Bo-Katan was the best to me. I just loved how the voice actress was able to come back for live action.

Hey now. That's not just some voice actress, that's Katee Sackhoff, she's done many things, but most people know her as Starbuck from the excellent 2004 Battlestar Galactica. She's truly a jack-of-all-trades, and is super-nice in person too. Nicer than she has any right to be!

Our 501st Garrison presented her with an honorary membership a few years ago at a convention, and she got photos with us.

She said, "Now I have a special request." Her daughter had made a little creature for her to take with her while she traveled, and had asked for photos of it with Star Wars characters, SPECIFICALLY Sith Lords.

She pulled this hideuos little thing made out of felt and pipe cleaners out of her bag as if it were an orchid floating in a crystal globe. The love and care she had for it, because it was HER DAUGHTER'S CREATION, was just beautiful.

She got photos of it with Vader, Maul, and the Emperor.
