Legendary voice actor Jim Cummings has confirmed that his “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars: Rebels” character of Hondo Ohnaka will return in some capacity.
Speaking with The Direct recently, Cummings told fans: “I think you’re gonna have to stay tuned, because Hondo is not done yet.”
Cummings called Ohnaka a favorite performance of his, saying: “He’s one of my favorites, because he’s a lovable rogue. You could probably actually trust him… He looks out for Ezra, and he looks out for the younglings, as they call them, and he won’t do anything to harm anybody. But I wouldn’t want to play cards with him.”
In the franchise, Ohnaka is a pirate and outlaw who crosses paths with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker after being kidnapped by Count Dooku. He was last seen in ‘Rebels’ crossing paths with Ezra Bridger.
The second season of “Ahsoka” is currently in production and so the character could be making an appearance in the new run in live-action form.
Alternatively, the animated series “Maul: Shadow Lord” – a direct sequel to “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” – is also on the way next year and could well incorporate the character.
