Vanessa Marshall – A Loyal Star Wars Fan

Via nzherald:

She might have scored a plum role on the latest Star Wars TV show, but Vanessa Marshall does not want JJ Abrams’ upcoming movie spoiled for her.

“I don’t want to know anything about Episode VII – not a single thing,” she laughs down the phone from Los Angeles.

“Personally, I don’t like spoilers. It’s wonderful to experience the magic for the first time – that’s what I want for myself for Episode VII.”

Secrecy is something Marshall’s become used to since landing the voice role of Hera in Star Wars Rebels, the new show from Disney/Lucasfilm which sees its first episode, a stand-alone mini-movie, screening in New Zealand today as part of TV2’s Labour Day line-up.

The animated show, a funnier, friendlier spin-off from the acclaimed six-season The Clone Wars, revolves around a young goofball trainee Jedi called Ezra, a conman who joins rebels based on the starship Ghost.
