivia d'Abo. D'Abo's voice should be familiar to GeekDad readers from a variety of series: Green Lantern: First Flight (as Carol Ferris); Ultimate Avengers I and II (as Black Widow); Justice League (as Star Sapphire and Morgaine Le Fey); Batman Beyond (as Ten/Melanie Walker); and even Mortal Kombat (as Sonya Blade). She says:

“I love science-fiction, the fantasy genre, and comic books. . . . They tend to stand the test of time because of their marvelous content; these kinds of projects will always capture people’s attention by providing far-away settings we’d like to escape to. I’ve been really lucky with all my roles and projects because I have an innate understanding of what they require. I just jump in and make them my own.”

“The themes and characters in the [Star Wars] live-action] films have had such a major influence on me and everyone I know. . . . As a child, Star Wars allowed me to fall into another world that was more vivid, more defined, more authentic and so much more exciting. There’s nothing lightweight about the philosophy of the films, and I am finding that The Clone Wars series is just as timeless.”

"Legacy of Terror" airs Friday at 9pm on The Cartoon Network. Here's the clip:
