Yeah, I definitely think Whitaker is a character from the non-canon EU (Legends)

I tend to think it may be something relevant to the obtaining of the Death Star plans in the EU. Maybe he's playing a black-washed Kyle Katarn? This movie does feel, in many ways, like a recreation of the original "Dark Forces" game. That game even had "Dark Troopers."

That would be cool if he turns out to be him.

Huh. It's possible, he more or less could be a younger version of an older Forest Whittaker. There was a lot of EU stuff with him becoming a Colonel and then a Moff in the Empire or something, but obviously all of that is out the window.

I don't think it's him, though. And it kind of comes back to... if Gareth really, really wanted that character, why didn't they just ask the actor back to reprise it? He'll have aged just about the perfect # of years since the prequels to play the character when it is set right before ANH.

Why all the suspense if it was just Panaka?

Think I'm going to stick with my bet that Whittaker is Kyle Katarn.

Gotta think Gerrera shows up in Season 3 of Rebels now. Now I need to go back and watch his arc of episodes from TCW.

Wow! The writers were doing their homework for that one. That's a good sign.

Haha, I hope he is Kyle Katarn, that would make me happy. He probably isn't though.

You're mistaken, David Prowse is struggling with dementia. As far as I know, Jones is in good health.

Ah! My mistake.

Prowse and George Lucas haven't had a good relationship in a long while.

So James Earl Jones can voice Vader here but he couldn't voice him in Battlefront or any of the recent Star Wars games. Why

EA probably didn't want to pay big bucks for his voice.
