7 Star Wars Actors Who Quit

7. Freddy Prinze Jr.

Freddie Prinze Jr. provided the voice for Jedi Kanan Jarrus throughout Star Wars Rebels' four seasons, which culminated with the character's sacrificial death, seemingly bringing his Star Wars tenure to a natural enough end when the show too concluded in 2018.

However, Prinze did end up reprising the role in cameo form in both The Rise of Skywalker and an episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch's first season, since which he's straight-up confirmed that he's 100% done with the character. In an interview with Kristian Harloff, he said:

"I was asked to [return for The Bad Batch], yeah. I didn't necessarily want to. I feel like every time you hear Kanan's voice since Rebels ended, it really kind of dilutes his impact... I didn’t want to do [The Rise of Skywalker] either. I was asked as a favor and I feel like all my - all their favors are used up now."

Prinze further confirmed that he wouldn't be appearing as the character in the upcoming live-action Ahsoka series, adding, "I'm done with Kanan. I'm too old for that stuff."

While this technically doesn't preclude Prinze from playing another Star Wars character in the future, reading between the lines it sure sounds like he's happy to move onto other things.
