10 Actors You Didn't Realise Were In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

2. George Takei (Lok Durd)

Oh Myyyyyy... That is all. During the first season of The Clone Wars, George Takei became the first person from Star Trek to be involved in the Star Wars universe, but he would not be the last (as we've seen Simon Pegg has already ventured across the stars to play Dengar). Takei's role in Defenders of Peace, an episode half-way through season one, is also instrumental to the series because it was one of the first instances a big name actor or special guest star was involved with the show, and he is the only actor from season one on this list. We all know who George Takei is, so I won't bother introducing him to you here. Besides portraying Hikaru Sulu throughout the Star Trek franchise (except in the recent, modern reboots) Takei hasn't been very prominent in Hollywood. Aside from guest appearances here and there, Takei has lately been most known for his gay rights activism campaigns, and his infamous "Oh Myyyyy" internet meme, as well as being pretty damned hilarious himself. It may be surprising to many that one of the original main cast members from Star Trek would play, of all things, a small role in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Even more surprising is the role itself, which was actually quite of an unfortunate letdown and to be frank, sucked. Lok Durd is a large Jabba the Hutt-esque Neimodian general commanding an invasion of an arbitrary planet nobody reading this article cares about. It's actually quite unsettling that he wasn't utilized and applied to greater effect, and that reason alone is what places George Takei's guest appearance as merely number two on this list, and not the prestigious number one.
