The New Weekly Disney Series
Star Wars Rebells: Spark of Rebellion
Disney XD, Mondays 9pm ET/8pm Central
If you are a Star Wars fan, than you are more than excited for their new series Star Wars Rebells: Spark of Rebellion. The two-hour premiere was last week. This week, it is the continuation of more rebellion and more of breathtaking adventures of the Ghost crew lead by Jedi Kanan Jarrus (voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr.)
One of the prominent parts of the series is that 2 of the 5 main characters are women who are leading the rebellion movement with their wit, determination and charisma.
Being fortunate to meet the Vanessa Marshall and Tiya Sircar who voice Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren respectively, I was sincerely touched by the talent and emotional breadth these two women operate with when it comes to bringing to life animated characters.
Vanessa Marshall and Tiya Sircar, the Female Voices In Star Wars Rebels
You gotta know that every single person involved in this Star Wars Rebells project is undoubtedly a HUGE FAN of Star Wars CULTURE. These two actresses are no exception.
During our sit-down interview with them they shared their passion for being able to stand up for your own ideas and implement them into actionable deeds. I am so happy and proud of these two women who made the female characters of the Star Wars Rebells – Hera and Sabine – the models and the ideals to look up to for any girl out there!
Vanessa Marshall as Hera Syndulla

Hera Syndulla is a gifted pilot who makes its navigation look super easy task. She knows her strength in convincing outhers in rethinking their thoughts, thus, making a heart-felt, gut-navigated, decisions. Hera keeps the Ghost group alive by keeping them all together!
Hera wears “utilitarian flight gear,” orange in color, with her Twi’lek head-tails hanging down her back. She’s not particularly glamorous, and is
just focused on getting the job done. Like every member of the Ghost team, she has her reasons for rebelling against the Empire. Uncovering those reasons will be part of the Star Wars Rebels story, says executive producer Dave Filoni.
Here’s what Vanessa Marshall says about her heroine Hera:
“Hera is the leader and, and while she is fierce, she’s a great fighter and a great pilot, she’s also very nurturing, and she sort of plays a maternal role, uh, within the crew. And I think she sets a really great example, and I does – I think she does a lot of mentoring to – Sabine. Now, I will also say parenthetically as a Star Wars fan, she is a Mandalorian. So I personally bow down to her character.”
Tiya Sircar as Sabine Wren

Sabine Wren voiced by Tiya Sircar is an expert in weapons and plays a key role in Team Ghost. She rebells against the imposed will and thoughts from the Empire and fights back using her skill and knowledge.
“She is spunky, she’s feisty, she’s got a little bit of attitude,” says actress Tiya Sircar.
It’s hard not to notice how creative Sabine character is! She is fashionable in her hair-do, extra bright and personalized graffiti cards and armor. She is an artist in everything she does and wears!
In the end, Sabine is a strong, no-nonsense heroine. As Tiya Sircar says, “I think she’s kind of an inspiration.”
As Tiya goes on, Sabine Wren is a women to admire adn to follow.
“It’s such an honor [to play Sabine] – it makes me cringe, you know. I don’t have kids, but it makes me cringe to think like all little girls have to look up to and to aspire to be. So, to me, it’s such an honor to get to play this female character who’s a teenager – and yet she is so intelligent and so not even concerned about the superficial stuff whatsoever. “
These two women, Vanessa Marshall and Tiay Sircar, are everything that any woman would want to live with: Confident and Joyful in the fact that we, as women, should stand our ground and exercise our beauty and smarts in doing the right thing.
Thank you, GALZ, for keeping your minds and hearts open with us during the interview. Your beauty, that is in both your thoughts and looks, made a difference in my life.

I’m sure fans of Star Wars are going gaga over this. The initial reaction was not that welcoming, but reviews such as this makes me think that there’s an amazing plot and storyline in this animated series as well.
Star Wars Rebels looks like a great show. I’m glad it has strong female leads in it too!
Star Wars has a cult following and it has an epic story. It’s nice to see the next wave of heroes in the Star Wars Universe.
Star Wars Fans in this house! While I was skeptical about the animated series, I love the extra stories they are able to do with it, without jeopardizing the original franchise. yay for getting to chat with some of the voices behind it!
It’s always great to see the faces behind the voices!
What a fun post, I love the movies, but have never seen any of the animated series, I love how awesome these women characters are – great role models for girls everywhere!
I am a Star Wars fan but I haven’t seen this show yet. My son would love it.
Wow. You’re very lucky to have met them in the flesh! I’m not so much a Star Wars fan but I know the story and the movie is wonderfully made.
I have never heard of them before but I am not a big entertainment follower.
My husband and son are huge Star Wars fans. They were so excited to see the first episode. I will have to show this to them it is neat to put faces to the voices.
I have not heard of this, but I’m not a Star Wars fan. My husband is though, not sure if he knows about this, will pass it on.
These women sound like they’re really in touch with their characters. That’s great because when an actor does voice over work, if they’re not in touch with their character it just doesn’t work.
I was a fan of the original movies, but after that, the story just sagged for me. This cartoon does look like lots of fun, though. Wish I could at least try it, but I don’t have cable or satellite in the house.
I am not a Star Wars fan but my husband is. The graphics look great to and is really more attuned for kids. I bet a lot of people will watch it. 🙂
I really can’t wait for this. I’ve always loved Star Wars.
I have never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing. Will share with others.
I haven’t seen this show before. It looks really interesting.
I have been enjoying watching Star Wars Rebells: Spark of Rebellion. It would be great to meet some of the voice actors.
Honestly, I don’t know who these women are, but they must be great actresses. You can’t be a bad actor/actress when doing voice over.
I have never heard of either one of those ladies, but I am excited for this show.
