Here’s an all new clip from Star Wars: The Clone Wars featuring Jedi Master Luminara Unduli in pursuit of Poggle the Lesser.
In Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 Episode 7, “Legacy of Terror,” Luminara disappears while tracking the Geonosian warlord. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker lead a platoon of clone troopers in search of her. Following her trail, the heroes descend deep into the lair of the grotesque Geonosian queen – Karina the Great – where they discover that the hive is alive and teeming with undead defenders.
Luminara is voiced by Olivia d’Abo, perhaps best known for her role as Kevin Arnold’s older sister in TV’s The Wonder Years. d’Abo boasts a career that has included such iconic genre properties as Conan the Destroyer, Green Lantern: First Flight and Ultimate Avengers.
“Luminara is a Jedi, so she’s always going to have that ability to focus and remain calm,” says d’Abo “I’m thrilled to be playing a role that requires such wisdom and strength; it is really empowering.
“The themes and characters in the [live-action] films have had such a major influence on me and everyone I know,” says d’Abo. “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.”
“I love science-fiction, the fantasy genre, and comic books,” she says. “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.”
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 Episode 7, “Legacy of Terror,” premieres at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, November 20 on Cartoon Network.
