10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Everyone knows who Mark Hamill is, regardless of whether they've seen the films before. But did you know he was also in The Clone Wars, playing someone radically different to ultimate good guy Luke Skywalker? Hamill has a voice cameo in Season Six, Episode 13's "Sacrifice", where he voices ancient Sith Darth Bane, who appears as a ghostly vision to Yoda as he visits the Sith planet of Moraband.

Any trace of Luke's voice is lost in Bane, and it gives Hamill the chance to play someone who diverges from his more popular role.

Hamill is not the only star who revisits the canon in The Clone Wars, however, as in the 2008 film Samuel L Jackson gets the chance to reprise his role as Mace Windu. He is replaced for the majority of the show by Terrence Carson, who captures Jackson's voice beautifully, but he makes an appearance in Season Seven thanks to archive footage from Revenge of the Sith.

Liam Neeson, meanwhile, gets to reprise his role as Gui-Gon Jinn for several episodes of The Clone Wars, where he appears as a Force ghost. His role is much more significant than both Jackson's and Hamill's, but equally as cool for long-time fans. Come to think of it, who could possibly take Neeson's place?
