The Clone Wars voices are back

🎬 This story is part of our Star Wars Live-Action Hub — the Skywalker Saga film by film, Episodes I through IX, in the recommended watch order.

Ahead of its Saturday SDCC panel, Star Wars: Zero Company revealed its full voice cast — and the headline is a genuine reunion: Matt Lanter returns as Anakin Skywalker, and Dee Bradley Baker voices the squad’s lead clone trooper, Trick. Both actors are reprising roles they originated on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is as close to an instant credibility stamp as this genre gets.

Why it matters for dads

For anyone who came around on Star Wars animation the honest way — bouncing off The Clone Wars at first, then getting hooked once the show found its footing in its later seasons — this cast reveal lands differently than a normal game-marketing beat. Matt Lanter’s Anakin and Dee Bradley Baker’s clone-trooper work are two of the most recognizable voices in the entire Clone Wars era, and bringing both back for an original squad story (set during the same period, not a retread) suggests Lucasfilm is treating this as a genuine extension of that show’s world rather than a cheap cash-in on the name.

BitReactor’s pedigree (built from ex-Firaxis XCOM developers) plus a turn-based tactics format is also a good match for the way a lot of us actually play these days: a title built around short, planned turns rather than twitch reflexes, which fits a stolen-hour gaming schedule far better than another live-service shooter would.

What’s next

Zero Company’s SDCC panel — with Baker, Freeman, Rekha Sharma, and Vic Michaelis in the room — runs Saturday, July 25, and should show the first real gameplay footage rather than just cast names. We’ll cover whatever ships out of that panel, and our full review lands around the August 27 release. If you want the animated backstory these actors are reprising, the Clone Wars seasons are streaming now — and worth the slow first season to get to the genuinely great back half. For everything else breaking at the show, see our SDCC 2026 preview.

The Dadnology Take

Two returning Clone Wars voices in the same cast is the strongest signal this project actually respects the material — that’s not nothing in a genre full of licensed cash-ins. We’ll reserve judgment on the actual tactics gameplay until we’ve seen more than a cast list.

When does Star Wars: Zero Company release?

August 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Who is in the Star Wars: Zero Company cast?

The headline reunion is Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker and Dee Bradley Baker voicing the clone trooper Trick — both reprising their Star Wars: The Clone Wars roles. The wider ensemble includes Jonathan Freeman, Erica Luttrell, Rekha Sharma, Vic Michaelis, JB Blanc, and more.

What kind of game is Star Wars: Zero Company?

A turn-based tactics game developed by BitReactor and published by EA and Lucasfilm Games, set during the Clone Wars era with an original squad and story.
