PARENTS STREAMING NOW ON DISNEY+ Subscription required, 18+.
In this segment of a special Q&A on Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Lost Missions, supervising director Dave Filoni, Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker), and Tom Kane (Yoda) discuss the Force Priestesses in “Destiny” and “Sacrifice.”
Yoda encounters the mystical Force Priestesses – Confusion, Anger, Sadness, Joy, and Serenity -- while on a journey of discovery for secrets of the Force. The Priestesses were all voiced by one actress: Jaime King. “Jaime had a great time,” Filoni says. “She’s someone that could take on that challenge.” He also reveals that the Force Priestesses were actually one being. “It’s one ancient being separated over time, that for our perception to be able to see her, she is these many different iconic things presented to us.” Her ability to manifest herself through the Force leads to Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Yoda learning how to maintain their consciousness after death – a concept that came directly from George Lucas.
While recording, King would both stick with one voice and occasionally jump between characters. As seen in the concept art in the video, each Priestess wore a mask reflecting her name/personification. “A lot of that design sense…it’s unsettling,” Filoni says. “So you’re not sure, when Yoda’s talking to her, is she good? Is she evil? We’re thinking in those terms, and that being is not existing in those terms, really.”
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Lost Missions is available now on Blu-ray and DVD.
