Tom Baker to appear in... something... Star Wars

[StCoop]

Since he's voicing a character it could be The Force Awakens or Rogue One but my money's on Rebels, since we know Dave Filoni's a DW fan.

Hmmm, I would imagine that it's more likely to be an animated series. But if it's voice-only, it wouldn't preclude him being in a film, especially since they're being shot in England and travel wouldn't deter him (he has admitted that he's had to slow down with his travels in recent years).

Either way, it'll be great to hear those booming tones in a Star Wars adventure.

"The Doctor, in his TARDIS. Next stop everywhere."

No matter how long, long ago, or how far, far away.

Does Tom do TV ads because there's an ad for Soothers on TV here and I swear it's his voice, or someone with a very similar voice to his..

Your audio analysis subroutines appear to be in fine shape...

[The Nth Doctor]

Well...I suppose I should watch that show now.

 

[Mr Soak]

Also, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Nice to see he survived the EU purge.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

It's not Tom Baker doing Thrawn but a character called Bendu.

 

[Mr Soak]

I know that. I was going off topic.

That is impressive. Baker's voice is still as strong and resonant as ever, his performance is excellent, and it's even well-written dialogue. I look forward to the rest of it.

 

[Chaos Descending]

Well, crud. I guess I need to get on the Rebels bandwagon!
